    absolutely, the website is https://www.edrywall4u.com.

    Something is wrong with it at the moment, and I’m not sure what. I had been trying to work out how to put a transparent shadow over the entire image, to make the text more universally legible, with no success, and I thought I changed it back to the original (just the background image, no added element for the shadow), but I’m not 1–% sure that I did, and came back after the weekend to see just a gray box on the top half (where the original header image was), so I’m trying to figure out what went wrong there.

    EDIT: scratch that, I got it back to the full image. Now just trying to work out how to add a shadow element to match the top half. Any insights there would be appreciated

    for anybody interested, I have found a way to accomplish this. It basically forces an image over the original background to act as a new BG image

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
   
    background: url('') no-repeat center center fixed;  no-repeat center center fixed;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

    I had to go in and add it as a custom html item on each page individually, so it was a bit of a pain, but it worked fine

    I had kind of figured that would end up being my only option, but it was worth a shot. Thanks

    The theme is set up so that the header image is the one that actually acts as a background image right now, and the black section at the bottom is the actual background image, even though it doesn’t really act like one. That black “background” is what I’m trying to make transparent.

    for the logo, I tried NavMenu images to do that, but I had 2 issues with it:
    -the menu seems to have a preset number of menu items that can fit on one row of the menu, and what I have hits it exactly. When I try to add the logo, It bumps the last menu item onto a new row below the second, even though there’s plenty of space on either side for one
    -I would like it to be in the far left, as opposed to where the current menu items are, but the margins for the menu items seem to be set to not allow this (it may be that both issues are tied into the setting of the margins, however)

    I do see it on flamingo, but it never even hits the spam folder (eitherfor gmail.com or for live.com), even after following tips to avoid being flagged as spam. Any ideas?

    I’ve also set up a second form for rough estimating at https://edrywall4u.com/index.php/estimating-tool-coming-soon/ which does send without issue, but the body of the email doesn’t contain the input from the fields.

    I’m assuming it’s a problem with how I set up the form, so here is what I used:
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    Form:
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    <label> Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name] </label>

    <label> Your Email (required)
    [email* your-email] </label>

    <label> Job Location
    [text your-subject] </label>

    <label> Desired Start & Completion Dates
    [text your-message1] </label>

    <label> Job Type & Description
    [textarea your-message2] </label>

    <label> Sq.F. of Job | Ln.F. of Walls | Wall Height
    [textarea your-message3] </label>

    <label> Number & Height of High/Cathedral Ceilings
    [textarea your-message4]

    <label> Ln.F. of Bead/No Coat, Trim, & Other Special Features
    [textarea your-message5]

    <label> Additional Comments & Considerations
    [textarea your-message6]

    [submit “Send”]
