HUGE default image and Pure & Simple blurb

Hello @stbedesantafe,
You can replace the banner image with your image Going to Admin area of your site then to Appearance-> Widgets -> Banner -> Select Text Widget and add the path to your image url as attached in the link:

This should be the trick to repalce default image.
Let me know how it goes.

That worked for the image but how do I change the copy?

WELCOME to PURE & SIMPLE

Explore my new WordPress theme called Pure & Simple…a theme built for professional bloggers with beautiful subtle features that gives you more when you are serious about your content! Unlimited colours, several blog styles, Jetpack ready with a gorgeous portfolio, mobile responsive…and much more!

Never mind — I figured it out. Thanks!

Ok, that works for the image, although it doesn’t make sense that I don’t see your image and can not simply delete your image. If it appeared in the Banner Widget as the default image, I would have figured out how to do this part of my question.

Now how do I get rid of the Pure & Simple blurb under the banner?

Hello @all,
You need to edit the theme files ti to get rid of the Pure & Simple blurb under the banner. Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.

An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.

Add the CSS code below:

#cta {
      display: none !important;
}

Let me know how it works.
Regards.

With all due respect, you don’t need to do any of that. Just drag an empty text widget into the “Call to Action” section of the widgets. Fill or leave empty as you prefer.

Thanks, kerrigo. And I found I can do the same thing to get rid of the HUGE image. I don’t need an image in that spot as I have a “banner image” in the Header.

What about “Hide default content from theme”? Appearance > Customize > Basic Settings – at the very bottom.

I just made a video to show you how to remove the default content. The Mountains.
