No, that's my header widget. My logo isn't showing up anymore on the left. This is really been frustrating.

[Kim]

....and now my black background is gone! Grrrr!!!!

[Kim]

Oh my goodness! Thank you Dev! I've been messing with this for days! Followed your instructions and got my logo which is 430 x 120 to actually show up! Progress. But it's too far left...I know it's got to be something easy that I'm missing. Any suggestions. Thanks!

Here's my site

Hey guys,

I'm having the same issue w/ the Outreach theme. I've read all your posts and I've copied the code from Matt's last post into my header section in the style.css. Then I went to Appearance > Header and "Restored Original Image Header". Ok, so that is centered and the background color (blackish) is correct. But I want to use my own header...

So then in Appearance > Header I uploaded my header image that I designed and want to use that includes my logo, etc. But the stupid thing won't show up. It keeps showing the original theme header! I don't understand why.

Here is a screenshot of the Appearance > Header section that clearly shows my header being used.

Any help would be great because this is giving me a headache. LOL! Thanks.

Hi. I am having a similar issue and using the Outreach theme. All was well until I designed a new header and uploaded it. The header size is EXACTLY the size the theme says to use which is 1060 ?— 120. It is not centering full width and not repeating and also the background color is not showing up to the right where it should be. The background color is a black color, not gray. I don't get it. My code for the header image is below. The only thing I tried was to replace the images/header.png with the actual file name which is images/header.snr.png -- that did nothing to fix the issue.

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

I've included a screenshot as this site is under maintenance mode right now.

Thank you for any help or suggestions! Driving me nuts!

Yes, I would like it to show up under my slider. Not sure what you mean...sorry...

Use the hook before and add the 3rd parameter if needed.

[Kim]

That did it -- only shows on the homepage. Yay! My issue regarding it being before the slider still remains and I want it after the slider. Tried Brad's suggestion of "genesis_before_content" and it made no change. Hummmmm........

[Kim]

I just found the below instructions on this web page: http://philipgledhill.co.uk/genesis-framework-widget-area/. I'm going to give it a shot, but thought I would pass it along....will update once I've tried it.

If you want to only display your widget and it’s content on your home page you need to use some conditional code.

Go to…
Dashboard > Appearance > Editor.
On the right hand side of your screen look for Theme Functions functions.php

Find the widget area code we added to the site and type some conditional code just before where it says genesis_widget_area.

function custom_welcome_text() {

if ( ! is_home() )
return;

genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-text'

[Kim]

You are correct...I didn't have a chance to test it on other pages. Yes, that is what I want as well...only on the homepage. Back to the drawing board....

[Kim]

Daniel, if you follow this tutorial it will add the welcome text before the slider then you can edit the look of it.

[Kim]

Thanks, Brad, I will give that a shot.

[Kim]

Thank you, Mr. Nosey!!!!!!!!

[Kim]

Found it! I was messing around w/ the Simple Hooks plug in and I forgot to remove my "testing" from that area!!!! Thank you for pointing that out. I totally forgot I did that. Appreciate your assistance!!!! =)

[Kim]

Hi,

Humm, I'm not sure what you're seeing but when I look at my live site there's no "testing" wording above the slider just space. I don't have any other widget in the Home Featured section, just the slider. Not sure where that would be coming from, how it even got there or how to get rid of it.

[Kim]

Put the [...more...] tag in the body of the post that's on your homepage where you don't want the full post listed and it will add the "read more". It worked for me anyway. Not sure if that's the correct way to do it though...

[Kim]

Thank you, Anitac. I think we got it. I didn't see line #61, but removed line 225 and it seems to be working. Yay! Thank you soooo much. I never would have thought of that! =)

Appreciate all the help from you both.

[Kim]

Yes, b/c I had some issues with the sizing so there were a few uploaded, but I checked my library and there is only one instance of the logo.png. That was the first thing I thought of...duplicate images. But, I only have one uploaded and I purposefully deleted the others. I'll look closer and make sure they are not hanging around in the "trash" or somewhere else.

[Kim]

Yes, my site title & subtitle are filled out on the General settings section, but that has never been an issue on any other web site I've ever designed. Plus....when you remove that, your web site no longer has a title. I just removed it and now my home page has no title.....that's not gonna work.

[Kim]

It's a double image, not just the text b/c it's got the logo on the left so I can tell it's my image showing up twice. That's REALLY strange b/c I don't see it at all!

[Kim]

Hi Rob,

The "Show header text with your image" is unchecked.

The web site link is in my first post. It's Delaware Bible College

Thanks!
