Hello.

I need help customizing the header. The site I am working on for my client is under development. Please see login info below.

I need to:
Make the area for the logo bigger (about 560px wide, possibly larger)
Keep the responsiveness, so the logo is reduced to fit the mobile, tablets, etc
Move the search box to the right, under the Cart info/links
Move the tagline text under the logo
Keep logo and tagline aligned left

Would you please let me know where these changes need to go. I am comfortable with CSS, just not php. If you make them for me, would you please let me know where in case I need to revert or edit them?

Thank you!
Maria M.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

We recommend you to make all changes in a child theme.
Add the following code into style.css of the child theme:
```
.logo { width: 600px; }
#search {float: right;}
#search #site-description {display: none;}
```
To add tagline text you need edit header.php (copy it from the theme directory to your child theme folder). Add this code <div id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div> after the line 73 <a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $logoimg ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>" /></a>

Eva Kemp.

Ok, I spoke too soon 🙁

This solution has ruined the responsiveness of the logo in smaller devices. Can you help me so the large logo only shows in the desktop, and the mobile/tablets reduce the logo as intended being a responsive theme?

Thanks!
