Hide header image not working?

Hi @absentfriends,

The WordPress.com and www.ads-software.com versions use two completely different code bases, so they differ somewhat in styling and functionality. The www.ads-software.com version of Lovecraft doesn’t support disabling the header image entirely, at least not out of the box.

You can hide it by adding the following CSS to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS:

.header-image {
	display: none;
}

.content {
	margin-top: 0;
}

.wrapper.section {
	border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
}

Perfect! Thanks so much for the prompt help, and the excellent theme!

Oh, except. That seems to have created a new problem: it apparently caused my sidebar to migrate alllll the way to the bottom of the screen.

This isn’t a problem on individual posts or pages, just on the front page. Still a pretty big bummer. Is there any way to tweak that CSS so that it doesn’t exile the sidebar to the wintry south on the home page?

Hi @absentfriends,

There seems to be a bigger issue, unrelated to the CSS. Something in the content of this post is breaking the structure of the markup, resulting in the sidebar and a lot of the other elements ending up below the footer. You can see it when viewing the post on its own as well.

Try removing the Spotify embed and check if that fixes it.

Whoo, great detective work. It wasn’t the spotify embed though — I’ve got dozens of those that didn’t cause any issues. However, I did need to revamp them since www.ads-software.com doesn’t handle spotify URIs in the same way.

While working on the Billie Eilish post, I was trying to wrestle WordPress back to the classic editor, and one of the stops along the way resulted in a bunch of boldgrid stuff getting inserted into the html. I thought I’d gotten rid of it, but didn’t notice that there were 4 </div> tags hanging out at the bottom of the post. Getting rid of those restored the sidebar to its proper place.

That’s twice I owe you! Thanks very much!
