My website is www.rosstheexplorer.com.
I love the look of my site when the browser is 1302px wide or being viewed on a mobile device.
Although between 600px - 1302px the menu overlaps the header which is really frustrating.
This is my header.php
<?php
/**
* The Header for our theme.
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="content">
*
* @package Penscratch
*/
?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title><?php wp_title( 'A|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<a class="skip-link screen-reader-text" href="#content"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'penscratch' ); ?></a>
<div >
<div class="header">
<img class="header-img" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.rosstheexplorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Cover-Photo-6-2.jpg">
<img class="mobile-header-img" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.rosstheexplorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cover-Photo-Mobile-Test.jpg">
</div>
</div>
<div >
<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<button class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'penscratch' ); ?></button>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->
</div>
<div >
<div id="page" class="hfeed site">
<header id="masthead" class="site-header" role="banner">
<div class="site-branding">
<?php if ( function_exists( 'jetpack_the_site_logo' ) ) jetpack_the_site_logo(); ?>
<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
<h2 class="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>
</div>
</header><!-- #masthead -->
<div id="content" class="site-content">
<?php if ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home">
</a>
<?php endif; // End header image check. ?>
</div>
This is my additional CSS
@media screen and (min-width: 661px) {
.mobile-header-img {
display: none;
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 660px) {
.header-img {
display: none;
}
}
*.header img {
max-width: none;
width: 100%;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 75em)
{
.site {
max-width: 1153px;
margin: -50px auto;
padding: 54px 108px;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
.menu li li a {
font-size: 0.8em;
border: 1px rgb(56, 57, 59)
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 799px) {
.menu li a {
font-size: 1.2em;
color: black;
border: 3px rgb(56, 57, 59);
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 799px) {
.menu ul li {
border-bottom: 1px solid lightgrey;
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 799px) {
.main-navigation li:hover > a
{color: grey}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 799px) {
.menu li li a {
font-size: 0.8em;
border: 3px rgb(56, 57, 59);
color: grey;
}
}
.main-navigation {
margin-top: 437px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
.main-navigation {
padding-top: 0px;
background-color: rgb(56, 57, 59) ;
font-size: 1.5125em;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
.main-navigation ul ul
{
font-size: 0.8em;
background-color: rgb(56, 57, 59) ;
border: 1px rgb(56, 57, 59) ;
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 799px) {
.main-navigation {
margin-bottom: -20px;
}
}
.site-header {
border-bottom: 0px solid #eee;
}
What I Have Tried
- In header.php I tried to put the navigation menu and header in separate divs and then try things like "div style = float:left" and "div style = clear:both".
- In Additional CSS I tried altering the position of .main-navigation, I tried static, sticky and absolute.
- In Additional CSS I added margin-top:XYZpx to .main-navigation. If XYZpx was large enough it would prevent there being overlap but it would also sometimes leave massive white spaces between the navigation menu and header image which I do not want. I want the two elements to sit neatly side by side. I know I could nest .main-navigation in multiple media queries and change the margin-top value for each media query but that seems very inefficient.
Does someone have a simpler solution?
