Logo at left and social icons at the right in DailyDish Pro

Radha asks,

how can I get the title-area to float to the left & be smaller (right now it’s getting 1120px from somewhere) & the social icons to float to the right? On mobile the logo should be stacked on top of social icons – all nice & centered.

When it comes to logos and headers in WordPress, inline is the way to go in my opinion, not background images.

Here’s a screencast of the result after implementing the following steps:

Step 1

Upload the logo/header image to child theme’s images directory using a FTP client or cPanel file manager.

Step 2

Edit DailyDish Pro’s functions.php.

Comment out or delete

unregister_sidebar( 'header-right' );

Add this near the end:

add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'custom_header_inline_logo', 10, 3 );
function custom_header_inline_logo( $title, $inside, $wrap ) {

$logo = '<img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/siteHeader.jpg" alt="' . esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ) . '" width="510" height="130" />';

$inside = sprintf( '<a href="%s" title="%s">%s</a>', trailingslashit( home_url() ), esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ), $logo );

// Determine which wrapping tags to use - changed is_home to is_front_page to fix Genesis bug
$wrap = is_front_page() && 'title' === genesis_get_seo_option( 'home_h1_on' ) ? 'h1' : 'p';

// A little fallback, in case an SEO plugin is active - changed is_home to is_front_page to fix Genesis bug
$wrap = is_front_page() && ! genesis_get_seo_option( 'home_h1_on' ) ? 'h1' : $wrap;

// And finally, $wrap in h1 if HTML5 & semantic headings enabled
$wrap = genesis_html5() && genesis_get_seo_option( 'semantic_headings' ) ? 'h1' : $wrap;

return sprintf( '<%1$s %2$s>%3$s</%1$s>', $wrap, genesis_attr( 'site-title' ), $inside );

}

// Remove the site description
remove_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'genesis_seo_site_description' );

where siteHeader.jpg is the name of logo/header image present in DailyDish Pro’s images directory and 510 x 130 being its dimensions.

Step 3

At Appearance > Widgets, drag Simple Social Icons plugin’s widget into Header Right widget area.

Step 4

Add this in style.css:

.site-header {
	text-align: left;
	padding: 40px 0;
}

.title-area {
	float: left;
}

.site-title {
	margin-bottom: 0;
}

.header-widget-area {
	float: right;
	padding-top: 30px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
	.site-header {
		text-align: center;
	}
	.title-area,
	.header-widget-area {
		float: none;
	}
	.header-widget-area .simple-social-icons ul.alignleft {
		text-align: center;
		float: none;
	}
	.header-widget-area .simple-social-icons ul li {
		float: none;
		display: inline-block;
	}
}
