Thanks for the help but not quite. I am getting there gradually. I will make it.
Rich
gucuParticipantgucuParticipantI have just thought I should explain myself a bit more.
I am moving the header so that it stretches along the length of the left hand part of the screen. Rotating the letters 90 degrees. Also sticking the footer to the bottom of the screen.
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantSorted using backstretch.
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantThanks for the all help. I have achieved it using backstretch.

gucuParticipantHi
I have grabbed the featured image from the no-sidebar theme as per:
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'ns_single_featured_image', 1 ); function ns_single_featured_image()
And changed the hook to genesis_before. However, that simply places the image in a box . Do I need to do something with the css to get this then to fill the page background please?
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantThanks but I trying to grab the featured image and use that as a background. So I am trying to use a widget to declare the background image.
Thanks

In your theme head you have this code:
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1600" /> <meta property="og:image:height" content="518" />
I believe it has something to do with Facebook plugin - not really sure but could that be doing some sort of restriction?
Rich
gucuParticipantFound it and decided I didn't like it. Some tips for anyone reading this post:
For anyone wanting to change the themes default colours you need to search for your themes colour title. So I am using Outreach Pro theme blue. Hence:
.outreach-pro-blue
This tutorial explains it better.
For changing site width etc. then you need to search in your child themes specific css but in outreach pro I found this:
.wrap { margin: 0 auto; max-width: 98%; }
As you can see I changed it to 98% which gave the site a width of 98% of the screen size. I actually didn't like it and in the end applied this style:
.outreach-pro-blue { background-color: #fff; }
This meant the site's background went white.
Hope this helps.
Rich
gucuParticipantHi
Thanks for the reply. Changed the background colour with no problems but need to allow the site to go full width. Still can't find the answer for that.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantThat was a very simple and brilliant suggestions. Sometimes we can overcomplicate things!
Thanks for all the help.
Rich
gucuParticipantHi Jeremy
If you go appearance - widgets, then check what you have in the widgets titled Welcome Message, After Entry and Newsletter signup. It will probably be something in there. If not go to gucu.org.uk and grab a contact email from there.
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantHi Jeremy
You need to delete all the widgets that are within the primary sidebar. That should stop it showing.

April 1, 2016 at 8:53 am in reply to: Image replacing background header in Outreach Pro Please #182658gucuParticipantHi
I have just done the replacement. What do people think? I edited this css declaration by the way:
.site-header { background-color: #589b37; color: #fff; min-height: 110px; }
And included:
background-image: url(http://originalcornishtartans.com.gridhosted.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Cornish-National-Tartan-large.jpg);
Thanks for any help.

gucuParticipantHi
After much research I have found the Genesis Grid plugin which does much of what I want to achieve. However, I now want to change the home page to add an intro element followed by news category. Is this possible please?
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantWell I found the problem. I created a test site and uploaded Genesis child and did everything exactly the same. The code worked perfectly. It appears there is a problem with the plugin Genesis Featured Image in the header. I have deleted it but the code is now working, just the featured image is not loading accept on the front page. Any ideas on how I can clean the code up please?
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantOne last shout out for help. I have done exactly as documented according to the code snippets and it hasn't worked. I shut down plugins and still nothing. What else can I do please?
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantI have moved it using css but the header is still showing full width so I haven't really achieved anything. Is it possible to get rid of the header code totally and maybe put the title and tagline in the nav bar or over the featured image please?
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantHi
Today I have switched off the plugins and no change at all. Is there someone that can offer some advice on how I might trouble shoot this or is there a support system. It seems to me that if a hook doesn't work then that would count as a bug and should be fixed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Rich
gucuParticipantOk. One step on. I have inserted the following code into the functions file:
/* Reposition the primary navigation menu remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' ); add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
The problem is it doesn't appear to have done anything. I will continue looking.
Thanks
Rich
