[Resolved] Reduce padding on top of widget text in header

[Pierre Robert]

Hello!

I’m stuck and I need some help with the layout of the header. There is a logo on the left and I want to include a short text to the far right. I can’t align the text vertically.

Can someone help?

Many thanks,
Pierre

Sorry.

Just use “**” for username and password.

It looks like you’re using a panel grid widget which is adding the extra padding.

Have you tried just using a regular Text widget for this as it’s plain text?

Let me know 🙂

I’m using a SiteOrigine PageBuilder widget.I’m using the visual editor widget because I couldn’t modify the font to Monserrat. And I couldn’t align the text the way I wanted to.

Hope this helps.

In that Page Builder widget is there an option for you to adjust the padding? It looks like it has 20px of inline padding added to the element, which typically means there’s an option somewhere in the widget where you can adjust it.

Let me know 🙂

There was a 20px padding that I brought down to 0px. It helps a bit. Would it be possible to obtain that particular layout without having to use SiteOrigin PageBuilder?

I believe you could just add that text to a Text widget and check the “Automatically add paragraphs” option.

I tried everything I could think of (I think), but nothing seems to work. I imported a Header extension, but I can’t install it. It says that GP doesn’t support custom headers.

Thanks again for your quick response.

Have a great weekend,
Pierre

Custom Headers are an old WordPress thing – we use the Customizer now 🙂

So adding a regular text widget didn’t work? The font you have is applied to all paragraphs, so just checking the “Automatically add paragraphs” checkbox in the text widget should get the exact same results as the page builder widget.

I’m almost there. I used PageBuilder widget with one row in the header, in which I inserted a RichText Editor widget (both SiteOrigin) and I set up the row to be full length. I did what you suggested and the text is played out like I want it and in line with the logo.

Now if I could only move the logo to the left, in line with the first menu item. I set it up to go align to the left, but it doesn’t work.

Thanks again,
Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Any reason why you’re not uploading the logo in “Customize > Site Identity”? It looks like you added it as part of the page builder?
