    I am building a site in Pretty Young Thing. I have taken the header out from the wrap, and tried every little thing to get the header to run full width of the browser. I am still stuck with ~20 or px of margin around the header that I cannot find anywhere in the code (using firebug). I have tried every little trick of changing width, margin, etc. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? The site is currently behind a coming soon splash bc my client doesn't want the site going live until it's finished.

    It's hard to tell without being able to actually see the problem, but how have you done the full-width header? Is it custom CSS or are you using the Custom Header functionality found within some themes in the Dashboard under Appearance > Header?

    I'm trying to do it in Custom CSS. I'm using the Pretty Young Thing theme.

    This is the custom CSS I've added, but I'm still getting the white margins on either side of the header image. I literally have reached the point where I'm adding/changing every single kind of code I can think of to try and see what will change it from the Firebug side, but nothing is working...:

    #wrap {
    background-color: #fff;
    border-left: 1px solid #ffffff;
    border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 1300px;
    }

    #header {
    height: 155px;
    width: 1300px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    }

    #inner {
    padding: 0px 50px 0px 120px;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 1292px;
    }

    .wrap {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 1300px;
    }

    body {
    width: 100%;
    }

    #header .wrap,
    #footer .wrap,
    #footer-widgets .wrap {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 960px; //This is the default Prose width, but you can change it if you want.
    }

    .header-full-width #title a {
    display: none !important;
    }

    #header #title {
    display: none !important;
    }

    .header-full-width #title-area {
    display: none !important;
    }

    #header {
    background: url(http://designhermomma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/smallernarrow-DHM-header1.png) no-repeat !important;
    background-position: center;
    background-position: left 10px;
    display: block; /*Added this line*/
    margin-left: auto; /*Added this line*/
    margin-right: auto; /*Added this line*/
    }
