    I am using generatepress theme and want header image on front page only. Also want to use header overlays. Do i need to buy an addon to do this? If so which or what is the method. Thanks.

    Hi Carol,

    Do you not want a header at all on any of your other pages? Or do you just want a different header for your other pages?

    I’m not sure what you mean by header overlays? Background images?

    Let me know ??

    Yes. Header only on front page. No header on any other page. I am not positive about overlays. From searching on wordpress it seems like it means to overlay the site title and tagline onto the header image.

    Thanks!!!

    Try this CSS:

    .site-header {
        display: none;
    }
    
    .home .site-header {
        display: block;
    }

    Adding CSS: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-css/

    We have our Backgrounds add-on which allows you to add background images throughout the theme, or you can use CSS to apply it:

    .site-header {
        background-image: url('URL TO YOUR IMAGE');
    }

    Hope this helps ??

    First, let me say you are the MAN when it comes to supporting your product. THANK YOU.

    Second, the header on first page only works perfectly now (and thanks for the easy to follow instructions regarding your Simple CSS plugin and what to add.

    The overlay thing still escapes me though. The way I understand it (which could be completely wrong) is that you specify the header image and then the overlay puts your site title and tag on top of the header. So for my site, instead of using an image with the text already on it, I’d use a image with no text and the overlay magic would add the text. I’m really not sure why this is better but at least the font would match. (This “overlay” method is being dictated to me, obviously)

    Basically, you would set a background image using the add-on or the CSS above, and then your site title and description will overlay on top of that background image.

    It’s an okay method – but I prefer adding everything into one header image (background, title etc..) as you have more control over what shows.

    Let me know if that makes sense or not ??
