Or you could try using custom CSS to make the header transparent, but that doesn’t work in all browsers. Just an afterthought.

If you have Photoshop and Adobe ImageReady you can take a 960px x 198px slice of the large image you want to use for your main background, save the slice as a jpg and use that for the background of your header. Make sure the CSS doesn’t have any borders.

You can see their full size image here.

But that not actually how they did theirs. They used the image above as a page background, and then didn’t include a header. They used CSS to format each of the images that appears in the pseudoheader, like this:

#hulllogo

{

height: 165px;

width: 129px;

padding: 10px 10px 10px 45px;

display: block;

float: left;

}

That controls the Hull FC logo that appears at the left of the header.

The maincontent (everything that appears below the newsticker) is controled by this CSS:

#maincontent

{

z-index: 10;

min-height: 250px;

padding-bottom: 5px;

}

It’s not given a float like the other elements in the head, so it just follows after them in the “wrapper” div.

I’m not sure that you could do something like this without using a child theme to better control what appears in the header. Any ideas, anyone?

I do, it’s just that they automatically go at the bottom of the post. It would be nice to have the option of “top of post,” “bottom of post,” or “top and bottom of post.”

CSS? Try position:relative perhaps?

Graphene Options >> Display >> Header Display Options

Then tick the box next to “Hide the top bar”. Will this work for you?

Or just add custom CSS, without altering theme files:

.searchform {display:none}

But dropdown option would be more elegant.

Well, I don’t see that happening anywhere on your blog. Does this only happen when you are logged into the forum? I’m not seeing it as a guest. If this only happens on the forum page, it is possible that it is a problem with the forum plugin. Perhaps it interferes with another plugin.

Or is there a way to make this possible, using a child theme? Do you want something like this blog?

Glancing through the codex I found how to link posts, pages and categories, and also how to use a function to create wp list pages. So it may be possible, if you are willing to create a child theme and play around with the php.

I’ll take a look at this some more when it’s not so late.

I get what you mean now. Actually, pages are serving the purpose you would like them to, which is namely, to act like a widget and show posts from a certain category.

The purpose of a post is to provide information which you want readers to see now, but which will eventually be replaced by newer posts. The purpose of a page is to provide information which you want to always be available. You can always create links to specific posts in each page, but it seems to me that you are wanting each page to act like an RSS feed for a specific category. I’m not sure that this is possible, regardless of what theme you use.

I’m not sure exactly what is happening here. Do you mean every photo that you upload to your media library or to a post or a page?

I seriously doubt this is a theme-related problem. Do you have a plugin that involves photos or other media? Try disabling plugins, one at a time, to see if that is the problem. Not every plugin with works with every theme, and not every plugin works with every other plugin.
