Help! New to the whole CSS thing. Was wondering if there is an easy way to get everything from my header image and above to stay static while everything else scrolls? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
The blog I need help with is thebuddingdesigner.wordpress.com.
Not using CSS. That's something that's a part of the underlying theme files which we don't have access to here at WP.com.
Hang on, you can do stuff like that with CSS. :)
Try this:
#header, #header-image {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
z-index: 9;
background: white;
}
#header-image {
margin-top: 90px;
}
.middle {
margin-top: 230px;
}Note that it's specific to your design (with already modified CSS) on the Blogum theme.
You CAN? Wow, ya learn something new every day on the internet.
Heh. :)
Awesome, thanks!
@designsimply I have also been trying to get this to work for the 2011 theme. Can you please direct to which file I would add the "position:fixed" code to. Would it be the header.php file?
@beaujangls1
Please post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question.
The CSS posted above is specifically for the Blogum theme.
I wouldn't really recommend making the header area static... it takes up a ton of space and it seems like it would be annoying on small screens.
For the Twenty Eleven theme, I looked at the demo site as an example http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com/ and you could set the header as fixed with this CSS:
beaujangls1
#branding {
position: fixed;
background: white;
max-width: 1000px;
}You'd probably also want to get rid of the gab at the top of the page or the content shows through when you scroll:
#page {
margin: 0em auto;
}sorry here you go…
@beaujangls1, your site is made with WordPress, but it isn't hosted here at WordPress.com. Hopefully, you're already on the right track! To get further help, you should ask at http://wordpress.org/support/
