 * Hi, great job with this theme.
    In my implementation the headings have a top 
   margin and are not on exactly on top of each block. When I click the anchors 
   in the menu, triggering smooth scrolling, it stops just on the header position,
   making them look glued to the menu. I would like to subtract an offset to the
   scroll destination so the margin above the headings would be visible. Do you 
   have any suggestion on how make that work?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@maikpt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maikpt/),
 * Glad you like it! It’s a bit difficult without seeing the page, but from your
   description, it sounds like you could add HTML blocks before the headings and
   add a `<a id="#location"></a>` element to it. You’d then point the menu items
   to the `#location` id, and the scroll should take you to above the top margin
   of the heading.
