Trying to modify wordpress template - wordpress

I often get stuck when it comes to wordpress as I'm used to being able to move everything around. Below is my domain name and shows the responsive theme that I'm trying to modify:
http://govansoven.co.uk/
Now I want to make the header full width and keep the container at 960px so I planned to simply move the outside of the container div. However I can't find the file that shows this code. I can't see it within the editor of wordpress (i've checked the obvious ones index.php, header.php etc) So will it be hidden with the FTP?

the container will probably be in page.php

I wanted to know how this design is done on wordpress

I was learning wordpress and I came to this site where find this
this image screen short is from a website
the screen short is from https://www.whitehatjr.com/ if you scrolled down that site you'll get that area
I was wondering if this block is a image, whenever you put your mouse over that title at the end of the the line it has a hove effect.
Is CSS applied over each section of that image or the entire thing can be created with wordpress?
This thing was created by applying css for each block. http://i.imgur.com/JIFfSFX.png . For creating something like this you need to create some custom solution for wp.

WordPress - manage logo to left of menu bar

I'm a developer but I don't know wordpress well and I have just inherited a wordpress site. There's a missing logo image at the top left next to the menu bar:
I have the image file but I cannot find where that logo/image is configured inside WP. I have gone into the Menus section many times -- I find the menu items but I cannot find where that image is configured. So I need to know where/how to configure that, and also how to make the image size "fixed". By default, when the image was there (before I accidentally deleted it somehow), it stretches/expands when the user scrolls down.
My client is using the "Divi Builder" template, and this template uses some kind of custom layout/template for managing and editing the page.
The Divi theme is being used and here's what it looks like inside theme customization:
So in summary:
Where/how can I find that image setup so I can fix the src to point to the correct image that I have?
How can I prevent its default behavior of expanding while scrolling down?
Thanks!
For logo settings:
Goto dashboard->appearence->divi theme option->Generl settings.
other settings
Support Docs-> Read divi theme documention
The Divi theme is a commercial theme and don't expect people on SO to have access to it. It's best to go to https://www.elegantthemes.com/forum/ for support.
"Where/how can I find that image setup so I can fix the src to point to
the correct image that I have?"
The logo is uploaded and the URL set in theme options, not in the menu options.
"How can I prevent its default behavior of expanding while scrolling
down?"
This is a completely separate question and is a feature of the theme. Ask theme support how to disable it. Or isolate the Javascript and other code and put it in a Fiddle so people can see how it works.

Bxslider Ticker image spacing as a Wordpress plugin

I installed the BxSlider as a plugin for Wordpress and inserted the php script code to show above the footer on all pages.
The images scroll perfectly across the page except I'm trying to reduce the spacing between the images to show more than one image per transition.
To best explain the website shows as follows http://www.harvestoffalyfoodfestival.com/
How and where can I edit the html/css code to make these adjustments.
The slider settings within the plugin 'Slider Margin' doesn't have any effect when entering your option amount? Thanks
You will need to set a width on the bxslider container, as at the moment it's 100%.
Ideally we need to see more code, as this could also be a settings issue within bxslider.
Have you got your js settings for bxslider?

Making Room for Second Sidebar

I have the screwdriver wordpress theme installed on my site (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/screwdriver)
I made the necessary changes to my functions.php file, then created a sidebar-custom.php file, and now the new sidebar is showing up in my Wordpress account, but I was told that I now need to create space for the new sidebar in the theme layout.
I am told it takes a lot of layout redesign. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this? I want the newly-added sidebar to appear on the right side of page.
Looking at what I have, I'm assuming that I'll need to extend the width of gray field that shows in the back of my theme, then move the center "plate" where my posts reside, along with the "plates" on the left that hold the widgets. Then, I need to set the coding so that
My issue is, I don't know where to begin doing this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Am I correct in assuming that this change will need to be made in the index.php file?
Well it could depend on how you registered the sidebar, but...
Go into your theme folder and locate the best place to put it (perhaps at the bottom of header.php ?)
<?php dynamic_sidebar('yoursidebarname'); ?>
Refresh your site, find the CSS selector for the new sidebar, and modify style.css accordingly - you might want to float it to the right and resize the content area.
I'm not familiar with the Screwdriver theme so this may be totally wrong.

Modify wordpress site independently of theme

I am using a WordPress theme in a site. I want to edit the bottom of the page, replacing the WordPress default message and replace it with a custom message. The problem is, the change I want to make should be independent of the theme. I can change that editing footer.php using admin panel. Problem is, I do not want the changes to be reverted as soon as I change the theme. Can anyone suggest how to achieve that? Besides I want to remove the WordPress logo, too.
This isn't the way wordpress works I am afraid.
Anything that is tied to the database (posts, pages etc etc) will remain from theme to theme, but any changes you make to the theme files directly (editing default footer text) are tied to not just that theme, but those specific files. If you change the theme, or update the theme to a new version, your changes will be lost.
You are editing a file, and that file will no longer be in use when you switch theme.
You could use a plugin to create an overlay layer at the bottom of the page but this would be a fairly nasty solution and would be liable to appear differently when you change the theme.
Alternately, a plugin could be used to inject some javascript that modifies the footer but again, would depend on the theme as to what classes/IDs you'd be wanting to modify.
Basically this isn't something that's done!
