 * Hi, I’m using Twenty Twenty and Options (page editor Elementor). Even though 
   i select “transparent header” box, the header remains a solid white background….
   Also how can I reduce the size of both the header and footers? I’ve used all 
   the sliders in Options to minimum setting on everything, but both still are huge
   massive white boxes using lots of page real estate.
 * Would it be better to deactive Elementor and use the Twenty Twenty theme right
   sidebar panel?? (I’ve read about this in few threads, amongst the tons of threads
   I’ve been searching and reading for help with this theme, various plugins to 
   help w header footer size in Twenty Twenty, pro version Elementor, etc)
    TIA 
   for help

 * Hello,
 * Please provide a link to your website so we can see why your header isn’t transparent
   and your header / footers are still large.
 * If this is not possible, please confirm if deactivating your plugins resolves
   the issues. Please also confirm if you are running the original theme or if you
   have modified the theme at all?
 * Thank you,
 * Oliver

 * Hi Oliver,
    Good news- header now transparent! Sizing footer width & area is 
   still issue (& if our team does not wish a transparent header, then header sizing
   is issue). Perhaps overnight platform refreshes helped clear up transparency 
   issue- I’m a newbie.
 * I’m running a child theme of Twenty Twenty (used plugin: Child Theme Configurator).
   I deactivated Elementor & Twentig plugin I was testing to get site back to baseline.(
   To create an ElementorPro template is more complicated & time needed than I have).
 * In Options plugin, settings on sliders are set to minimum padding. I’ve tried
   adding CSS code for margin and paddings, copied from threads in forum, but these
   CSS mods do not affect the header /footer size. [https://dev.castlerock.coloradodar.org/](https://dev.castlerock.coloradodar.org/)
   Also, am using the field “powered by WP” for our copyright statement, and need
   to reduce its font size way down; suggestions how-to?
    Thanks for your help!

 * OK, so that’s good news with regards to the header transparency. If the header
   sizing becomes a problem then let us know and we will look into it.
 * Although Child Themes are supported, we created this plugin specifically so as
   not to require a child theme to modify the theme. Using a child theme means that
   future releases of the parent theme may not be compatible with your child theme.
   Furthermore, if you make changes to the child theme (or parent theme) that impact
   on the hooks, classes, structure, etc of the theme that our plugin uses for the
   various options then you run the risk of these features not working.
 * With regards to third party plugins and compatibility with the Twenty Twenty 
   theme, you will need to speak to the relevant developers about those issues.
 * Can you please be very specific with regards to what you are trying to achieve
   on your site’s footer? It may be that we can create a new option for you to handle
   this.
 * To change the font size of the “Powered by WordPress” area you can add this CSS
   into “Customizer – Additional CSS” …
 *     ```
       .powered-by-wordpress {
       font-size: 1.5rem;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps, if so we will add an option to change the size of this font.

 * That’s good news thanks. Will look to add this as an option in the plugin and
   will update this thread accordingly.
