Hi, I am trying to remove the padding on the sticky header and it very strangely will not away with custom css. I did a hard refresh on the page and using developer tools you can see that the original padding of 20px (for top and bottom) has been replaced with 0px (all around), but the padding is still showing up on the div.

Here is a link to the page: http://everybodycolors.com/test/

And here is a screen shot illustrating the issue: http://everybodycolors.com/images/paddingIssueScreenShot.png

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jason

Hello,

I don’t see fixed header on your site.
Have you disabled it?
Please provide us with wp-admin panel credentials in Private Content.

That’s strange. The fixed header comes up for me when I go to the homepage and scroll down. Login info in private content.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Really? I have no problem accessing my dashboard. What browser are you using?

That’s very strange. I looked at the error log on my server and don’t see anything. I tried deactivating all the plugins I am not currently using. Maybe that will help?

Hello,

I was able to access.
I’ve added this code in child style.css file:
```
.fixed-header-area .container>.navbar-collapse {
    display: table-cell !important;
}
```
Please clear browser cache and check fixed header now.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

The padding is still there, but at least the nav bar itself is a bit slimmer and the buttons are in a better place now, although I wish the buttons had a tiny bit of space between them and the website logo/banner, but for some reason I can’t call to any of the stuff in the sticky header with css and I don’t understand why. Here are some screen shots of other issues with the sticky header that I am unable to alter with css for whatever reason:

At mobile size the shopping cart icon drops below the header area:

At tablet size both the mobile menu and the standard menu appear on top of eachother:

I wish the css on this sticky header weren’t so stubborn and I’d fix these problems myself instead of bothering you about it. Thanks again for all of your help!

Hello,

1. Try to use the following css code to increase space between logo and menu in fixed header:
```
.fixed-header-area .header-logo {
    padding-right: 60px !important;
}
```
2. I’ve added the css code to fix the problem in mobile view:
```
@media only screen and (max-width: 992px) {
.navbar-right {
    margin: initial !important;
}
.cart-bag {
    margin-top: -35px !important;
    right: 20px !important;
}}
```
Please clear browser cache and check your site.

Great, thanks!

The mobile menu and the standard menu are still appearing on top of each other at tablet size, though. See example image:
https://everybodycolors.com/images/tabletSizeMenuProblem.png

Could you also list the screen width stops for the responsive design (i.e. @media only screen and (max-width: 992px) and what the other max-width settings are)? Thanks again!

Looks good, thank you! But now the nav buttons are jumping above the shopping cart again in the 992px – 1200px range. It seems like the div for the header-logo is pushing the navbar there, but the css says the max-width should be 250px, yet it is over 600px. Here is an image illustrating the problem: https://everybodycolors.com/images/navBarPlacementProblem.png.

This should hopefully be that last issue with regards to the sticky header, thanks!

So, I was able to make the div smaller, but for some reason it has a huge margin on the right side that is still causing the shopping cart button to get pushed down. When I try to remove the margin with css it doesn’t change anything. Example: https://everybodycolors.com/images/cantGetRidOfMargin.png

Sorry for all the trouble. I think this is an excellent theme, but for whatever reason the sticky header is a real pain to edit with css. Thanks for all your support!

Hello,

Please add this code in child style.css file:
```
@media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1200px) {.fixed-header-area .collapse {
    display: table-cell !important;
    width: 400px;
}}
```
