Thanks,
It just spooked me a bit. Turns out I was able to do the “edit” without worrying about permissions. I uploaded and am now displaying this new header I created for our 3 week old site. http://www.coloradonewhomespecialists.com/
For being so new to this I think it looks OK. Will continue to tweak more, however.
Turns out that making the header look right was way harder than getting Thesis to display it. I’m liking this “little blogging engine that could.”

Next, Dropdowns.

Thanks Again,
Greg

Greg --- I'm not sure if changing the permissions of that file is necessary; I'd say you only need to go out of your way to change it if you can't edit the file from the Thesis Custom File Editor. It's located at /wp-content/themes/thesis_17/custom/custom_functions.php in the root folder of your WordPress installation.

Kristarella,
What a great resource you have provided here. I am most appreciative of your talents and willingness to share information.
I have a question please. I am running Thesis 1.7. and was watching a video on using hooks. This video’s example was with Thesis 1.6, and the author of the video said to first change permissions of the custom functions PHP file to a value of 777 within the WP install on the host side BEFORE before editing the custom functions PHP on the WP admin side.
Two questions please.
1 Is changing permissions also required in Thesis 1.7, or is that old school?
2. Where in the world is that file on the host side of a 1.7 install. I simply cannot find it anywhere!

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Russell --- I think you can with the CSS in the comment on my other nav post. You essentially just need to change the absolute position of the dropdown.

Kristarella, Is there any way to take what the tutorial above and make sub-menus pop out to the right? I have a vertical menu in the right sidebar and the sub-menus pop out down over the other menu items which looks bad. Your post is the closest on the web I have found to changing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not super experienced with code as am fairly new to Thesis and web coding as well.
