Genesis 2.0.1 Upgrade Changed my Header?

[tpaulwhite]

Hi - I just upgrade to Genesis 2.0.1 using the News theme. When I did this, it changed the background of my header

You will notice that the red subnav bar maintained it's size, width and color - the only that that change was a " "/v " above it - not sure where this came from?

Also - the header had a full width white background that disappeared when I upgraded to Genesis 2.0.1 - it the same width as the red subnav bar, just below it. Now it has the same background as the wrap. I would like it to return to a full width, white background.

Can you please help me fix these two issues - they are directly related to the upgrade to Genesis 2.0.1 - I had put some code at the bottom of my style sheet to make the full width, so you may find some that conflicts there.

I really appreciate the help!

The random text is coming from your All in One Webmaster plugin - the Google site verification code has an extra " /> at the end.

To fix your header, remove the header image from Appearance > Header and add the following to your stylesheet:

#header {
background: #ffffff url(http://xohawaii.com/wp-content/themes/news/images/header.png) no-repeat !important;

Let me know if that doesn't fix the problem.

Thank you - I followed your instructions. I had to disable All in One Webmaster because teh "/> appeared to be hardcoded and I could not change it. Any ideas here in case I want to use it again later?

The header issue was partially fixed - it definitely returned my full width white space, but it added the site title and tagline on top of my header image. Can you please tell me how to address this?

You can look at the site to see the issue http://www.xohawaii.com

Okay, stay with me here. There are a couple of steps to get rid of the text but I promise they aren't hard. 🙂

In functions.php, remove the custom header function. It should look like this:

/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 
	'width'	=> 960, 
	'height'	=> 110 
) );

That will take away the option for Appearance > Header.

Then go into your Genesis theme settings and you should have a new dropdown to choose either dynamic text or image logo. Pick image logo and save your settings; the text title and description should go away. If they don't, let me know.

Me Too! After my upgrade to Genesis 2.01 the header color changed from #9BB449 to white. I have a basic understanding of CSS and PHP but this is deeper than I get. The site I'm working on is Freddiebell.com. I can see that the theme was created by adding additional CSS lines to the http://freddiebell.com/wp-content/themes/FreddieBell/style.css?ver=2.0.1 file. This is a Firebug screenshot which gave me that path: http://screencast.com/t/Cz6StyrIbZj6. In the CSS window it shows 3 statements around the header format. If I disable the second one the green comes back. But the path for the second line is just freddiebell.com #2 and I don't understand where that comes from.

Hope it's something simple!
Thanks

In your case, you can return the green to your header by doing the following:

(1) Remove your header image under Appearance > Header.

(2) Add this to your stylesheet:

#header {
background: ##9bb449 url(http://freddiebell.com/wp-content/themes/FreddieBell/images/header.png) no-repeat !important;
}

Let me know if that doesn't work.

I was thinking I had to go find it elsewhere in the stylesheet. Didn't think about just tacking that onto the end. Thanks Andrea that worked fine!
