Removed header but empty space remains...please advise

[tanglada]

HI all,
I removed the header and logo but now I have empty white space there instead. I want to remove this white space. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Post a link to your site so we can see what you are or are not doing

Sorry about that. Here is a link:
http://bpchildren.org/store/

As you can see, I'm using the banner at the top of the page and I don't want an additional area for a logo. I managed to get the writing and pic off but the white area remains.

I have now read throught most of the faq's and I just got the ebook. I'm sure I will find that I did a few things wrong in the set up because I did quite a bit of "playing" but this white space is really annoying me!

Thanks for putting up with a newbie!

First, before you do anything else, go here
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=142 and create your own template.

Then find #logowrapper in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css and set the height to 0px or add display:none;

Wow,
Okay, I followed those instructions and it completely changed the look of my site. So I guess all the changes I made the other way were wrong.

Please tell me I'm on the right track now! Is it true that I should only make changes in my new template and or the admin panel and nowhere else?

Thanks,
Tracy

What you're seeing now is the default_template, which suggests that you haven't copied the files from includes/templates/classic/css to includes/templates/mystore/css

The 7 minute rule got me -

What you're seeing now is the default_template, which suggests that you haven't copied the files from includes/templates/classic/css to includes/templates/mystore/css

You're on the right track. Once you have the 'classic' css file in your template, do the #logowrapper thing.

Here's the idea. When Zencart creates the pages your customers see, the first thing it does is look to see what template you've selected in Admin (in your case, mystore).

Then, as it creates the various pages, it looks in your override folders (all named mystore), if any, to see if you want to do something other than the default behavior.

If you have a stylesheet.css in your includes/templates/mystore/css folder, Zencart will use that to style your cart. If you don't, it will use the stylesheet.css file in includes/templates/template_default/css folder.

Easy, once you get the idea.

The 'classic' template is just an example template the developers provide to show you how the overrides folders work.

That did the trick! The old look is back and the white space is gone.
Thank you!!
