I had edited my tpl_header.php in my overide-common folder. I added a custom horizontal nav menu. Later, i decided to turn off nav-categories. this is when my page broke apart.

I replaced my tpl_header.php with the original, then re-edited, carefully, now its fine.

Just need to be sure that if you have edited your tpl_header file that you take great care in where you place your custom code.

In this case, i had pasted my code AFTER the CLEAR div, when I should have pasted BEFORE the CLEAR div (in the eof-branding display, in my case).

hope this helps.

T,

The best tool for styling pages using Firefox is:

  1. Web Developer extension, which you can download free from Mozilla or from https://www.chrispederick.com.
    A. The Information > Display Element Information button will show you all kinds of useful info about any element you click on.
    B. You can temporarily edit the CSS with the CSS > Edit CSS button and see the results instantly, and then save the edits that you like.

Look for:
#contentMainWrapper, #cartBoxListWrapper, #ezPageBoxList, #cartBoxListWrapper ul, #ezPageBoxList ul, #mainWrapper, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage {
margin: 0em;
padding: 0em;}

  1. The red font above is what you want to control in the .css
  2. Familiarize yourself with the float property
  3. http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_float.asp

Re: How to Stop categories showing on header bar

i tried the float for the #contentMainWrapper.
float left. it worked!
but as a result the bottom navigation bar become on top, appendingg after the top navigation bar. Now i have the 2 navigation bars on top, before the contents. this happens to both IE and firefox.

Re: How to Stop categories showing on header bar

I am guessing that maybe you didn't need to apply the float. I am also guessing that the template you are using may have been edited from it's original state to be shifting as described.

Maybe you could post the code to the tpl_header file here for reference ?

I am no expert, but, I was able to find my problem and fix it myself, maybe I could see what is happening in your code.
