    I have been trying to get this to work for a long time -- I posted here previously and made changes on that basis, but it is still evading me. I 've experimented with endlessly with the theme customization screens and custom css on the child theme, but still come up short.

    At this point I realize I may have to pay somebody to sort this out for me, but I thought it was worth one more try.

    If you compare the site as it is now and then look at what I'm trying to achieve, here maybe something terribly obvious I've missed will jump out at you.

    Note: in the lower right you're seeing two widgets, one with the random quotation plugin, the other plain text.

    Heya,

    This can be done with some CSS and a new, transparent title (text) image, perhaps some additional detailing.

    Mine:

    .site-header  {
    	background: url("http://keypresswp.com/themetest/wp-content/uploads/2015/unsplash-00227-1600.jpg");
    	background-size: cover;
    	padding: 20px;
    }
    
    .quotescollection-quote p,
    .site-header .wrap {
    	background: transparent;
    }

    Yours:

    Tom!!

    Thank you. THANK you. I knew it had to be fairly straight forward but I just couldn't make it happen.
