Anyone have the solution for how to move the header pic above the site title and tagline (or preferably to the side of it, so the picture is on the left and the text on the right?)

Thank you xo

Logo to stay on the left where it currently is, text moved to the right, beside the logo

Actually I’d like the site title and tagline to the side of the header pic, is this possible?

Well that would explain why my changes are not showing up! Duh!

Okay I have now activated it, and the header pic now shows up above the menu, yay!

Although, how so I get it to be above the site title and tagline as well?

Thanks for your help ??

Waterprism – I just installed TheThe Fly’s image header and it totally rocks, thank you for the tip!

Hey Zbych and Arron,

How did you make the slider your header image? I’m trying to figure that out for my site and any guidance would be very much appreciated ??

Thanks,
Amy

Okay sweet! Thank you so much, I’ll play around with it. REALLY appreciate your kind help ?? *shakes hand*

I would also like to change the font type, color and the background color in the button – does anyone know how to do this in the style.css page?

Oh thank you very much Mindctrl, adding that to my child style.css changing the first 9px to 1px did fix it! I had not modified my Twenty Eleven template though, and prior to this there was no reference to it in my child plan, so I wonder what I did to cause that? No doubt it has something to do with the errors in my page but I am lost on that front ??

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Esmi,

Thanks for posting that. When I look at the errors though they seem (to me, a layman) that they are with the HTML code related to my plug-ins (i.e. my WP Boxer Pro Plug-in and my DKOATED CTA Buttons plug-in), or my hidden content, such as post meta data and the ‘Proudly powered by WordPress’ generator. I didn’t write this HTML code! If I knew how to I wouldn’t be using plug-ins! Hence unfortunately I don’t know how to fix those errors.

There are also formatting errors regarding my navigation menu. This is what I’ve added to my style.css regarding this menu:

#access {
	background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #CDC0B0;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	margin: 0 auto;
}
#access a {
	font-size: 18px;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #848484;
	font-family: Papyrus, Gudea, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

Have I made errors in that? I am not sure where I am going wrong here and further I’m not sure how to fix the code that I didn’t write. Sorry if I am missing the obvious as to what I have done to cause the errors, and to cause the text inside the “continue reading” button to sit at the bottom. Can you give me some further insight?

Does anyone know how to change the static home page background color? It is white and I want to change to to match the rest of the site . My site again is https://esotericwisdom.cu.cc (I’m referring to the area housing the text “Explore the ancient esoteric techniques we teach today….”)

Thanks!

Did you get an answer to this? I would like to do the same thing and am using a child-plan of Twenty Eleven also.

I’m confused, should we make the change in the showcase.php file or the index.php file of our child-plan, and what change should we make?

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Datdesignguy, you rock! The transparent code worked for the featured post background color, and coping the entire the showcase.php file from my parent-theme into the child theme and then making the title change worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

Now all I need to figure out is how to change the static home page background color and then it will be consistant throughout.

I’d also like to change the font type and color of the ‘Featured Article” heading, and add a background box around that heading of a different color, would I do this in the css file or the showcase.php file?

Sorry, THIS is what I entered in to my CSS (but it still didn’t work)

.page-id-116 {
background-color: #FFFFF2;
}

Thanks so much for your replies guys!

I entered this to my Style CSS, but unfortunately it didn’t work:

.page-id-116
background-color: #FFFFF2;
}

I am not familiar with php so have no clue what I am doing! But anyway I found the featured post section in the showcase.php file of Twenty Eleven. So my attempt to change the wording ‘featured post’ to ‘featured article’ I made a showcase.php file in my childplan, and added the following:

<div class="featured-posts">
					<h1 class="showcase-heading"><?php _e( 'Featured Article', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h1>

Unfortunately this replaced my entire site with a blank page, with the words ‘Featured Article’. Then I removed my code and then was left with a blank page, so I removed the showcase.php page all together and my site went back to normal.

Obviously I’m doing it wrong!

I want the background to always be #FFFFF2 for all posts (including featured and the home page) so no ‘else’ statements are needed. (By the way the page is called HOME).

This is the code I think is needed for the background of the home page, but as I said I am not familiar with php and after I messed it up the first time I think I need some more instruction – I don’t want to alter the original template, I want to make the changes in the child plan. Please help!

<body <?php
if (is_page('HOME'))
{?>
style="background: #FFFFF2;"
<?php } ?> >
