Header Image Reverting to Transparent

  • OK, allow me to share my stupidity. I have uploaded a new header image to my site, and it doesn’t seem to matter what I do the image will not show with a white background.

    I’ve tried manipulating the image, adding background layers in white, even taking a screenshot of the image showing up with a white background and uploading that. Somehow, the background image of my blog overrides the white of my header, and continues to show it in gray (matching the background image of the theme).

    Am I just being dumb here? I’ve tried so many things, but it refuses to show up white. I don’t want to change my site’s background image to white because it will keep the posts from popping.

    Any help is appreciated.

  • can you provide a link to your website so i can take a peek?

    oh, i’m a dope. it’s your name. *facepalm*. Sorry,

    So, it appears to be coming from your theme’s class “header”. It has some kind of css3 animation attached to that div, so it’s dissolving in a grey overlay on top of your image. This is occurring because your logo is a background image, so it gets stuck under the transition.

    If you know any HTML, you could probably just develop a quick child theme and plug your header image that way; alternatively, (and I’m not endorsing this! :D) you could just hack your theme and include the header as an image tag.

    Ah I see! Hmmm, I will try to create the child theme. Of course, the last time I did that I crashed the whole site. ?? Thanks very much!

    HAHA. You’re very welcome! Come back if you run into any issues there!
