Marvellous! I’ve only just had a chance to try this and it works great for me. Many thanks.

It seems to me that this should be fixable with some customised CSS but nothing achieves the effect required. Here are the steps I’ve already taken…

First, its clear that element I need to alter the CSS for is
.has-header-image:not(.twentyseventeen-front-page):not(.home) .custom-header-media img

However, changing the top: attribute for this (say, from 0 to 70px) shifts the cropped image downwards, revealing 70px of whitespace.

Meanwhile, this custom CSS pretty much achieves the desired effect:

.has-header-image:not(.twentyseventeen-front-page):not(.home) .custom-header-media img {
position: fixed;
top: -15%; }

Unfortunately, this appears to also mess with the z-index in a way I can’t fathom. On single posts with a featured image the above custom CSS causes the header image to badly overlap the featured image, and so is not workable on its own.

I feel frustrated that my CSS skills aren’t up to this, but hopeful that the fix is an easy one.

With thanks, in hope.

… aaaand its now in the WordPress plugins directory.

I have now created a plug-in that does what I want.

OK, so I found a couple of threads on wordpress.stackexchange.com.

In both cases someone helpfully wrote some code, and I’ve been able to create a custom plugin that does what I want.

Thank you.

Erm, correct me if I’m wrong, but since WordPress specifies only PHP 4.3, isn’t designing a plugin that only works with PHP 5.x something of a FAIL?

I’ve heard great things about Elastic but I’m getting the error complained about above. Can someone recommend either
a) A hack to the code to stop this error appearing; or
b) A link to an earlier version of the plugin that works with WP 2.9.1 and PHP 4.3?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi there,

I seem to have (EmptyReference!) all over my new 2.5 installation. I located them all in the PHP files and deleted them from the code (they sit within a form tag) which seems to have solved the problem.

Don’t know how they got there though.
