  I want to make some small layout changes to the manifest theme I am using:
  1. I want remove the blank space left on the page if I do not upload a custom header (there is a huge white area between my menu and the content of the page).
  2. I want to remove the page header text which is repeated below the menu (it is already highlighted in the menu so I don’t need this additional header text).
  3. I want to totally remove the search box at the bottom of the them.

  I am a total beginner to CSS so would really appreciate any answers in “for dummies” language :-)
  Thanks

  1. I’m not seeing a huge whitespace between the menu and content. I see the page title and what appears to me as a nice amount of whitespace above and below the page title.

  2. This targets only static pages (home, about).

  .page h2.entry-title {
  display: none;
  }

  3. Searchbox gone.

  #footer #search {
  display: none;
  }

  On your blog page, add the following to move the date down off the top of the menu.

  .post-date {
  margin-top: 40px;
  }

  Thanks for the response.

  I had managed to find a solution to the white space problem by searching the forums so you would have seen the amended page.

  I have used your suggested solutions for the other 2 issues. Just what I wanted, thanks so much, appreciated.

  Hi, thesacredpath, I am also playing around with the minimum theme, same question as 2 above, I want to remove the page header text which is repeated below the menu (it is already highlighted in the menu so I don’t need this additional header text). Obviously the code is different for this theme but I can’t find the relevant CSS to change to remove this text. thanks

  It is best to start a new thread since you are now talking about a different theme and this will confuse people later on. In Minimum, this will do it.

  h1.entry-title {
  display: none;
  }
