Header (image and/or text) missing

    Hello friends.
    Currently I am working on this site https://www.nwghostrecon.com
    My header text and site description no longer show.
    I have changed my theme to twenty twelve and the text is still missing.
    I tried to upload a header image but it shows up inside the blog instead of on top of site. Very strange. I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.5.1. No luck. I checked the forum history, but could not find similar errors. Hmm

    What may have happened:
    The site worked very well, but I tried to find how big my header image was by looking at the editor. It is very likely I put an extra space or deleted something in the CSS by accident. I dont know how to find it or how to fix it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you. chris.

  • do you still have the texts for the site title and tag line under
    dashboard – settings – general ?

    Yes I do. Looking at the Site Title and Tagline, it has my text. I can change the color of the text, and it will change (on that General page). I uploaded a picture as a test (on the Custom Header page). It shows up there, but appears “under” the pages line. The text never shows up.

    as you are working with the default theme of wp3.5, it would be a very good idea to create a child theme to do the modifications with; https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

    as you seem to have made only very little changes so far, consider to upload a new cody of Twenty Twelve, and start new with a child theme.

    back to the problem:

    the output where the site title and tagline should be, is empty;

    from the thml code in the browser:

    <h1 class="site-title"><a href="https://www.nwghostrecon.com/" title="" rel="home"></a></h1>
			<h2 class="site-description"></h2>

    check in header.php if the corresponding code is still there:

    <h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
			<h2 class="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>

    re header image:
    there is no sign of any header image output in your site.

    check that a header image is selected under dashboard – appearance – header

    general troubleshooting:
    – temporarily switch to the default theme Twenty Eleven; to see if you can get an header image and the site title and tagline to show (you will probably need to check the settings under dashboard – appearance – header);
    – sometimes, plugins are interfering with the proper working of a site;
    try to temporarily deactivate all plugins to see if that solves the problem; then reactivate one plugin after the other to locate the problematic one.

    Resolved.
    [Message for Future readers]: This issues was resolved when I turned off every plugin, and started turning them on one by one and checking the site. As it turns out, the plugin called “Seopress Version 1.2.4” was causing my header to disappear.

    It is now off (I may re-activate it when it is updated next).
    Big thanks to alchymyth for his assistance with my problem.
    Cheers, C.
