WordPress Theme Question: Editing The Header?

by EdmundLoh
6 replies
Hey guys, I'm using a new WordPress theme as a layout for a membership site.

This one to be exact:

WordPress › Suffusion « Free WordPress Themes

Usually, I'm able to figure out what to edit where the header is concerned, but this one is loaded with several features I don't know which file and code to edit.

I want to remove the "Blog Title" and "Blog Description" from the Header, and replace it with a single image.

There's also a "Search" feature which goes there by default, oddly. I want to remove that as well.

Any idea where I should look at in the codes? Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Under the Theme Options -> Theme Skimming -> Header . . .

    Check - Custom Styles
    Upload an Image - or - use full url to an existing image
    Check "Do not Repeat"
    Check "Middle of the Page" (or whatever your choice)
    Check "Hidden" for both Blog Title & Description
    Change "Height of Header Image" to suit.

    Save "Page Header"

    That should do it - but there are variations, of course!

    Sorry - re "Search"

    Go to Widgets -> RIGHT HEADER WIDGET -> place a blank text widget in there . . .

      You're welcome, Edmund

      The dashboard is full of options and some aren't the easiest to find - it's "Confusion" for me sometimes too

    If you want to remove the search bar at the top of it, try to look into front-page.php or index.php, or header.php and try to locate the php code for the search bar, also for the logo! They are in the same file unless the search bar is really in the sidebar, putting plain no text at the sidebar will do remove the existing widgets but that's a small tweak to be exact! I'm working wordpress for about years now! So, unlike before wordpress separated the files to pieces!

    To be easy just head in the Theme Options, i also tracked the code at some functions behind, in the code's easiest way find: functions.php and track down:

    add_action('suffusion_page_header', 'suffusion_display_main_navigation');

    remove it! But i don't know what side effects may it done in the admin's options.
