Hello, I understand that nancimurdock had her issue resolved, but can the resolution be placed here? I'm having the same problem where the footer widgets are not showing. I typically use Genesis Simple Edits, however, I had not even added the plugin before the issue occurred.

Thanks!

I know this is late in coming, but this may be useful for others that happen upon this question. This seems to occur only when you are logged into the back end of the site. If you log out, and then hover over the drop down menus, I believe you'll find that they are working fine. I don't think a fix has been made for this yet.

Hope this helps someone!

UPDATE: I figured it out. I was 2px off on the mandated size of 256x256 for the header. It caused WordPress to try and crop the GIF which effectively made it not work.

Perhaps someone will have the same questions and find this as their solution.

Thread closed.

Ani, you won't believe this, but it was a background issue, not a header issue!  The default background is set to white automatically in the CSS.  Once I changed it to black, everything was as it should be!!

Thanks again for ALL that help you tried to assist me with.

I submitted a ticket yesterday, but while waiting on that, I was hoping people could put their heads together and figure out what the heck is going on.

Thanks, Ani, for trying!  If I get a resolution through the ticket instead of here, I'll make sure to post it here as well 🙂

Oops, sorry Ani, I made a mistake and didn't switch out the repeat-y, but after doing so, I had the same effect.

Firebug reads:

}

#header {

    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-clip: border-box;
    background-color: #090909;
    background-image: url("http://theconvergencenc.com/wp-content/themes/outreach/images/header.png");
    background-origin: padding-box;
    background-position: center center !important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: auto auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
    min-height: 120px;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 100%;

}

CSS reads:

#header {
background: #090909 url(images/header.png) center no-repeat;
background-position: center !important;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 120px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}

Anti, this is what happened when I did what you mentioned:

With firebug reading:

#header {

    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-clip: border-box;
    background-color: #090909;
    background-image: url("http://theconvergencenc.com/wp-content/themes/outreach/images/header.png");
    background-origin: padding-box;
    background-position: center center !important;
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    background-size: auto auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
    min-height: 120px;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 100%;

}

And, the uploaded CSS reads:

#header {
background: #090909 url(images/header.png) center repeat-y;
background-position: center !important;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 120px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}

Sorry, about all the frustration, I know how you feel, but my God in heaven, thank you for trying! LOL

Does anyone in the forum tonight have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

[cccmedia]

Jen, thanks for replying. I tried this, and it did center the header but now there is white space on both sides.  The maintenance mode is no longer active and can be viewed.

Also, after centering the header, I thought perhaps just changing the width at that point would resolve it, but that had no effect and cache was cleared.

 

[cccmedia]

Yep, I did.  It was still exactly the same and cleared the cache prior to moving on to the header menu and removing it there.  I have no idea what's going on with this particular theme/issue.  Thank you SO much for trying to assist me.  I'll be taking up your suggesting and issuing a ticket.

Thanks!

I found on 183 a very similar string of code but not exact. It didn't read "center center" but did say #090909 center repeat-y.

I added the URL, and then clicked remove header image from header menu and it went back to no header or image on site.

[cccmedia]

It's back up for you, Ani!

[cccmedia]

I initially tried to add the image via the header menu.  It would not crop properly, so I used the same header.png file provided in the images and files and just dropped my logo on top of it, and then uploaded it via http://FTP.  When I select remove the header image from the header menu, it just removes the file I had uploaded via FTP.

The solution you originally suggested actually resolved the issue in the firebug console, but the code is nowhere to be find in the CSS.

[cccmedia]

Thank you for continuing to walk me through this, btw! But, now I have no image nor header at all.

[cccmedia]

I did initially until I realized that it wouldn't properly re-size the logo, so I manually added the image atop the header.png file and re-uploaded it.

Correction: Sorry I am using Firebug for the first time.  The live edit does reflect that it fixes the problem, but when I go into my style sheet and run the search for the same exact text I am seeing in firebug, it does not exist. I'm using Dreamweaver to edit the CSS.

 

[cccmedia]

Thanks for responding!  But, I removed the above mentioned text and nothing changed.  I cleared the cache, as well, just to be sure, but still no joy :/
