    what’s the best way to have the blog list in Dante display thumbnails for posts that i’ve imported from another WP site? I’ve tried the WP Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin, but no luck with that…

    thanks so much for your help ‘o’

    Hi

    You will need to have either a featured image set or a thumbnail image in the page meta options.

    thanks so much Kyle ‘o’

    i’ll also ask you a different question…tell me if I need to create a new support post for it ;o

    in your demo, the header is transparent so that the main navigation is superimposed over the animated slider

    this effect is very important to me, but most importantly, I’d like to place a (static) background image in the entire header (hopefully on a per page basis) so that main navigation is superimposed over that (and insert a slider beneath the header if i choose to)

    the demo content imports with the “naked home page” NOT having a transparent header – i’ve tried changing the transparency slider to 0 in the theme header options using the appropriate header version that the options indicate will accept transparency [Header OpacitySelect the percentage opacity of the header. NOTE: This is only for Headers 3/4/5.], but that doesn’t have any effect

    sorry, but I’m new to WP and not really a developer, so i appreciate the support – I really need to move forward here / I’ve been bouncing from theme to theme and I’m REALLY hoping to stick with Dante ;o;o;o

    Hi Kyle –

    making the header transparent is not a priority for me

    being able to place a background image in the header area (nit the page background is a PRIORITY

    i’d like to be able to do both ultimately

    thanks again ;o

    thanks again Kyle!

    hoping you didn’t miss my subsequent post

    what’s the best way for me to place a backgound image in the header so that the main navigation etc.. sits on top of that instead of a background color?

    You would need to add the background image to the #header. For e.g.

    .page-id-7606 #header {
  background: url("http://5polmhwz1w47vy1h4f015h97s.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/slider_bkg_nebula.jpg");
}

    thanks for the super quick response, wherever you are ‘o’

    one last question for now…where do I enter that code that you posted?

    In theme options > custom css/js

    You will need to change the image url for your images.

    hey Kyle 0

    since I need to enter that .css code to create the transparency, what is the function of the slider control for header transparency in the header options?

    thank you

    Hi, the css Kyle gave you does not add transparency, it adds a background. Can you specify what you mean?

    Hi Melanie – thanks for responding to my question ;o

    i initially asked (post 3 in this thread) how to replicate the transparency that appears in your demo on the “naked header” home page example. Kyle (in post 4) referred me to your online documentation for that –
    http://support.swiftideas.net/knowledgebase/replicating-the-demo-naked-header-example/

    my question regarding transparency in the header section of Dante is : : :
    what is the purpose and function of the transparency value slider option in the Header tab of the Theme options? **see attachment

    if I need to enter additional .css into the Custom CSS/JS field in Theme Options in order to achieve transparency, what is then the function of that slider? Will it be functional after I enter the code?

    sorry for bringing up multiple issues in one ticket ‘o’

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

    my priority now is to be able to place a background image in the header area so that the navigation and logo appear above that image (hopefully including the top header area/bar/widget area) – hopefully the code that Kyle gave me (post 7) will allow that

    .page-id-7606 #header {background: url(“http://5polmhwz1w47vy1h4f015h97s.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/slider_bkg_nebula.jpg”);}

    there’s a period preceding the page ID in his example, should it be there?
    can I do this for multiple pages and do i need to specify the page ID and insert this code for each page that I want to display a background image in the header?

    is there anything else I need to do to place a background image into the header other than adding this code?
    do i need to change any other settings?
    for instance, do i ALSO need to apply the transparency CSS to allow the background image to appear in the header, or change any other settings or options?

    finally, can I insert multiple custom CSS definitions into the Custom CSS/JS field in Theme Options?
    if so, do i insert the code in any particular way or order

    thanks so much for your help

    there’s a period preceding the page ID in his example, should it be there?
    –– yes, that indicates a class

    can I do this for multiple pages and do i need to specify the page ID and insert this code for each page that I want to display a background image in the header?
    –– yes, copy paste the code and change the ID

    is there anything else I need to do to place a background image into the header other than adding this code?
    –– no, if anything goes wrong let us know and we’ll take a look tho

    do i need to change any other settings?
    –– see above

    for instance, do i ALSO need to apply the transparency CSS to allow the background image to appear in the header, or change any other settings or options?
    –– see above

    finally, can I insert multiple custom CSS definitions into the Custom CSS/JS field in Theme Options?
    –– yes, in fact all of the css you want to modify.

    if so, do i insert the code in any particular way or order
    –– hierarchically css placed lower will overwrite css placed further above. So if you define e.g. the font size of the same element twice in your custom css section, the lower css will take effect.

    Cheers
