 * Hi Guys,
 * Apologies if this has been brought up before. Nothing concrete seemed to be coming
   up in a google search.
 * Is there any way of fixing the header / menu in the Twenty Eleven theme so it
   remains at the top of the page regardless of what content is underneath ? – Example
   would be the old use of HTML frames etc…
 * Cheers,
 * Paul.

 * Yes, you would likely need to use [fixed positioning in the CSS](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp)
   code for that section of the page. Do you have a child theme set up or custom
   CSS plug-in — that would be the first step as you do not want to make changes
   to theme files.

 * I’m experimenting with child themes at the moment.
 * You wouldn’t know exactly what code needs to be changed, would you ?

 * Not without seeing the site live (with the child theme or custom CSS set up).

 * The site can be found at: [http://www.themysterytosleep.me.uk/](http://www.themysterytosleep.me.uk/)
 * The child theme has been setup at:
 * [http://www.themysterytosleep.me.uk/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/twentyeleven-child/style.css](http://www.themysterytosleep.me.uk/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/twentyeleven-child/style.css)
 * Ignore the added CSS, that’s just me experimenting at the moment.

 * Paul.

 * You don’t have a child theme activated on that site — you need to do that first.

 * Should be active now.
 * Was following a tutorial that suggested putting the theme within the original
   theme folder rather than the parent. – Make no wonder it wasn’t working 🙂
 * So, if you can offer any suggestions it would be appreciated.
 * Cheers,
 * Paul.

 * Try just changing the position to fixed here:
 *     ```
       #branding {
           border-top: 2px solid #BBBBBB;
           padding-bottom: 10px;
           position: fixed;
           z-index: 9999;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then you may need to adjust some other things but that’s the main piece.

 * Yeah, that appears to be on the right track. Just need to get my head around 
   CSS positioning and the right parts to modify…
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Are you using Firebug? It’s by far the best way to work with CSS – shows you 
   all the info in a snap and lets you test changes out.
