Hi there,  
I am using a theme in RW that has the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. If I activate the in-built RW privacy message, it ends up behind the navigation bar and so is inaccessible. I currently use a stack to get around the issue but would prefer to keep it simple and use in the in-built privacy message.  
Is it possible to force the message to appear at the top of the page?  
Thanks, Liam

Hi @LiamD,

There isn’t a built-in setting to move the privacy notice around on the page. All the privacy related settings can be viewed [here](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/classic-docs/user-manual/features/privacy).

It might be possible to move it around with some custom CSS, but we would need a link to your website to see and test.

Hi @differentdan,  
Thank you for getting back to me.  
I was thinking that custom CSS might be the answer, although I don’t know what I’m doing with CSS!  
This is the site: [https://pushingthewave.co.uk](https://pushingthewave.co.uk)  
Thanks, Liam

Hey @LiamD,

Do you have the built-in privacy notice activated? I’m not seeing it in your page source code.

Hi @differentdan,  
No, I don’t, because it sticks up from behind the navigation bar, which doesn’t look so good.  
However, I have just reactivated it so you can see it, and the source code.

@LiamD

Try adding this to RapidWeaver’s Global Settings \>\> Code \>\> CSS section

```auto
#rapidweaver_privacy_message {	
	    top: 0 !important;
}

```

Publish and test the site. Let us know if it works across all pages and on different devices.

Thank you for that.

Interestingly, on my test, adding the CSS made the privacy message fill the whole window. (I tried to attach a screenshot but it wouldn’t let me.) I haven’t published it like that!

@LiamD

Hrm looked like this when I did it

 ![move-privacy-banner](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/6/86159c43b235fbeeb97a20a71ec401cbf45a92bd.jpeg)

Maybe you have to add the whole CSS block.

Unfortunately, it didn’t make any difference. Still filling the window, even with all the code. Is it possible to specify a height?  
Thanks, Liam

Possibly, ~~but looks like you disabled the privacy notice again so I can’t play around with it to test.~~

You could try to add a height property with some value like 50px to test and see what happens. Also maybe the top property doesn’t need the !important rule at the end. Try without it too.

If that doesn’t work I’d need the theme you are using so I could test with it locally.

Sorry, it didn’t work! The same issue.  
I have republished with the notice activated again.  
The theme I am using is Phaedra. Would you like me to send it to you somehow?  
By the way, I really do appreciate you taking the time to look at this.  
Thanks, Liam

You can, it might be good to ask the theme developer too. I tried to find who made the Phaedra theme, but I can’t find it online. Do you remember the theme developer who sold you that theme?

Yes, its by Archetypon. It was on here ([Archetypon](http://archetypon.net/rapidweaver/)) but it’s not on the available themes list anymore.

I see looking at the manual ([https://archetypon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/201047225-Phaedra](https://archetypon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/201047225-Phaedra)) that it was released quite some time ago!

I will contact the developer to see if he has any ideas.
