Site title blends with Header text when browser is narrowed

When I reduce the width of the browser window, the header text starts to move to the left, and as I reduce the browser width further, the header text and site title mix/overlap/blend.

Is there a solution/work around for this?

My preference is that the header text drops down below the site title as the browser narrows….

Thanks

    Hi Cath,

    Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at what’s going on?

    Hi Alex,
    I set up a sample here:

    If you just reduce the browser width you should see what I mean

    Hi Cath,

    Sorry for the delay.

    You can change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    @media (max-width: 770px) {
    	body.responsive #masthead .hgroup .logo {
    		float: none;
    		text-align: center;
    	}
    
    	body.responsive #masthead .hgroup .support-text, body.responsive #masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar {
    		position: static;
    		display: block;
    		margin-top: 30px;
    		max-width: 100%;
    		text-align: center;
    	}
    }
    
    

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    Looking at your solution, it looks like you are rearranging things when the browser width is < 770 px.

    I dont think that is a good solution because what if the issue happens at a browser width of 780 px? If the issue happens at 780 px then the solution above will not take effect.

    I am not a professional developer and I greatly respect SiteOrigin, the themes, the page builder etc and so I dont mean to tell you what to do, but I think css that simply moves the header text under the site title when those 2 fields get close is a much better solution. And I know this is possible because I have done similar things.

    In the meantime I have applied some css that moves the header text under the site title all the time, regardless of browser width.

    PS I think that currently the header text can blend with the site title is a bug in the theme, and should be addressed not by a workaround for me, but changed in the theme permanently, in the manner I suggest above…..
