I’m building a test site to show someone in the Sidekick theme – I uploaded images but it looks nothing like the demo/theme. What am I doing wrong please.
I’ve done WP blogs before and had no problem editing but now all I want is a simple site, and boy, this so far is anything but simple and intuitive. Just wondering what I’m doing wrong, I’m going in circles. I want a full width header like the demo, with the text/copy area under it, like the demo with a second full width photo below and more text. Like the demo. Please, what am I missing here.
]]>I am using the Sidekick theme and want the site title and description to appear on top of the header image.
The site is https://wparksphotography.com/wp
The header image is 350 w x 125 h
I would like the menu to be alligned close to the bottom of the header.
Also when I view the home page…in the editor….the URL appears as
https://wparksphotography.com/wp/.htaccess and I can not view the page from the editor….I get a
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp/.htaccess on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
not sure why it has /.htaccess in the url or how to get rid of it
]]>In your preview you show a full size header going across the screen, but when I upload one it only takes up half the page on the left side. My image was bigger than the suggested 480 × 150 pixels. Approx 1024 × 300.
I want one to go across most of the screen in the center, like your preview. How do I do that?
thanks for your help

Hi everyone,
I just installed Sidekick and uploaded an image that was originally 2560×1920 pixels big. I attached it as a featured image to my post, then realized it was too big and went into WP’s media manager, where I resized it to 2560×403 (thus being wider than 1500px and shorter than 500px, as required by the code: if ( $image && $image[1] >= 1500 && $image[2] <= 500 ). However, the function call to wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'sidekick-panoramic' ) still returns Array ( [0] => https://.../wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WP_002681-666x500.jpg [1] => 666 [2] => 500 [3] => 1 ); the URL being for a thumbnail created of the original – not the resized – picture.
I seem to be not the only person with featured image related problems: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/sidekick-theme-has-no-panoramic-header-option-as-shown
I’m sure it’s an oversight on my part, and I’d appreciate any and all pointers you can give me.
Best regards,
Christian
P.S.: I’m not sure how the following quote from https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sidekick/ goes together with the actual source code above:
Sidekick will display a post’s featured image, full browser width, if its aspect ratio is at least 3×1 (width x height) and its minimum width is 1500px.
If the picture is 1800×600px, the text says it’ll work, the source code says (if I understand correctly) it won’t.
