Carrie, in your Extensions -> Template manager for J51 Habitat go to the Logo option and look for these settings (check attachment to this post).

I currently have my install of Habitat set to 0 and 0, but you should see a value of 48 or so for one of the options, which is what you are looking for (X Position / Y Position)

Hi Carrie

Along with Chrisps suggestion you can also add the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters which reduce the height of the logo area of your template. By default this is 130px, the following will reduce this height to 70px (edit to taste).

#container_header {

    height: 70px;

}

K, we're inching closer to a solution here...

Chris's suggestion, to change the X and Y position numbers in the logo option both to 0, seemed to make no difference. I even tried wildly inappropriate numbers on each of these axes, like 150. Still, no change in the placement of the logo. So ... I wonder if perhaps Chris is using a logo image, and that these numbers possibly relate only to the placement of such an image? Whereas I am just using a TEXT logo, whose placement seems entirely unaffected by the X and Y position numbers. What I need is to be able to move my text logo up to the top of the page.

Ciaran's suggestion, adding in the CSS code, definitely removed the extra whitespace, moving the menu bar up on the page. However, since the text logo remained in the same position as before, the CSS change merely put the menu bar right OVER the the text logo. I'd like the whitespace and menu bar to be exactly where Ciaran's CSS fix put it - but for the text logo to appear above that menu bar, at the very top of the page. Is there perhaps another CSS fix, specific to the text logo, that could accomplish this?

(For now, I just reset everything to the defaults, so all the elements remain visible until we figure out this other little piece of how to move the text logo up on the page.) Thanks.

Hi Carrie

Yes that would explain it. For the moment the X and Y fields are only relevent when using an image based logo. To change the vertical position of your text based logo you can add the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters..

h1.logo-text a {

    top: 10px;

}

You can edit the above to your own taste. Note you can also use negative figures if needed ( -10px ).

Yes, these CSS fixes solved the issue. I ended up using 80px (rather than 70) on the menu height; and 0 px (rather than 10) on the logo height. The result was absolutely perfect. (see impactmusic4kids.com) Thanks again for your awesome help, Ciaran!

And Chris - thanks for your info on the x and y position. If I ever need to plug in an image logo, now I know how to position it, thanks to you and Ciaran.

These templates and this Forum are truly awesome! So happy. That's one more site pretty much good to go now.

Great Carrie... thank you for the update
