Foodie Pro Formating Questions

[jess @ make and do crew]

I have three formatting questions for Foodie Pro. It seems as if Shay Bock's site now requires a membership, so I can't access some of the content that used to explain this first question.

1. I have figured out how to make my header left justified in the CSS. How do I then add an ad space to the right of it?

2. Related to the above--is there a way to move a menu into the header area? What about the before header area? I'd like to separate my "about" and "contact" links to a different menu, but I can't figure out how to do that without just adding a secondary menu right above the existing menu, which just looks busy and weird.

3. I'm having a hard time formatting the eNews extended widget in my before header section. I'd like to make the grey background shorter, so that it doesn't take up so much unnecessary vertical space.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

hi there!

great looking site you have

if you look in WordPress > widgets do you have the header right widget area? this is normally included with theme and this is where you would put in your ad or another menu

as for the newsletter not being so high, you can remove the padding in your style.css for that widget area, from 10px to 0, like so.

.before-header {
  background: #f5f5f5 none repeat scroll 0 0;
  clear: both;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0; /*--- now has no padding- -- */
  text-align: center;
}

Hey Jamie--

Thanks a lot for the response.

-I don't have a header right widget area in Foodie Pro. There's a before header (where the eNews extended widget currently is), but that's about it.

-I attempted the padding tweak and it didn't change anything. Do you have any idea why? Is it something particular to this plugin?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi there Jess

Did you actually add the above css tweak to your style.css (around line 1289) just set the padding to 0

or did you try adding it some other way.

For the header right widget, in your themes functions.php file

there should be this

//* Unregister the header right widget area
unregister_sidebar( 'header-right' );

echo that out by putting some forward slashes in front of it like so

//* Unregister the header right widget area
//unregister_sidebar( 'header-right' );

this will give you your header right widget area back, you'll see it under widgets in your WordPress dashboard

but your still going to need to style that, as well as move the logo to the left.
