laurenr0789ParticipantHow can I remove the title bar on my home page? I removed the words from it, but now it just shows a grey bar across the page that takes up space between my slider and the content below. I would like to pull all my content up. I would also like to make the top menu thinner so it pulls my slider up as well.
Thanks in advance! I am new to web design and wordpress!

Andrew MisplonKeymasterHi Lauren
Thanks for reaching out 🙂 Welcome to the exciting world of WordPress.
Removing Home Page Title
Please, try going toPages > Home
, locate thePage Template
drop-down menu in the right column, select theFull Width – No Title
template.Header Height
If you’re using Ultra Premium you can head over toAppearance > Customize > Theme Design > Header > Height (px)
and adjust the header height from there.If you’re using Ultra Free you can install a plugin like Simple Custom CSS and add the following to
Appearance > Custom CSS
:/* Header Height */ .site-header,.site-header .site-branding-container,.main-navigation .menu-search { height: 112px; } @media (min-width: 1024px) { #main-slider.overlap { margin-top: -112px; } } .main-navigation div > ul > li > a,.main-navigation .menu-search .search-icon:before { height: 112px; line-height: 112px; } .main-navigation ul ul { top: 109px; }
112px
is the current height, all112px
values above will need to be adjusted to your new value. The final value,109px,
that should be changed to whatever your new value is minus3px
.Hope that helps 🙂

laurenr0789ParticipantThank you so much! It worked perfectly. Now just one more question. I am assuming the answer will be similar to the above just with different code. Guess I need to learn CSS! How do I make the padding between the bottom of my slider and the top of my home page content smaller (so that it pulls my content up)?
Thanks again for the quick reply and excellent service for a web design newbie.

Andrew MisplonKeymasterThanks 🙂
I’ve reduced the spacing by changing the page template for the home page to Page Builder Home. This should only be necessary for the home page.
If you’d like to reduce the spacing even further you could insert the following at Appearance > Custom CSS and edit as required:
/* Home */ .home.siteorigin-panels-home .site-content { padding-top: 5px; }
It’s possible this CSS is still present at
Appearance > Custom CSS
as I inserted it there for testing before the WordPress admin went to 404.You might have a memory shortage and could install the following plugin to check: https://wordpress.org/plugins/server-ip-memory-usage/. Once activated it will insert your memory usage as a percentage into the WordPress admin footer.

laurenr0789ParticipantThanks again. I tried to remove the revision you did earlier because for some reason the title was showing in the menu bar even when I changed the setting back to Full Width – No Title, but it did not seem to work. The spacing is fine now… I just need the title gone again….
Thank you!

Andrew MisplonKeymasterThanks for your feedback. I’ve taken a look now and everything seems to be ok. Have you perhaps made progress?
March 16, 2016 at 2:19 pm #3206
laurenr0789ParticipantThe only problem left is the title in the menu bar which I am trying to get rid of. It is showing on every page. I know I had gotten rid of it before…
Again thanks so much for your help, it is truly appreciated, especially with all the problems I have been having with wordpress (kicks me out about every 20 minutes).
March 16, 2016 at 2:23 pm #3207
Andrew MisplonKeymasterHave you had a chance to install the memory plugin I mentioned and check PHP memory usage percentage?
If you wanted to hide the site title you could add to Custom CSS:
/* Site Title */ .site-header .site-branding h1.site-title { display: none; }

Andrew MisplonKeymasterFor the logging out problem, please, see:

March 16, 2016 at 2:28 pm #3209
laurenr0789ParticipantThank you! It’s not that it logs me out, it just freezes up and then gives me a 404 error, but as soon as I login to my host account (bluehost) to discuss the issue with them, it unfreezes.
…atleast now I figured out all I have to do is login to bluehost and it will unfreeze, but something is not right for sure.
March 16, 2016 at 2:33 pm #3210
Andrew MisplonKeymasterHopefully, Bluehost can assist further. Definitely not ideal.
