Product Theme, Site Load and Site Name

I am using WPMU 2.9.2, and I switched to the Product Theme to see how it would look on my site. However, when I switched to this theme, my site takes awhile to load and I am having an issue with the Site name overlapping over the navigation. I have attached a screenshot of the overlap.

    I actually know why the page loads slow. I forgot about this because I had an issue with another theme and forgot to bring it up. This may not happen for everyone’s site, but for some reason, I need to comment out wp_footer() in the footer.php file. So, that is one mystery solved.

    @joshmac: I’m not sure why you are getting that issue have you got a break before the title name or a style that is conflicting which you’ve created? Perhaps can you provide a link to see.

    It worries me a little that you can’t include wp_footer that means there is something in your output that is wrong / causing issues from wordpress. You should never have to not include wp_footer.

    @joshmac: hmm not sure you may want to change the #header h1 style to have less padding or float left – I also noticed:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mulyoo.com/wp-content/themes/edu-clean/global-adminbar.php" type="text/css" media="screen" /><br />

    Why are you calling that theme also? It shouldn’t by default do that no, it should sit nicely can you try using the default theme style of grey and without widgets / scripts incase something is impacting perhaps and we can pick it off one by one.

    I’ve noticed you’ve done some css edits and I think what you are doing with padding on the header is causing this but by doing a float ‘could’ resolve it for instance I don’t get an issue in the original code with:

    #header h1 {

    padding:50px 0 20px;

    text-align:left;

    }

    #header h1 a {

    font-size:60px;

    font-weight:normal;

    }

    I think you might have found something that I forgot about. edu-clean is being called up because I needed to delete something from mu-plugins. I haven’t done any edits to this theme, what you see is what was there when I installed it. I will check out the padding to see if that resolves my issue. Thanks for your help.
