Hi and thanks for this.

If I use the code as-is, my entire content-area is affected on the page.

I removed .hero-wrapper and .content-area in the first line, and got the effect I was looking for. But then I noticed if I expand a nested menu item, the header image sits over the drop down menus.

Perfect!

Many Thanks.

Thank you Sarah.

Yep, I’m using a custom CSS plugin. And I had tried your first suggestion already. That keeps the featured image in the Featured Page area of the Frontpage Template (which is what I want), BUT it removes any image in the header (even if set as custom header image or featured image).

So I tried your second piece of code. That will simply display the Featured Image in the header, and in the Featured Page area. Again, the featured image overides the custom header image.

So maybe it would work better to try to constrain the height of a Featured Image in the header?

Or, could we ask the Frontpage template to fetch the custom header image from a feature page, rather than the featured image?

Thanks again.

UPDATE!!

Sorry, I can’t edit the previous post as it’s too old. I activated a plugin for Unique Headers. All good. I can load a custom header on any page I like.

Only problem is that with Goran’s (excellent) Frontpage template, featured pages only display a Featured Image, not a Custom Header. If I load a Featured Image and a Custom Header to a page, the Featured Image overides the Custom Header and loads at 1230 x 1230, which is why I prefer the Custom Header which loads at 1230 wide, but variable height.

Any ideas how I can either constrain the height of Featured Images in Goran, or, have the Custom Header image display on the Frontpage, Featured Page, rather than the Featured Image?

Merci.

Perfect!
Thanks.

Thank you Celia & Kathryn. Great advice!

I created a child theme, followed instructions for creating a custom page template and it all works. No more sidebar.

However I still need to add CSS to make the main column fill the entire page width of the page and to remove padding and the border currently set up between the content area and the (now empty) widget area.

If I have any trouble I’ll call out ??

Sorry alaricchong for taking so long to reply.
I ended up creating a new page template and the php code to refer to it.

??

Thank you both for the great advice.
I’ll probably try the custom CSS plugin first and see how it goes.

Hi,

Thanks, but I wrote another support user and he fixed my problem. My theme indented unordered lists. All good now.

Thanks.

Since last post I also added Easy Social Icons into the footer as well. There the icons sit indented to the right also, but don’t pop back true center in the smaller media screen as they do when embedded in the content.

I’d love to know how to get them to sit perfectly centered. Thanks.

Thank you Sam!!

That worked great.

Sure, the link below is the page where I would like my gallery to go responsively to 3 or 4 columns on a desktop, depending on the display window size. At the moment it is constrained within the 700px wide entry-content area.

Any idea how I can keep default pages as they are with the 700 wide content area, but tweak a special page for the portfolio gallery?

Thanks for any help.
