    I cannot seem to modify the header section of the page. I can do the colors, but I want to widen the writing, make the picture bigger, center it some more to fill the blank middle space, and add a photo next to my site title and description. I’ve tried all kinds of things to modify the size, but the text just wraps around, the box doesn’t get bigger. I’ve searched documentation and forums, but don’t see anything. How can I make the text box bigger, more centered, put a small logo/photo next to the title (like on the demo), etc.

    I’m using GeoTravel theme on Genesis in WordPress.

    Thank you,
    Shannon

    You will have to add some CSS to change or overwrite the current CSS, for example:
    @media only screen and (max-width: 1360px) {
    .title-area {
    width: 620px;
    }
    For more info about how to change the CSS, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

    To add a photo, you can add a text widget to the Header Right widget area.

    Thanks

    Thank you, I will try to work on that. I can’t do anything right now as I crashed the site. Please help!! I tried modifying this from below. Then I tried putting it back. Then I tried to de-activate the Geotravel theme thinking I could re-activate it in it’s functional original form, but my dashboard and everything are white. I just wrote a new help forum for it. Totally stuck until it’s fixed!!!

    Thank you!

    Hi Abel,

    Kindly check your functions.php file for

    //* Add My Custom Footer Links

    add_filter(‘genesis_footer_creds_text’, ‘custom_footer_creds_text’);
    function custom_footer_creds_text($creds) {
    $creds = ‘[footer_copyright] ‘ . get_bloginfo(‘name’) . ‘ • WordPress Directory Theme by WP Geo Themes‘;
    return $creds;
    }
    You can edit that.

    I restored /home4/sugarrings/public_html/wp-content/themes/geodir_geo-travel/functions.php to the original file.
    I suggest you use https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#snippets to add PHP code, that will prevent those type of errors.

    Thanks

    Thank you, thank you so much. I don’t think I’ll be touching the functions.php ever again.

    Why do my listing “popular places” widget present unevenly like this?

    Because some listings have more custom fields (price) showing than others, so the listing boxes are a different size.

    Thanks

    Ah, thank you. Is there any way to not have that display on the widget so that they square up? Only show on the detail of the listing? I’ve been searching and don’t see how to do that.

    Thanks!

    Yes, change the settings in your place type setting. In the section that reads: Show in what location? You determine what will be shown in various areas related to a listing.

    I can see looking at your previous screen shot that one listing type shows the price, while the other doesn’t, which will cause that particular widget to be a different size because it displays additional details.

    I’ve tried adding in the CSS below. Nothing really appears to have changed. I tried modifying the .title-area sizes under a few different headings with no results.

    }

    My header is awkwardly spaced with offset graphic and a big center white space. Why can’t I put a logo next to the title like in the GeoTravel initial page? How can I fix my spacing and just make it look more professional and appealing? The mobile version is OK, it’s the computer presentation that is most awkward. I haven’t seen it on a tablet lately.

    Thank you!

    Try changing 

    

    .title-area {
float: center;
padding: 0;
width: 300px
}
    

    to 
    

    

    .title-area {
float: left;
padding: 0;
}
    

    in your child theme’s style.css file.
