[Resolved] My blog pages not showing any padding on left

[Chad]

Hi,

My blog pages, archive and individual blogs, are showing zero padding, to the left side, top and bottom too. I’ve gone into customize > layout > container and adjusting the padding but that seems to be the wrong thing. Can you tell me what I’m missing?

Hi there,

I believe you have a full-width layout element applied to the entire site:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks, but if I trash that layout element, it brings me back text padding. But it’s giving me a huge black logo image above my menu bar on the blog page that I can’t figure out how to get rid of otherwise. Apparently months ago when I created the element it was to get rid of the giant black logo. Can you tell me what I’m missing there?

[Leo]

Can you try removing the navigation logo in Customize > Layout > Primary Navigation, then the option to use navigation as a header should appear so you can activate that:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-as-a-header/

Then you shouldn’t need that layout element at all.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thank you that seems to have worked! One last thing (I hope).

In doing what you said I lost my top left logo/home button out of my navigation bar/header. It still shows up on mobile and maybe tablet views but is gone, site wide when I view the site on my laptop. Can you tell me how to get that back?

[Leo]

Have you solved this?

I can see the logo:

Not yet. I see the black on white logo you are showing in your screenshot if I look at it with my older macbook. But with my new one it’s still blank. However the correct logo, should be a white snake and triangle on a black background. Which is correct still in mobile view.

[Chad]

What’s confusing me is that there are a lot of places to upload logos, and I’m not sure which one’s go where.

[Leo]

Is the correct logo uploaded under site identify?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-header-logo/

If so any caching plugins or server cache?

[Leo]

With the navigation as a header option activated, you should only need to upload 1 logo which under Site Identity.

Then you can actually turn off mobile header option and the layout won’t change:

Let me know 🙂

Ok, I just replaced the site identity logo, to white on black and that looks to have worked. However, in doing so, now all my Brizy created main pages (but not the homepage) turned white. The blog pages still have a black background which I like. So it’s like the brizy page container background changed colors with the change in logo. Sorry this is being such as PITA

[Chad]

Wait just changed my container background white and that fixed the Brizy pages but changed my blog background white, making the blog unreadable.

[Chad]

Yeah, I think I’m working my way back to the original issue I had, and the reason I created that element last year. I want to have some of my pages with a black test on a white background. And my main pages the opposite.

[Leo]

Can you guide me to the specific page where I can see the issue?

[Chad]

Yes, here is my home page, created with Brizy, where everything looks good.

Here is another page created with Brizy that has a white background, and I’m trying to make that background black to match the blocks, like on the home page. It seems all my pages are like this.

And here is my blog (not created in Brizy, because it’s extensive and I imported it from my old site, and because thus far Brizy’s text editor leaves something to be desired.

Right now the blog looks good to me. However, if I change the container background to black, to make my pages look like I want, it then gives me black text on black background for my blog. I’m also a bit confused about as to where the black is coming from on the blog as it is. It looks like a background behind the background. Which I like, I just don’t know where the input is. I hope that makes sense.

I really appreciate all the help!
