Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

you can add HTML to the 'Configure Header Area' option and position things with CSS. There is also a option ato->Header Image->Overlay Header Image you could use

hi again juggledad, thanks for the tip.....it worked sort of.......my computer is set to 1024 x 768
since i am using min and max layout width of 900 pixels, with absolute positioning i can get the info in the upper right to line up with the container layout. but on other resolutions, the absolute postioning puts it out of whack with the layout container....

i need the phone number and links to stay put ultimately and be positioned with the right edge of the main container...is this possible?


here is the code i added

/* phone and header links */
#custom_header
{
position:absolute;
right:200px;
top:30px;
align:right;
font-size: 0.9em;
}

the site is set-up at http://67.20.77.230/

thanks,
wally

set the position to 'relative' and position away
Firebug in FireFox is great for things like this

One last attempt at getting this right......my site is curerntly at
http://67.20.77.230

Im trying to get the right hand phone number image and links underneath to line
up straight accross from the logo

i have this is "Configure Header Area"

%logo <div id="phone_number"><img src="http://67.20.77.230/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/TFPhone.gif" alt="Call 847-305-4490"></div><br>
<div id="links"><a href="http://67.20.77.230/contact-us/" title="Contact TagFactory With Any Questions or Comments">Contact Us</a> | <a href="http://67.20.77.230/request-a-quote/" title="Request A Pricing Quote">Request A Quote</a> | <a href="http://67.20.77.230/request-samples/" title="Use This Form to Make A Sample Request">Request Samples</a></div>
%pages


and this in "CSS Inserts"

/* phone and header links */
#phone_number
{
position: relative;
left: 600px;
}

#links
{
position: relative;
left: 560px;
font-size: 0.9em;
}


so this configures the phone and links to the right (yes!) but below the logo
when i change the order in "Configure Header Area" the phone and links end up above

i tried using
top: -80px in the CSS Inserts
which lined them up correctly, but then there was a large unwanted white space between
the logo bar and the page menu bar

any other thoughts?

thank you!

You could try shifting the logo bar up
Or put the HTML before the %logo and position it down
