header not transparent issue 1.83

Hi,

The header is still transparent if you use the old header with the slider, nothing changed there.

For the new header, our goal is to introduce an option that lets you make the header transparent on whatever page you like, regardless if you use the hero slider/image. This will be available in the next update.

Hi,
I also encountered this problem.
Is there anything to do in the meantime for the next update?
Thanks

Hi @ishay,

You can revert back the old header layout by doing these steps:

1. Visit yoursite[DOT]com/wp-admin/options.php
2. Find the sydney-update-header line using your web browser’s finder menu (CTRL+F)
3. Change the value to 0 and save. Here is your visual guide for this.

If the header upgrader notice still appearing in dashboard, you can simply dismiss it.

It’s work.
Thanks

It didn’t work on my side… the funny thing is that options.php won’t let me update the value. I save, no error, but value not saved, still “1”.
I had to update it directly in the database using phpmyadmin..

Anyway, it works now, thanks for the workaround.
I am waiting for the update. I think the transparent feature is mandatory to continue using this theme.

Although the latest update allows pages to have transparent headers like before, by selecting the option for each page, other pages, such as posts can’t be set. How does one set transparency as the default menu bar choice globally?

Hi @dbyolton,

Try adding this CSS code to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS from dashboard.

@media only screen and (min-width: 1025px) {
  .main-header,
  .main-header:not(.sticky-active) {
    position: sticky;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: transparent !important;
  }

  .sydney-hero-area {
    margin-top: -190px;
  }
}

Hope that helps.

Thank you Kharis! Reverting back to the old header layout worked perfectly to restore my header to the pre-update version.

I updated the new menu, but suddenly I had large margins on each page.
Why?
Thank you
