I am trying to have the navigation bar on Bedford be fixed. How can I make that happen?

I came up with one solution for this so far, I have added this to the Custom CSS Editor and it seems to be working:

header#header { position: fixed }

Another update. Just noticed that as long as youre not using transparent header the header stays fixed. If you use transparent header, on pages where the header is transparent it will not be fixed. This works for me but for some they may want it to stay fixed.

Worked great for locking the navigation header to the top when scrolling. Thanks!

I have applied this to my Bedford template b/c I would like a fixed nav bar on all pages, but for some strange reason, it is covering more of the banner image than it does when there is no fixed nav code. Any ideas on how to adjust the code so it does not cover any of the banner image?

Thanks!

Might need to add the Important declaration:

header#header { position: fixed !important;}

You can use this code to keep the banner height size:

.view-list .banner-thumbnail-wrapper,
.collection-type-page .banner-thumbnail-wrapper,
.collection-type-index .banner-thumbnail-wrapper {
 margin-top: 100px; /* nav bar height */
}

It's from this article, Thanks to isabellemt

There's another layer to this you probably haven't found yet... because you won't until you do this properly. Here's a good method:

header { position: fixed !important; width: 100% !important; }

Once you have a nice fixed header, you'll soon discover that the hamburger menu duplicates itself with a slight overlay after you scroll partway down the page. You'll also have issues with the mobile nav appearing skewed. Infuriating. Kill it thusly:

.fix-header-nav .mobile-nav-toggle-label.fixed-nav-toggle-label { visibility: hidden !important; }.back-to-top { display: none !important;}

@jcuvdb this works great on my banner images, but when I am using a slideshow banner, the top nav bar is still cutting off the top portion of the banner, so my slideshow is not centered and undesirable cropping is occurring. Any tips on how to fix this problem with the slideshow banner?

@varresa, I love your site! Question, on the blog section, you are using a slideshow banner, with the fixed nav bar, how did you get the slideshow banner to remain uncropped? Right now my slideshow banners are starting at the very top of the page, so the nav bar is covering the top portion of the slideshow banner. How did you fix this issue?

Hi Team @squareology

I'm able to fix the text but is there a way of putting a block colour underneath the text like https://sustainableharvest.squarespace.com because at the moment when the navigation bar scrolls over the pages, you sometimes can't see it.

Thanks!

Nathan's solution works really well for me but our h1 page headings (we don't have a banner at the top of every page) are overlapped by the fixed navigation. Is there any suggested solution for this?

Thanks!

Same issue as @sarahC - any possible way to prevent it from overlapping? Thanks!

@Sam Shay The first code you provided to keep the header fixed works great. However, I also entered this code to fix the navigation bar duplicating on mobile:.fix-header-nav .mobile-nav-toggle-label.fixed-nav-toggle-label { visibility: hidden !important; } .back-to-top { display: none !important;}Unfortunately, it didn't change anything on mobile for me. I'm still getting the skewed mobile nav as I scroll down the website homepage. Do you know what could be going wrong?

Had the same issue, found a solution:

.sqs-gallery-design-strip img { padding-top: 130px; }

Just change the padding to whatever the height of your nav menu is to match.

I know this is an old thread haha, but i'm having issues with the navbar still overlapping banner in the blog posts. Do you have an idea on how to fix this?
