Title: Adding offset to scroll for fixed mobile header Last modified: March 31, 2017 --- # Adding offset to scroll for fixed mobile header * Resolved [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/) * (@hanshank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/) * Hi, * I am using responsive.menu and loving it! Great job with the plugin. * Only problem I encounter is that the fixed header partially or fully covers my post and section titles. Is there a way to add an offset = height of header bar. And can I add that directly to the custom css section, or do I need some Jquery code? * Thanks Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/) * (@peterfeatherstone-1) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8978633) * Hey there, * There is no way to do it with the plugin but you can just add a top margin or padding to the body element that matches the height of the header bar (thats what I do on my site). * Peter * Thread Starter [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/) * (@hanshank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8978671) * Hey Peter, * I’m aware that the padding/margin-top code will work, but that pushes my content down, which is not my desired outcome. * I guess I will have to find some jquery method. * Thanks anyways * [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/) * (@peterfeatherstone-1) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8979171) * Hi there, * Im confused. If you push the body down that will push titles and content which is what you need. * You definetely dont need jquery for this. * What happened when you tried it so I can see? * Peter * Thread Starter [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/) * (@hanshank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8981462) * I see your point, and I thought the same… But that only pushes the body under the header when at the top of the page. When I press an anchor link, or a menu item with a link to a section of the page, it still doesn’t push the content UNDER the header. * Weird… * Thread Starter [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/) * (@hanshank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8981464) * I tried adding * body { padding-top: 80px; } * I’ve also tried using “margin”… but css doesn’t quite do it… No luck… * Here’s a clip I recorded that makes it easier to see what is going on: [https://youtu.be/uyCVa2L3h_g](https://youtu.be/uyCVa2L3h_g) - This reply was modified 9 years, 2 months ago by [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 2 months ago by [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/). * [Peter Featherstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterfeatherstone-1/) * (@peterfeatherstone-1) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8981510) * Hey there, * What about 100px or 120px, that doesn’t work either? * I can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t… * Peter * Thread Starter [hanshank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hanshank/) * (@hanshank) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-offset-to-scroll-for-fixed-mobile-header/#post-8981519) * I tried 120px just to see what would happen… And, it only made a white space between the header and the body appear.
