Hi MarcsRadio,
I’ve taken a look and this appears more to be IE just ignoring the CSS. Could you try changing a theme setting to see if this fixes the issue and if doesn’t I’ll give you some CSS that will.
In your WordPress admin, navigate to AppearanceTheme Settings. In the logo group is a setting called No Widget Overlay. Change the setting to the opposite of what it currently is.
Please let us know if you need any help with this.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your response. I’ve deactivated the [No Widget Overlay] setting, but it’s still not aligning properly on Chrome and Firefox.
Hi MarcsRadio
You can fix this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.
#header-sidebar { padding: 0 !important; }You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
Hi Alex,
The code worked perfect on Explorer and Chrome, but in Firefox the widgets now alignes to the top of the page…
In respect of the custom CSS feature, will the modifications remain there whenever an update is launched or should I build a child theme to keep the customizations?
Hi MarcsRadio,
That’s really odd how FireFox was having issues with the code. I’ve looked over it, and it seems to be a simple height issue (being that FireFox settings the height based on the iFrame and just presumes it doesn’t change when it does). To fix this please navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.
#header-sidebar { padding: 0 !important; height: auto !important; margin-top: 15px !important; }You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
Hi Alex,
Now it alignes perfectly on all browsers. I’m just playing a little with the margin-top figures to center the iframe.

Hi MarcsRadio,
Sorry! I got too caught up fixing the issue that I completely neglected to answer your question. The SiteOrigin Custom CSS plugin is independent of your theme and will remain there when the plugin is updated also. You’ve got nothing to worry about for when it comes to losing the CSS. :)
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Thank you Alex!
