Header settings

Hi

On the following site:

halifaxminster.churchesaliveonline.com

I'd like to change the row settings for the TOP and LOGO rows. I have used the template settings to change the Row Style colour - it makes no difference. I have checked that the Container Style is not overriding it. It says container background none. I've made sure I've saved settings and compiled css etc.

I'd either like to change these to white, or to transparent like on the demo site.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi

Can you attach your settings as a screenshot

Do you see any error in the console tab on saving?

Cheers

No error message. See screenshot.

Strangely I just picked a different colour and it changed successfully to that one. Now it won't change from that one!!!?!

Do you have any caching enabled?

either on the site or the server?

Siteground for example has caching enabled on the server - it is called supercacher I think

Yes I think it must be a caching issue. It's sorted itself out now without me changing any settings.

Can I ask how you make the whole area transparent and add background photos as shown on the demo. I don't see that in the documentation yet.

It's based on Standard with a few colour changes.

Looking at the theme template inside builder -

bambootheme.com/showcase/apr16/home/standard

I don't see background images are you sure you don't mean backgrounder?

Yes I switched theme to Backgroundr

If I want to have a transparent header and background images for different rows, like the one here bambootheme.com/showcase/apr16/home/backgrounder, how do I go about that?

With the images you need to publish a zentools module to the background position

After you have up and running we can how the rows are set up

If you are using the quickstart the module published to the background position is a zentools2 module with an id of 1137

OK I have the background slideshow at the top. I just need to sort the header row so that it is transparent, and also the other rows of modules so that they also have a photo background.

Still not sorted. Any ideas how to make the Top and Logo areas transparent like in the demo?

The image isn't set to cover the background so it displays as per its settings

if you use slideshow-backstretch that should extend the image - at the moment it can't extend to cover enough space

That worked. Thanks. Can the Top Row be made transparent or not?

You can edit row styles by clicking the pencil for the row and then clicking the style tab

I understand that but I can't see how to make it transparent.
