Hi Anita. In my last effor to get it working, I downloaded it from StudioPress.

Oh, my. My wife says I see with "man eyes", meaning that instead of looking carefully, I ask... Guess she's right!

Thanks much. Will see if we can make it work now.

Thanks Victor.

If I picked, say, the Education theme, is it the same for that theme too? One line in the CSS to allow a full width header.

And what about the header height?

Thanks,

Bill

[willyr]

Thank you for your replies.

The issue I see with modifying CSS and .php files is that an update would overwrite them, necessitating modifying them yet again.

I am having a hard time believing that no one has created a theme for WP that has a full width header?

Cheers,

Bill

[willyr]

Thank you. The tool you referred me to pointed out the issue and it was fixed.

[willyr]

Victor, sorry.

The site is: http://www.lastewardship.ca/

[willyr]

Well, no I didn't. I had to get some pro help to find the right section in the CSS to make the change. Unfortunately, our forums didn't come through this time.

[willyr]

A huge leap forward, Brad. Thank you much.

It seems, regardless of how wide I make the header in the CSS and functions, the header stops almost at the beginning of the right column. Ideally, I'd like the header this size, but centered over the 3 columns. I've reviewed and can't see a margin: auto;. Can you point to where it should be?

Again, thank you for your help.

Thank you carasmo. It never crossed my mind that there would be a plugin that would accomplish this. I will download them and experiment. Cheers,

Odd that.

When I'm in the APPEARANCE / CUSTOMIZE / THEMES and then click the customize header link, I get the following:

"Header Image
While you can crop images to your liking after clicking Add new image, your theme recommends a header size of 1140 ?— 120 pixels. "

So, I'm not quite sure where your logo size is coming from.

I still think it has to do with your actual image being larger than you think it is.

[willyr]

It looks to me like your logo has a background that is exceeding the size parameter of the image and distorting the line. Can you access a photo program to ensure that the image is really 65 x 300 pixels?

Just a thought since I used the same theme in my http://www.all-about-ottawa.com/ site, and had no problem with the image size.

[willyr]

Thanks.

Added this code to the bottom of the style sheet:

.menu-primary a {
font-size: 30px;
}

It made no change in the presentation of the page after I uploaded the style.css file, even after refreshing the page several times.

I would have thought that a change in the font-size in this following part of the code would have done it, but it doesn't either.

.menu-primary,
.menu-secondary {
clear: both;
color: #fff;
font-size: 14px;
margin: -15px auto 20px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}

What I find interesting is that it's calling for text color to be WHITE, I think, yet on the page page, the navigation column text is blue and underlined, so I guess I'm still not in the right area.

Anyway, thanks again. Still working on it.

[willyr]

Confused is what I am. Sorry. I'm not seeing it.

All I need to know is where in the CSS for the Education theme is the text size code for the primary navigation.

As noted earlier, I made changes in the text size for every field in the CSS that I could find, made a dramatic size change in each one at a time, uploaded the modified CSS one change at a time, hard refreshed the page, and could not see any change on the site. Changed the CSS back to the original, moved on to the next spot in the CSS that referred to text size, and changed that, and so on and I have not been able to make a change in the size of the text in the primary navigation despite my best efforts.

Thanks.

[willyr]

Thanks again.

Looking for help with my CSS in the forum, as opposed to an outside source.

[willyr]

Braddalton - thanks, but I don't see anything in there about font size, and that's what I'm trying to increase. I'm finding the primary navigation column text to be too small.

Cheers.

[willyr]

I didn't, you did! 🙂

Thanks much again.

Hi Lauren... I'm feeling bad about Tampa Bay... but we got one more kick at the can!

So, a heads up about Go Daddy's "managed WordPress" hosting site. You are right on the money. After the last go around I contacted their support and guess what, you have to log into the WP admin, and use a link / button at the top of the page to clear the cache, and even then, it takes 2-3 minutes sometimes for their servers to actually do it.

So, I'm not happy about this, but at least we now know why changes in the CSS were not propogating, and, if you get queries about this issue from others, knowing if they are hosting on Go Daddy might help.

Thanks so very much for all your help. After I jumped through the GoDaddy hoops for clearing the cache, the site is now presenting well.

Have a good one. After submitting this I will mark this issue as being fixed!

Hi Lauren... don't you ever sleep? 🙂

New style.css code as follows, and already uploaded to the server:

.header-full-width.header-image .site-title a {
background-position: center !important;
margin: 0;
}

.header-image .site-title a {
float: left;
/* min-height: 110px; */
width: 100%;
}

After clearing cache, no apparent change on my site. Must be a cache issue on the server side?

WillyR

[willyr]

It must be something to do with propogation and caching as you say, Lauren.

I have just uploaded a new style.CSS file in which the following code appears for the header area:

/*
Site Header
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.site-header {
background-color: #76d2c5;
padding: 48px;
overflow: hidden;
}

.header-image .site-title a {
float: left;
min-height: 200px;
width: 100%;
}

.site-header {
background-color: #76d2c5;
padding: 0; /* <-- this line */
overflow: hidden;
}

After FTP'ing the style.css file, I both clear the cache (Shift+F5) and use the browser to clear all history, including the cache.

Typically any CSS change presents on the live site immediately. When I visit the site a few minutes after uploading the CSS, I see absolutely no change on my site. Too small header cropped to lose some of the info.

Darn....

I have this:

.header-image .site-title a {
float: left;
min-height: 200px;
width: 100%;
}

in the site header section of the style.css file.

Looked at my site, cleared the cache, refreshed, and it's still not giving me the whole header logo.

The graphic file is 200 px height x 600 px width in size, but that's sure not what I'm seeing on the page.
