Got it… it was easier than I feared.
In front-page.php, change line 24

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

to
add_filter( ‘genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout’, ‘__genesis_return_sidebar_content_sidebar’ );

Thanks for replying to this, Brad -

The challenge is how to make an archive page the canonical link when an entire post is featured at the top of it, to avoid duplicate content, and aggregate the rank of the 2 pages.

I wrote a post about it, but I've heard that I don't need a plugin to write a post-specific rel=canonical tag.

I tested the scripts field...
First tried putting random text in there, and got the "sure you want to do this?" error...
but when I put in a properly formatted rel=canonical link, it showed up, in the head...
So it does work for that purpose.
It's still necessary to disable the rel=canonical written by Yoast, by default
(see the same article)

It'll work.

Ah - good eyes!
That got in there from some back-and-forth on this on a Google+ thread... (took bad advice)

I have (what I think is) correct code now... but when I take the wrap to 100%, the image huddles left and doesn't stretch.

[jonburr]

I didn't modify that - I lifted it from my copy of Agency Pro.
Not being able to write php, I need to borrow code... and that's where I got that.

How should it read?

[jonburr]

Hk Brad, thanks for having a look at this...

Yes, the javascript files are in the js folder for the Magazine Pro theme.

Other than adding them and the code above, I haven't modified the theme files.

Yes, your suggested code to call the header image is in functions.php.

Sorry for overposting. I got frustrated.

I have WP SuperCache installed, and although it was deactivated, its static pages were still in its cache and that's why I was seeing my new background overwritten. I had to reactivate it, and use its controls in /Settings to delete the cached pages it had created.

My beef about Custom Backgrounds, that they don't accommodate tiled images, is valid.
but, I found out that the workaround is this:

If there's an image in Custom Backgrounds, delete it! and set the background image in the body selector as a background-image property in the css (near line 147). Background-repeat: repeat-y; needs to be set as well.

[jonburr]

This is weird and unwelcome behavior...

When I upload a full-size version of the background, it appears... but, instead of being able to serve a small file and tile it, Agency Pro seems to insist on a full-size background - assuming that any file brought into the "customizer" is intended to be full-page.

Is this Agency Pro doing this, Genesis, or Parker? What happened to the Custom Background feature?

The coding somewhere doesn't allow for the possibility of a tile.

Is this a good idea, Studiopress - when page load times are SEO criteria in a competitive environment? You're insisting that I add several hundred k to my data load and defeat traditional web functionality in the process? You should at least include an option to disable the javascript. Why is javascript pulling from a cache even when the image is deleted? Where is the cache and how can I get rid of it?

I tried deleting my custom background and adding it from css... which works in Chrome, but in Safari and Firefox, Agency Pro digs the initial image out of a cache somewhere and plasters it over my background - even after I deleted it. This is after emptying the caches on the browser. How can I defeat this?

I enjoyed coding in Agency, but Agency Pro is getting too cool for school and creating headaches for designers like myself who are not expert at javascript forensic analysis. If you're going to add functionality like this, which for many applications is admittedly cool, you should include a way to make it optional.

The microdata markup and HTML5 features are great - but you shoot yourself in the foot requiring large background images. Load times count.

[jonburr]

I've uploaded a background image.

I set it to tile vertically.
Its size is 1500x72px

This is what I see in the Custom Background dialog:

What is going on?
"Custom Background" seems to insist on cropping my image. This used to be simple.

You can also add the following to your css:

#header {

background-size: 100% auto;

}

This will resize your one header. The responsive header plugin is good, too, but necessitates the making of 4 versions of the header.
