empty space in my header

Permalink
hello, this is my first post here and like every forum I visit for the first time, I'm not sure where to post. But any way I have edited my header php file to put my logo in the theme, I have it lookin decent but there is a empty space below my logo and above the nav bar that is a bit wasted and I'd like to get rid of it. I also made my dad a site with concrete5 and added his logo to the theme header as well his has the same issue and he wants me to get rid of the unused space. I've been playing with the header file for a few days trying to remove it but have had no success. if I try to fill the space with something like a google ad script it just moves the empty space down and does me no good. Can I find the answer here?

Welcome!
To help you a little more - could you clarify what theme you are using (if it is a stock Concrete5 theme) and possibly even give out the URL to the site for us to review.

Very likely it doesn't lie within the php file, but in the css file. There may be a padding set to the header that keeps the spacing persistant.

Also - this probably fits best in the Themes section of the forumhttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/themes/...

main.css
line 11: margin: 100px auto 0;

change margin smaller if you want, but leave auto and 0; there.

Hi, I had a problem where when I was logged out, the nav space still persist at the top of the page without the bar. The error is somewhere in the js (I think) that creates the css on the fly. My solution - not fixing the problem but hacking a solution - is to copy the header_required.php page in the local elements folder and change

if ($this->editingEnabled()) {
      Loader::element('page_controls_header', array('cp' => $cp, 'c' => $c));
   }
    if($u->IsLoggedIn()){
   if ($this->editingEnabled()) {
      Loader::element('page_controls_header', array('cp' => $cp, 'c' => $c));
   }
    }

so it checks for loging before displaying
