Vantage Premium Masthead width/padding

By Fabio Penny, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hello,
My masthead menu (top-level) is wider than the rest of the site. I have the site as “boxed” but I am confident I messed up the padding somewhere.
I believe that I also messed up the padding for the breadcrumbs spacing below the masthead also.
Thanks in advance for the guidance.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Fabio

    Thanks for reaching out.

    All WordPress.org themes completely overwrite their theme folder during theme updates. Changes made via Appearance > Editor will be lost during theme updates. Please rather insert your CSS changes at Appearance > Custom CSS.

    It looks like you’ve made several changes to the style.css file. To recover you’ll need to use a diff program like: https://sourcegear.com/diffmerge/.

    1. Download the original Vantage premium file here:
    Private Snippet

    2. Copy style.css from the vantage folder to your desktop.

    3. Download style.css from your server. It’s at /wp-content/themes/vantage. You can also copy the contents of style.css from Appearance > Editor and save it in a text file on your desktop. Call it style-new.css.

    4. Open both files with DiffMerge.

    5. Locate all the changed rules and copy them into Appearance > Custom CSS. For example, you’ve changed:

    input[type=text],
input[type=email],
input[type=password] {
  padding: 8px;
}

    So that rule needs to be inserted into Custom CSS.

    There look to be several instances where you’ve tried to set padding or margin without a unit. Padding or margin need a unit. 10 won’t work. 10px will.

    Once you’ve completed this you’ll need to re-install Vantage to get the stylesheet back to normal. The menu problem is caused by a CSS edit.

    Here is how you can restore Vantage: Page: Updating a Theme Using a ZIP File.

    Once the Vantage style.css file is back to normal and you have your changes stored safely at Appearance > Custom CSS we can tackle the menu problem if it’s still there.
