Help with Vantage child theme header and css
I created a Vantage child theme cause I'd like to change some things that parent is lacking. I followed Appthemes tutorial on creating child theme so I have a style.css and functions.php (which is empty). Could someone help me with the following? I spent over 2 hours trying to make changes but the code isn't correct.
1. Parent header.php displays <!DOCTYPE html> in header but the correct declaration is as follows:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I created a child theme header.php and copied the parent code. How do I add the doctype to the top of the child theme? I tried adding it but it still displays <!DOCTYPE html> and not the correct declaration.
2. Remove space in masthead container (where logo or background image is).
I removed Vantage default logo from the theme. Since my site doesn't have a logo yet, I want to move the top nav bar up so that it covers the space in the masthead container. However, I want the robots to see the site's title and description but not humans. What code do I use in my child theme's style sheet?
Using Firebug and saw the following code:
Code:
<hgroup>
<h1 id="site-title">
<a class="custom-header-image" style="height:70px;width:400px;background: transparent url('') no-repeat 0 0;" href="http://www.cashonlydoctorsdirectory.com/">Cash Only Doctors Directory</a>
</h1>
<h2 id="site-description" style="color:#444444;">Cash Only Doctors Directory</h2>
</hgroup>
What code do I add to the child theme stylesheet so that the height of header image is 0? I tried .custom-header-image height in css but it's not working.
