• Hi I would like to put a simple form or some test on top of the header image. I can’t see how I can put any additional text other than site name and tagline.

    Is it possible to put a form shortcut in the middle of the image?

    Thanks

    Does anyone know if it is possible to put a widget or a text box or as I really want to achieve a small form on top of the header image?

    Perhaps I need to use a different theame.

    I’m keen to use this theame because it has great comparability with plugins.

    Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

    definitely doable. I would recomend researching on creating custom page templates for wordpress, I would then create and register a new front page that mimics the original front page. I would then reference the form plugin in my new front page above the wp logic that controls header image.

    You need to work with the <div class=”site-branding”> in your child theme.

    Put your form in that area and style it so you get it the way you want.

    The tricky part will be getting this to work responsively.

    Does it actually need to be a child theme? I can see I can move the Site title and the site description around and position where I like. Can I add extra lines of text?

    Can I put a shortcut to my simple one field form in there and have it display the simple form?

    I think what I am asking to do is simple but I don’t understand why the feels complicated to achieve

    It may be simple to ask, but it requires the use of a plugin and changes to the theme’s templates file, with adjustments being made to the CSS and potentially JS.

    Our advice is to use a Child Theme to prevent your changes from being deleted every time the theme or WordPress core has an update, and to help us support your site in future. It would be bad advice not to use a Child Theme and, for the sake of future viewers of this thread, I’m not comfortable supporting bad advice.
