    Hi TreeSpaulding,

    Sorry for the delay!

    As you’re a Vantage Premium user, you’re entitled to priority email support. If you would like to make use of that, please follow the instructions found on this page. Please reference this thread.

    It looks like you’ve managed to center your headers. If this isn’t the case could you please let me know and point me in the direction of which headers you were referring to?

    Hi, Alex,

    I guess I didn't mean headers but the name and tagline in the masthead –
    that's what I would like centered, but I guess they are actually in the right side bar of the masthead. Is there a way to just have my logo, site name and tagline and social media spread out in the header so the site name and tagline are in the middle, without centering everything, one on tip of the other?

    I tried clicking on "this page" in your email and there were no instructions and the "email premium support" link does not work. Is there some place else to go for premium support?

    Thanks!

    Hi TreeSpaulding,

    Very sorry for the delay.

    That’s odd. You should have been able to email us directly by clicking the mailto link. You can email us directly at [email protected].

    Based on your description of what you’re after, I think you would be better off with a layout builder widget (it’s basically page builder widget) rather than a typical header. So we’ll need to use a child theme to allow for this. Please download the child theme here. Please then navigate to WP AdminAppearanceThemes and then Add NewUpload Theme. Then please upload and activate the child theme.

    Then please navigate to WP AdminAppearanceWidgets and add a layout builder header and set all other header widgets as inactive as there should only be one widget present in the widget area if a layout builder is being used. This will require you to recreate the widgets you previously had but it will give you much greater control over your header.

    Please open the layout builder widget you just created and add a four column row. Add your desired widgets and set it up how you would like it.

    If you would like to setup the header how you initially wanted it, let me know and I’ll provide instructions on how to do that. I wouldn’t recommend it though as it’ll look very… spotty in different browsers.

    Hi,
    I've been trying to follow your directions but I'm stuck.
    I downloaded and activated the child theme.
    I added the layout builder widget to the header and deleted the other header widgets.
    Then I created a 3-column row. You suggested 4 columns but I think I just need three: one for the logo, another for the title and tagline, and a third for the social icons. Am I forgetting anything?
    Then I added the widgets: siteorigin image for the logo, siteorigin headline for the title/taglin, and vantage social media for the social icons.
    Only the social media widget works. For the other two I get this: *This widget has scripts and styles that need to be loaded before you can use it.
    Please save and reload your current page. **You will only need to do this once.*
    I've tried everything I can think of and I'm still getting this message.
    What can I do?
    Thanks!

    Hi TreeSpaulding,

    Oh, that’s right – your title and tagline are from a single widget. Sorry about that.

    That should only happen if the assets aren’t able to be loaded correctly. This is typically due a plugin conflict.

    Can you try disabling all non-SiteOrigin plugins and see if this fixes the issue? You’ll need to clear all your caches after disabling your plugins.

    If it does fix the issue, then try re-enabling your plugins one by one until the issue comes back. This procedure will help diagnose which plugin is causing the issue.

    Once we know that, we’ll be able to look at what might be causing the conflict and either solve the problem or help you find an alternative plugin.

    If this doesn’t help, would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look?

    Just noticed that the child theme I uploaded is Masthead widgets only. Is that what it was supposed to be?
