I am using Firefox

Using the Geo Travel Theme and Genesis Framework and using beaver builder to design the home page.

Here is the site we are starting work on
http://samesexbeachweddingdirectory.com/

Problems so far

#1 Home page has extra space up top that says home in big letters and then home home in small letters (bread crumbs is not on) i need to get rid of the space so my top image is pushed up to the top menu with no space.

#2 The search area the word Customization is not showing all the way and how do i color it the fonts and the background block?

#3 Popular Categories is running off the side of the area it is in.. i see this happening on many items i add in they run to far over off the right.

#4 Post view is not spaced right the box areas – some are pushed right up to each other and others are spaced right. Plus i see no way to make them space across the full area i have blank space on the right, Any settings i change nothing works to space them right across the full area..

#5 my News blog page the top menu dose not show up on that page it seems the page is pushed up over the menu and no matter what i set for this page nothing has any effect on it can not make it have a right side bar area.

#6 Location page and listing preview pages show nothing.

#7 Add listing page is not centered is has black space on the right side.

#8 I can not get any of the map widgets to work even on the sample data.

It seems like nothing works right i make changes to settings and they have no effect.

How do i change the yellow background color of the title area of the widgets like the post view on the home page i want to use a blue color with white text?

How can i get more icons to use for adding in more categories that match the current ones i was not able to add in any more categories with out uploading one and i do not have any.

How can i set it up so someone can do a search for a town name and only see and the paid items and categories for just that town area.?

I thought this was going to be easy to get set up and going but i see it is not.

Thanks for your help

.entry-header {display: none}

This should assist too: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

#2: Add this CSS:

.geodir-search input[type="button"] {width: inherit}

#3:

.entry-content ul {margin-left: 0}

#4:

.geodir_category_list_view li.gridview_onefourth {width: calc(25% - 24px);}

#5: Change the number to suit:

.site-inner {margin-top: 50px;}

#6: Listing preview is not a page you should add there, it will only show something when a user is submitting a listing and they want to preview, before submission.
The location page has nothing because you have not added any widgets:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/

#7: Without being able to register as a user, I cannot see the Add Listing page.
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/basic-installation/#anyone

#8: We would need an admin account to have a look at that, you can post that in a private reply.

#9: If things are not taking effect, you might need to refresh and turn of any caching plugin you are using. Or you might not be looking at the right spot. If you can be more specific, we should be able to help.

#10: Widget heading background color:

.geodir_list_heading {background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% blue;}

Text in that heading:

.geodir_list_heading h2 {color: white;}

#11: Create your own markers, or https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/where-can-i-find-map-markers/

#12: How can i set it up so someone can do a search for a town name and only see and the paid items and categories for just that town area.?
Add the location switcher so visitors can navigate to a town, and then restrict popular post widgets to only paid listings (featured).
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/multilocations/#main
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/widgets/#popular-post

#13: Have a closer look at the documentation and search the forum, and for anything else, we are here for you.

I still am working on adding some space to the right and left of the pages you can see here it needs some space as it is all the way to the edge.
