Showcase Pro – Home Page Transparent Header

[bradm413]

Is it possible to have the header remain transparent on the home page only if I have the following CSS changes in place?

.site-header,
.header-image .site-header {
	width: 100%;
	z-index: 999;
	padding: 2rem 0;
	position: relative;
	background: #cb3309;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 800px) {

	.site-header,
	.header-image .site-header {
		padding: 3rem 0 2.5rem;
		position: fixed;
		top: 0;
		left: 0;
		right: 0;
		background: #cb3309;
	}
}

Sorry, I don't have a live site available of this yet, but you can see the transparent header on the theme demo page:

In the original CSS, the code above has background set to transparent instead of the color I'm trying to change it to.

In the end, I'd like the header to be transparent on the home page only, then #cb3309 on every other page.

Thanks!

Try adding the body class for the front page. You can get this by inspecting the element or source code.

You're a genius! You saved me a lot of time and staring at my screen 😀

Here are the rules I ended up with, and they seem to do the trick:

.site-header,
.header-image .site-header {
	width: 100%;
	z-index: 999;
	padding: 2rem 0;
	position: relative;
	background: #cb3309;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 800px) {

	.site-header,
	.header-image .site-header {
		padding: 3rem 0 2.5rem;
		position: fixed;
		top: 0;
		left: 0;
		right: 0;
		background: #cb3309;
	}
}

/* keep transparent header on home page only */
.home .site-header,
.header-image .site-header {
	width: 100%;
	z-index: 999;
	padding: 2rem 0;
	position: relative;
	background: transparent;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 800px) {

	.home .site-header,
	.home .header-image .site-header {
		padding: 3rem 0 2.5rem;
		position: fixed;
		top: 0;
		left: 0;
		right: 0;
		background: transparent;
	}
}
