Scribble header question

[smokey216Participant Post count: 8]

Hi there…just got Scribble and I’d like to make the header area larger–specifically 980px wide and 210px in height. I tried to do this in the header file but it didn’t take. Would greatly appreciate any help on this! Thank you…

Look for this in your functions.php file:

/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 960, 'height' => 100 ) );

Change that to 980 width and 210 height, and you should be good to go.

Thank you so much! That did the trick. Now the only weird thing is, the header seems to be off to the side and not replacing the dark grey box in the center…any ideas?

Look for this in your stylesheet:

#title-area {
 background-color: #333;
 float: left;
 height: 100px;
 overflow: hidden;
 padding: 0;
 text-align: center;
 width: 250px;
}

remove background-color: #333;

That should do it.

Thank you again Susan! That did get rid of the box…I’ve tried changing the left float for the header image and it’s still off to the left though…where in the stylesheet do I change that? Thanks again in advance!

Hi, just wondering if anyone can shed light on why the header image doesn’t center? I haven’t changed anything regarding that, assume the header should center on the pages…thank you!
