Menu header is not moving

    Hi, this is very frustrating. The Menu header is large and black and contains a list of the 23 posts I have made and a few pages. When a post is selected, the menu header and feature image will not scroll out of the way. The post is basically unreadable except for about an inch at the bottom of the page. HELP!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there
    I see what you mean. Did you recently change themes? https://wordpress.com/theme/affinity has instructions that may help you sort this out.

    I have added a few tags to get the attention of the WordPress folks, but it is likely to be a while before someone can look at this, since there are a few of them and we get many questions here. Hopefully the link i gave you will have the fix before they can get to this.

    Let us know how you make out

    Hi Dave and thank you for your reply and so fast too. No, I did not change themes. I was having this problem a week ago and one of my readers alerted me to it. I went in and changed the menu (primary) to the widget sidebar area and removed the menu from the home page. I may have screwed something up, formatting wise, inadvertently, I think.

    Dave, if I change themes, will it work out even though I may have messed things up as I stated above?

    Hi there,

    As you don’t currently have the menu active I can’t see what’s going on. Can you please re-enable the menu and let me know so I can take a look?

    That said, why do you add all your posts to the menu? While it’s possible to add posts to a custom menu, the menu is not designed to be an index of all published posts on your site, and if you add each new post to the menu you’ll reach a point where your site won’t load any more because it takes too long for the menu to load. It will also become quite hard to find anything in the menu if it’s too big.

    If you want an index of all posts available on your site, I suggest you rather make a page for that. You can then use the Archive shortcode to show a list of all your posts on that page. With the shortcode, each time you publish a new post it will be added to the list automatically, unlike a menu where you have to add it yourself each time.

    Sorry, I left out the shortcode instrcutions:
