Hi! I'm loving studio theme so far. But something is creating a "black space" at my homepage between menu and community panel. I installed two versions of Buddy Press, but the space is still there. Please, which code can correct this? Thanks a lot!

Hi @ingridlima
I think that this caused by BuddyPress, Somehow it creates a 25px space in your dashboard and in this case in you theme as well.
To fix this just copy this in your themes function.php or put in a global plugin that I normally use to make it easier.
Here is the code:
You could change the px that suits you.
Enjoy, hope this will help you ;)

aecnu, unfortuntly I didn't solve the issue. Any way thanks @minglemooch. I tryed it in child-theme function, in PB funcions.php and the real theme, changed the numbers several times, but couldn't see the difference. Maybe it's here:

Greetings ingridlima,
Thank you for the additional input, it is greatly appreciated.
Wow the server seems extremely slow, maybe it is under heavy stress right now?
In addition, I get malware warnings when visiting the home page, screen shot below.
I have included a screen shot and it appears you have successfully removed the band and resolved the original blank graphic spot?
Please advise.
Cheers, Joe

Thanks to let me know that. I contacted my server, the thread was removed.
No, the blank space is still there. :(

Greetings ingridlima,
Thank you for having the malware removed and for letting m know the space still exists.
I have found in my opinion why one space exists, it is because of the statement highlighted in my screen shot below i.e.
<li class="left"> </li>Now the trick is to find it in the themes code ....
Which I have in the panel.php file around line 29 which you will want to remove.
The path to the panel.php file is as follows:
/wp-content/themes/studio/library/components/panel.php
Please advise if this indeed fixes this issue.
Cheers, Joe

Greetings ingridlima,
Booo! We are indeed talking about the space right above the "Hello and Community" correct?
I will have to call in the lead developer soon unless I am working on the wrong space ... lol
Please advise.
Cheers, Joe

You are so right about that, it's always good to make it visual, so here a screenshot with the space I'm talking about inside a red box. thanks a lot!

In your Studio Css file you can change
#toppanel{to this:Will this help? Seems to have been fixed in my test :)

Thanks Kimberly! Actually I just had to re size my image to 80 × 46 and worked, if I tried any bigger size a space will come out determined by the image size. I think this was made for a certain logo height. I would like to leave this as a suggestion for theme update (in case this isn't just with me), cause tinny logos is not good for branding.
