how to get rid of pattern in header?

    I activated a pattern (Styling->Header & Footer->Header and Footer pattern) and now can’t get rid of it. I can change the pattern, but am unable to have no pattern selected at all. I tried Firefox, Chrome, IE (Windows 7). Impossible not to have a pattern selected. If I have the red circle with the line through it selected, that’s what I see in the header — lots of red circles with lines through them.

    I would like the header to be a solid color, which I have selected above under “Header color.” How can I do this — how can I get rid of the pattern? When the page first loads, I see the solid color for a moment, then it changes to whatever pattern is selected.

    I would prefer to get rid of the pattern without editing custom.css. I did find that if I comment out the line in custom.css where $evolve_main_pattern is set, the pattern goes away.

    Thanks.

    I added these lines to Custom CSS (via the theme customization, not by editing the custom.css file), and it seemed to solve the problem.

    .header {
    background-color: #003084;
    }

    Still, there seems to be a bug with not being able to un-select a pattern?

    Sorry, not fixed after all. The footer still has the red circles with lines through them (the currently selected “pattern”). Nothing I’ve tried so far has gotten rid of that pattern. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Just now I’ve returned custom.css to its original state (line 13 not commented out), so you can see the header and footer background. (I can’t leave the site in this condition for more than a portion of today as it’s embarrassing…)

    Once again, if I comment out line 13 of custom.css (the line where evolve_main_pattern is set), the problem with the pattern appearing is gone and the background of the header and footer is blue (as desired). However, I do not want to change the custom.css file in any way. The above site is part of a multisite WP installation.

    I’m sure if I could un-select a pattern the problem would go away, but it’s not possible to un-select a pattern once one has been selected. It’s only possible to change from one pattern to another.

    Thanks for looking at it.

    Hi,

    Use the following in Appearance -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS

    .header-pattern, .footer {
    background-image: none !important;
}

    Thank you
