I followed the exact steps you mentioned above but my heading isn’t appearing. Do I need to “Enable” the button at the bottom of these 3 boxes?
@mventures How’s this ?
To achieve this look
Save
admin/appearance/customise#custom-css[data-widget-area="brand-header"] {
display: contents;
}
.tagline {
position: relative;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Save
@mventures Yes, you need to enable all three - Custom CSS/LESS, Custom Javascript, and Custom Header - for example, below
I enabled the 3 buttons and on the main, I can see something appearing below the icons but it was cut off/hidden. See the screenshot below:
So, I took a gamble and decided to play with spacing on the CSS window. I have zero idea as to how CSS works. Anyways, I changed the number on TOP to “150 px”. That showcased my header as below and it was following me up & down the page also.
Changed the TOP number to 80:
Got the position right but it’s covering the “Categories” field 
Also, my actual heading (which I have in the Custom Header window) appeared for a few seconds only before reverting to “Your Title”. So, I replaced the “Your Text” field in the Custom Javascript window with the exact sentence from the Custom Header window. That fixed it! But wondering why is there a need to add the header title in 2 windows.
Anyways, now I need to figure out how to (1) stop the banner from following the page scroll (2) How to place it above the Categories label, so it’s not hidden.
@mventures That code you have is very bespoke, and designed for v2. If you upgrade to v3, it won’t work anymore without significant modification (which I do not support as it’s dropped completely in v3)
@phenomlab Oh, I see. I can see the banner still on my website after the upgrade but it’s completely left-justified and cut off at the beginning of the bar. So, do you recommend, I don’t have an introduction bar at all? I just wanted something up at the top, that tells people what the site is about. If I have to get a designer to do some custom work, what kind of person should I look for - UI designer, CSS stylist?
@mventures My recommendation here would be to have an “about” page for this sort of stuff. Keep the site layout to a minimum. You don’t need a designer - I can help you with that.
@phenomlab
(1) I think there should be 1 banner right above the categories just like the one you have. Basically, a phrase/tagline as to what the site is about.
(2) Yes, ABOUT page is one of the pages I would like, and I can see you have grouped it under the “link”/paperclip symbol on the top menu. I am trying to figure out how you got that in the first place.

Be careful with this one. The text is being added via Javascript so crawlers will not see this content anyway - in essence, it’s cosmetic for the user. You’d be better placed having a well-worded about page that explains everything.

You can add that using the navigation settings shown below
/admin/settings/navigation
Again, this is for v2, and has changed in v3.
I’d recommend you have a look around https://sudonix.dev for inspiration. Registration is disabled, as this is a test site and not for public access, so let me know if you’d like access and I’ll create you an account.
@phenomlab
(1) That’s right, it’s purely cosmetic and not for SEO/crawlers.
(2) For the ABOUT page in the top menu link:
I just checked the NAVIGATION in V3 and can see the exact settings as seen on your screenshot. So, I toggled the DROPDOWN to ON and added the line:
<li><a href=“/about> About </a></li>
Nothing appeared on the page.
Is this because of what you mentioned about V3 being different to V2?
(3) Sudonix.dev: You mean access to the ACP to see how you’ve set it all up and I can just mirror those for my own site? If so, YES PLEASE! That would be super helpful for me. Thank you!
@mventures
UPDATE
I placed this script in the GLOBAL HEADER widget, a remake of the existing Footer class script 
<header id="header" class="container header">
<div>
<a target="_blank" href="https://MYSITE.COM/about">About</a> |
<a target="_blank" href="https://MYSITE.COM/meetups">Meetups</a> |
</div>
</header>
And I got the below:
Not exactly the dropdown Menu Link you have, but it serves the purpose for now

Be careful what you alter, as you’ve changed the behaviour of the categories page so now it does this
The way this works is as below
You drag the custom route to the navbar
Select an icon
Enable the dropdown, and add the code
Save
Reload the page, and you’ll see an additional menu created

No, an account that has access to the site so you can see how it is laid out. No access to the ACP is granted, because it isn’t needed.
@phenomlab I shall go through this tomorrow and check what the issue on Categories is about, although I can’t see any issue at my end on Chrome and Safari.
By the way, how do you upload a full-length image/photo onto a page like what you have on the ABOUT page?

You won’t do now as I rectified it
@phenomlab Oh wow! Thanks again, so much! I can see the page menu in the “down” arrow on the left navigation bar now.
How do I get that one small tagline bar up at the top, perhaps next to the logo, as its a white blank space, since the menu is to the left now? I can create a JPG/PNG image of my statement which can be loaded there. If that’s a bad idea, then something I can type up there.
@mventures I think I know what you’re after, but could you explain and clarify? Perhaps a mock-up sketch would help.
@phenomlab Here is an example of what I meant:
Basically, having the tagline in the header, where the logo is.
The tagline can be a JPEG banner that I can create and upload or it can be a text that can appear there.
@mventures You could achieve this effect with a :psuedo CSS class. Let me have a look at this
@mventures I forked this into it’s own topic as it deviates from the original thread.
