You can always try resetting your permalinks as that fixes a lot of these type of issues that arise when activating/deactivating plugins/themes.
To reset them you simply have to visit your permalinks page. Technically you shouldn't have to 'save' them again, but I always do just to be sure.
If you still have the issue and have plugins on the site you could try deactivating them to see if it resolves the issue, then activate them one-by-one to find the conflict and go from there.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberSorry it didn't work - without looking at the source code it's tough to tell as it seems like the CSS applied to the image is dynamically added. It actually cuts off for me in Chrome as well. It may be worth reaching out to the theme developer to see if there is a fix for it.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberHey EmLY14,
I think the word 'static' is probably confusing. Static would insinuate you'd want it to remain in the same location, thus scroll with the page. I think want you want to use is either:
position: relative;
or
position: absolute;
This depends on the flow of the documents and other elements around it, but if you add that it will override the fixed position and allow it to remain in place, instead of remaining fixed while you scroll.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberBased on the source code it looks like that image was added with a widget. Check your widgets for the 'header widget area' and that is where that image should be located.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberNot sure if this is the best option as I'm not familiar with that theme but you could alter the CSS - something like this:
#front-page-1 .backstretch img { position: relative; width: 100%; height: auto; left: auto; }
Give that a shot and see if it helps.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberCan you post the code from your functions.php file here or in a gist or something to look at?
Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberHey Nuzzina,
The functions.php does NOT have to end in a closing ?> tag (actually it is preferred that it NOT have a closing tag), but if you have whitespace at the end of the file it can cause issues. I suggest opening the functions.php file in a text editor, going to the very last character in the document and then hold the 'delete' key down for a while. That should delete any empty white space at the end of the file. Then save it and upload it and see if that helps.
Cheers,
Matt

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberHey @carolcat - sorry for the VERY VERY slow response. I haven't been on the forums for quite some time. This is a custom theme build from scratch, no child theme.
I'm actually in the midst of re-building it again!

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberThanks for the compliments, much appreciated. I actually create my own child themes for all my projects that basically start as a blank canvas, so it is customized from the ground up.
I have a slightly different approach that doesn't use quite as many hooks/filters for page templates, loop customization, etc... Here is my generic base child theme I typically start with:
https://github.com/mwhiteley16/base-genesis-child
Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberTypically that will only happen when you make changes like activating/de-activating plugins or changing functionality related to posts (ie. Custom Post Types, changing slugs, changing blog page location, etc...). Resetting permalinks is relatively common.
Did you do anything that may have prompted the 404 or does it just randomly happen?
Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberActually...now that you mention it and I apologize for not pointing this out - it is a genesis function and I have a gist I use for it:
https://gist.github.com/mwhiteley16/4f0a57ea6ca9fb4c1139
The /** Add Custom Sidebar**/ portion is what I put in my functions.php and the //show it portion is how to put it into a page template.
Hope that helps too!

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberWordpress Codex is your best resource - or just google it as there are certainly tons of great tutorials out there:

Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberYour website is blocked so I can't look, but you most likely want to change the width on your menu container to 'auto' instead of full-width and then use text-align:left with no float on the menu containers, then the alignment of the menu items would be controlled by the parent, not individually floated right (which causes them to re-order). Without seeing the exact code that is about as helpful as I can be!
Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberYou simply need to change the anchor CSS in the stylesheet (preferably a child theme):
a { color: insertColorHere; }

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressMarch 21, 2015 at 4:19 pm in reply to: How do I change the Color and Font of Pages at top of Home page #145128WhiteleyDesignsMemberSomething like this to your CSS would lighten that text a bit and increase the font size. Adjust as needed.
.backcountry-blue #nav li a { color: #9FB5D5; font-size: 14px; }

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMember@Tanya - based on that error you're trying to upload a theme as a plugin. Make sure you're uploading it in the themes section, not in the plugins section.
@webdesign579 - Are you sure you're uploading the theme folder and not a folder that has the theme in it? A lot of time themes are zipped up and inside the zip is the folder (with the theme) and a readme. If you upload the entire folder it won't work. Hopefully that helps.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberBy "no margins" I am assuming you mean 100% width and not a centered container with a specific width like most sites have. In simplest form and without going in to too much detail, you simply have the divs that wrap the site set to width: 100%, and then use the divs inside each section to control any width restrictions you may need. This would make any background images, colors, etc you use in the outer divs to span the width of the screen.
There really isn't a quick "this is how you do it" - it would be a bunch of CSS styling to change widths, margins, padding as needed.
Hope that helps.
Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberThat would make sense...I tested it on a lot of friends and family and people I do my web-work with, all in the 25-35 demo; so that could be a factor for sure.

Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberNot mad at all...feedback is feedback...gotta take it all, good and bad.
I'd be happy to talk about working together - shoot me an email if/when you have a chance - [email protected].
Cheers.
Matt Whiteley – WhiteleyDesigns, GitHub
Designing, Developing & Creating with WordPressWhiteleyDesignsMemberHmmm...guess we'll just agree to disagree. I don't see any type of blurring but you're obviously not making it up, haha. I appreciate you taking the time to look - good thing you won't be looking to me for work since you hate it and your wife hates it!
Good idea on posting on critique, I may do that.
Cheers.
