[Support request] Sticky Header Conflict With Mobile Header

[Jeff]

Hello,

When using the following CSS, I’m unable to view the primary navigation menu pages while in mobile.

.custom-fixed-header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 2000;
}
.custom-fixed-header + * {
padding-top: 120px;
}

When I remove the CSS I’m able to view the menus while in mobile, but then the header is no longer fixed/sticky.

I also used the following hooks.

Before Header area:

After Header area:

Thank you for the help!

Hi Jeff,

Any reason you need to use that CSS?

Should be able to achieve the same layout using this method here:

Hi Leo,

Thank you for the quick response. I found the CSS in a similar support post and gave it try. It worked with the exception of the mobile navigation menus not being visible
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-create-a-fixed-header-and-top-menu-in-the-generate-press-theme/#post-31579

I followed the instructions on the page from the link you provided and the changes seem to work with one caveat. The navigation logo is now to close to the menu buttons and I’m having trouble figuring out how to widen the space between them. I would like to be able to keep the menu buttons approximately where they are and move the logo further to the left side of the container. Can I alter following CSS to do that? I tried imputing different numbers in the “left: 0:” field without success.

.main-navigation .site-logo.navigation-logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}

I appreciate the support.

Is the navigation location set to above or below header as the article suggested?

Leo,

No, I currently have it set it to float right.

I did try both above and below the header. However, I want my primary navigation menus within the header and aligned with the logo. Do I still need to select the primary navigation location to either be set to above or below the header?

Thanks,

Yes – Set it to below header and align left should do it.

This site is using the same method.

Leo,

That works, but now the header image is no longer viewable. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Try uploading a background image to the navigation.

That works, but how do I adjust the image location?

[Leo]

I would recommend cropping the image using WordPress Edit Media so you have better control for it.

Your navigation container is currently 1100 x 111px.
