I am glad to hear the hamburger menu is working for you!  You can try modifying the max-width property as well to see if that works, but you will also need to rework the code to apply to both header rows to make them the same width.

I revisited the code I gave you previously and added some more specificity which should only affect the header section containing the hamburger menu.

@media (max-width: 991px) {
    .row > .header-7 {
        margin-top: -59px;
    }
}

Hopefully that code gives you the design you need, but please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hi djwaldow,

Thank you for contacting us and we are happy to answer any questions you have about working with your website!

One possible explanation for the design bug in your hamburger menu could be related to using the same color multiple times in your Color Palette settings.  The color used for that icon is dictated by the color selection in the fourth slot of your palette and the header background color is the fifth one, so if they have the same color assignment then that is likely the cause.

The easiest way to change that behavior is to use custom CSS code and this will allow you to use any color value you want for the hamburger icon.  The following CSS snippet sets the default color for the hamburger icon to the same blue used for the button border, but you can change the value to any hexcode you desire.

.palette-primary .navbar-default .navbar-toggle .icon-bar {
    background-color: #85abf6;
}

The header template in the Cobalt theme puts your menu and site branding on separate grid rows at screen sizes smaller than 992 pixels to account for the expansion of the mobile menu when clicked.  If you would like both to appear on the same line for smaller screen sizes then we can use custom CSS again to make that design change.  The following snippet adds a negative margin to the top of your menu area equal to the height of your site branding so that both show on the same row for smaller screens.

@media (max-width: 991px) {
    .header-7 {
        margin-top: -59px;
    }
}

I hope that these snippets help you achieve the design you are looking for and please let us know if there is anything else that we can do to assist you.

Thank you for your feature idea skipfoot!  I have created a GitHub issue with our development team to consider this idea for a future release.  You can also subscribe to that thread to get updates on this feature as soon as they occur!

Hi Kevin, glad you were able to get that sorted out!  If you ever need anything else the future please do not hesitate to ask, we are always happy to help!

Thank you for contacting us, our team is happy to answer any questions you have about working with BoldGrid on your website.

The way to add social media icons to your menus is to use the Custom Link option in the list of available items.  BoldGrid themes will automatically detect which URL is used for the link and supply the appropriate social media icon based on that.

Our theme framework is able to determine the appropriate icon for most of the major social media sites, but occasionally there are some it cannot find.  We also have some documentation on how to add your own custom icons for sites the framework can't detect correctly.


I hope this helps you get your social media menus working as expected and please let us know if there is anything else that we can do to assist you.

Thank you for contacting us.

The best way to give other users access to your website without providing them with your own credentials is to create a new Administrator user for them with the Users item in your website's Dashboard.

While setting up their account make sure to select Administrator from the Role dropdown menu to give them the access they need to your Dashboard.

Once they are finished with their work you can quickly remove their user account from the list of All Users.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions and we will do all we can to answer them.

Thank you for contacting us.


I am sorry to hear about the problems with the Preflight Check and our team is happy to help in as best we can.


Based on the report you provided it looks like the check is failing because your website's main directory is not writable and the file permissions will need to be updated on the server to accomplish this.  I recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to help get this changed since they will have all of the access required to make the appropriate modifications.


Thank you for letting us know about the 'Making your web hosting account compatible...' link as well.  I have informed our developers of this and a fix should be rolling out for it in an upcoming release.

I hope that you are able to get the permissions on your directories changed and please let us know if there is anything else that we can do to help.

Thank you for contacting us, we are happy to help in any way we can.

Generally the cause of this particular problem is a conflict with another plugin installed on your website and most likely it is related to one that tries to add more features to the content editing interface.

I recommend trying to systematically deactivate any non-BoldGrid plugins that add things like galleries, sliders, or even contact forms to see which one is the source of the conflict.

I hope that helps you get your page editing tools working and please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Paul,


I am sorry to hear about the problems with your menus, I know how frustrating it can be when something doesn't work as expected.

Unfortunately the dropdown menu functionality only works for the menu assigned to the Primary Menu location.  The other menu locations in our Inspirations themes were intended to be used for smaller submenus and are designed to show all items as expanded inline lists.

The quickest solution is to find an Inspirations theme that has the header design you want and switch to that.  However I have reached out to our development team to see if there is any kind of custom function that we can create that will add the dropdown features to your secondary menu location.

Thank you for your understanding and I hope to hear back from them soon.
