Vantage Theme update appears to have ‘upset’ Masthead layout!

Hi, I have just commenced editing the Vantage Premium theme for my brother-in-law through the WordPress portal. When I first logged in I was presented with several updates including WordPress and several others including I believe the Vantage theme. I initiated these updates and now have a problem with regard to the ‘Masthead’ (header) which appears to have ‘corrupted’?

The site ‘header’ is supposed to have an image on the left and textual contact details on the right with links. The contact links appear to function but are not positioning correctly and it appears that the image on the left depicting a name and some text has become a URL directing to the home page and appears to have settled into a row of it’s own!

I can access the contact details to edit but no longer appear to be able to see the corrupted image on the left! I have also been able to re-introduce the image but the original ‘link’ image stays on screen!

Appears to be a code issue but not sure where to start?

I would be grateful for any advice on this problem, perhaps knowing which file to adapt or correct!

    Hi Mike

    It looks like you’re making use of a child theme. That’s 100%, no problems there. We do our best to ensure that updates don’t negatively impact child themes. Unfortunately sometimes we really need to make a change for the greater good, this is what happened here. What I’d recommend doing is looking at your child theme files and their parent theme counterparts side by side. You should then be able to see what changes have been made to the parent theme and mirror those in your child theme.

    Another option would be start over on the header aspect of your child theme. Copy the header related files and put them to one side, and basically remake the child header. It looks like you’ve added a tagline, nothing else. So from scratch I would just create a “parts” folder in the child theme and copy masthead.php from the parent to the child theme. I’d then add the tagline to line 10, just below the logo function.
