Ctr Theme Header Problem

[Marko Vel]

Hey guys anyone knows why i can't get blog like from this image?




What ever i do i can't get this big blue header on my site?

Here you go...

Step 1: (add class to head div tag)

<div class="headerbg">
header stuff here...
</div>

Step 2: (update style css)
Option 1...
Open up your main .css file and add the following class...

.headerbg { 
height: 200;
width: 700;
background-color: 335070; }

Option 2...
If you don't want to add class to the .css file apply with in the head tags on your blog:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.headerbg { 
height: 200;
width: 700;
background-color: 335070; }
-->
</style>

NOTE: You can change the width, height, bg color variables as needed.

Hi Will, thank you for your answer.
Can you please explain me "Step 1: (add class to head div tag)" ?

Should i go to header here and change this?

[Will P]

Not sure exactly how to elaborate on this one more but if you like you can send me the files and ill do it for you free of charge.

Hey Marko,
What Will is explaining is how to edit the source php/css files of the theme to get style a header as you've described. You will add the pieces of code he gave you to the source theme files.

For the first step he listed go to Apperance > Editor > then click Header.php from your WP dashboard to make the changes.

For the second step go to Apperance > Editor > then click Style.css


PLEASE NOTE:
If your using the CTR theme you shouldn't have to do any of this to get that header to work, its supposed to work out of the box. Perhaps you don't have that layout selected in the CTR theme options?

I was googling around to see if you can insert custom headers for ctr theme (since product support is basically non existent now for this theme) and this thread came up.

So does anyone know how to insert custom headers for ctr theme?

I use the CTR theme. On the Dashboard panel, scroll to the bottom to "CTR Theme". Click that and go to "General Site Options". Scroll down to "site header image" and set the file to use for your header. Of course, you need to have uploaded the file to your site beforehand. Hope this helps.

I don't understand why you can't just insert your own image here... see below...

How does your header popup? If you can please share a screenshot it would be of much help.

It seems that the header shows up for only one of ctr theme's subtheme which is the one showed at the OP. I was hoping that it would show as well for the other subthemes but no luck. Can you guys get a custom header to show for other subthemes?

[penpoint]

The procedure is the same for any of the subthemes. Just select the subtheme you want then follow the steps I outlined in an earlier post. Upload your image. Look at the box Adie pointed out in his post. Put the header image link there, scroll to the bottom and click save.

No it doesn't show for 4 out of 5 subthemes. Only on 1 subtheme is the header banner shown. Did you try it out for your other subthemes as well? if it's working for you, then it might be on my end. I doubt i'll get any support from Eppie (owner of ctr theme) though as he's missing in action.

You sure the WP Cache isn't messing with you?

Upload the image, then check the page with another browser (or clear the cache).

Yup, no wp-cache installed on my sites. And i've also pressed alt+f5 to do a full refresh. I guess there something wrong with ctr theme on my site then.
