    Hi Pratam,
    For your first and third issue, paste the following code in your custom css
    Appearance -> theme options -> styling options -> custom css
    Code:
    .header-info {
    display: none;
    }
    .flex-caption {
    background: hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0.3);
    }
    For your second issue:
    a) If you want to change the color of footer area then paste the following code in your custom css
    Code:
    .footer-wrapper {
    background: blue;
    }
    .footer {
    background: blue;
    }
    inplace of 'blue' you can put your required color or color code.

    b) If you want to edit the text "join us on facebook" in the footer widget area then go to the sidebar-footer.php file(Theme directory -> sidebar-footer.php) and follow the instruction shown in the image given below
    [​IMG]
    You will not get theme directory in your dashboard.
    You can edit sidebar-footer.php file through FTP.
    Open your Theme directory (through FTP)
    Download sidebar-footer.php file from there, Edit it, Then again upload it.


    For your fourth issue, go to the General setting panel(Settings ->General ) in the dashboard and follow the instruction shown in the image given below

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your help!

    I am also having a spacing issue with the widgets inside the footer. See attached image. How can I correct this.

    I would like to have my logo in the center and of the header and place a background color in the header.

    If i want to change the color of my nav menu to a custom color how can i do this?

    Thanks

    For the spacing issue in the footer widget area, go to the sidebar-footer.php file in the theme directory and edit the file as shown in the image given below
    [​IMG]

    For the logo issue and background issue, go to the header.php file in the theme directory and edit the file as shown in the image given below
    [​IMG]

    now,
    Paste this code in Custom CSS
    Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS
    Code:
    .header .logo {
    text-align: center;
    margin-bottom: 40px;
    }
    .header {
    overflow: hidden;
    background: teal;
    }
    For the color issue in navigation menu, paste this code in Custom CSS
    Code:
    .menu_wrapper {
    background: blue;
    }
    This will solve your issue.

    Thanks.

    For the bottom footer color change, paste this code in Custom CSS

    this will solve your bottom footer color issue.

    Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.

    For your first issue, paste the following code in your custom css
    Appearance -> theme options -> styling options -> custom css
    Code:
    .flex-caption h1 a {
    color:blue;
    }
    .flex-caption p {
    color:red;
    }
    Inplace of red and blue you can put your required color or color code.

    For your second issue, Go to the theme directory and open the header.php file and edit the code as shown in the image given below.

    Paste this code in Custom CSS
    Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS
    Code:
    #menu li.current_page_item a {
    margin-left: 200px;
    }
    Adjust the value of margin-left.

    NOTE: If you will add more pages(menu) then you will need to adjust the value of this margin-left again .
