Hello,

I was wondering how to add a 1140x200 header in place of the default 320x110 size in 'Header' section under 'Appearance'?

Yes I am.

Anita,

Thank you for taking time out to offer your assistance, I appreciate it.

In response to your question, no I am using my secondary menu (below the header) for my Home/About/Contact/Privacy navigation.

I understand what you are driving at, but I want to basically do exactly what you did on your http://goo.gl/1AsaA website, except not have the box so tall.

I've seen in the theme settings where I can place the search box to the right, but it appears on my header, I don't want that, I want it above the header just like yours.

Initially I went into the functions.php and added "topnav" so that I had a new widget, but then went with the simple sidebar plugin, which does the same thing. Then I found simple hooks to be better because it has a hook that you can place the code in to create a topnav bar above the header. I know I could achieve the same by just activating the primary menu, but I want

Now I'm just trying to figure out how to call the "topnav" code in the stylesheet that will resize and color the bar.

I was just reviewing my post and saw some funky coding.

The code for the simple hooks plugin includes everything after the "MsoNormal" for each line.

@pete & Sozo,

I just took a peek at your site and I am trying to do the same, add a top nav above the header.

Would you mind sharing your code that used to get the result you wanted.

I added a widget via the functions.php using this code:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘topnav’,
‘name’ => ‘Top Nav’,
‘description’ => ‘This is top nav above the header.’,
) );

I added the simple hooks plugin and called up the nav before the header using this code:

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><div class="topnav"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘topnav’ ); ?></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></div></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">

Result is I can see the spacing for the nav bar above the header, but the id (#topnav) i created inn the style sheet does not display the topnav bar as I would like.
I'd like to know how you solved this on your site.

My bad, yes I am using Firebug.

I snatched the code and modified and placed it in the style sheet above the header code like so like so:

/* TopNavbar
------------------------------------------------------------ */

#topnavbar {
background-color: #0f1839
background-position: initial initial;
background-repeat: initial initial;
border-bottom-color: #ffffff;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
height: 40px;
height: 40px;
}

But I don't see the placement above the header when I refresh the page from the WP-Admin for the site.

In addition, I don't see the code when I use Firebug and I don't see the "div id="topnav" when I view the page source.

I  am beginning to understand how things are layed out in the style sheet, but can't figure this one out...I know I'm close.

I got it squared away.

I imported the xml file and viewed my site and demo site side by side.

My Front page display settings under the "Reading" settings were incorrect, I had the option set to "static posts" instead of "last post"
