3k2 header – help!

  • Hi there,
    I just switched to the 3k2 theme because I needed a 3 column design for my blog (www.sustainableapplepie.org). I made changes to the style.css file so that it now reads:

    #header {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    position: relative;
    height: 200px;
    background: #3371A3 transparent url(‘www.sustainableapplepie.org/images/header.jpg’);
    }

    But the header is not showing up. Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Hannah

  • When you specify position, I think you need to also specify at least one of top, bottom, left or right.

    So:

    position: relative;
    top: -10px;
    right: 20px;

    This would make it appear 10px hight than normally, and 20pc to the right.

    If not that, it’s possible that you need to specify width.

    First,
    You don’t need to do all that.
    Rename the original header image to something else to save it. Name your header image the same as the original was. Upload it. No need then to muck about with code. It’s called like the original.

    There’s also an error in your CSS:

    background: #3371A3 transparent url('www.sustainableapplepie.org/images/header.jpg');

    It looks like you’re trying to specify two background colours. Remove either the #3371A3, or transparent and you might find that your problem is solved.

    There is no image in the original CSS, it’s just a background. I tried taking Maerk’s instructions and have no had any success. Any other suggestions? Currently I’ve switched it back to the original so people know what site they are visiting.

    Oh I’ve found another error, how silly that I didn’t spot it earlier. If you want to reference a URL beginning www (i.e. any external URL) you MUST use https:// at the beginning, or it will think it’s a relative URL.

    Thanks! Now the header appears, I just have to do some tweaking to make it fit the page. SIGH. That is a huge weight lifted. I really appreciate it.

    I am trying to change my header for 3K2 in the same way, by adding an image. The method you use here, changing the stylesheet.css file to:
    background: #3371A3 transparent url(https://atomicgraphix.com/robots/wordpress/wp-content/Party.gif);
    }
    This only appears to work for me in Internet Explorer 5.2 ( the last MAC version), not in Firefox or Opera.
    Any help is appreciated!
