[Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] No Header/Background Images for Jetpack Mobile Theme

Try this — put your image (for the sake of this demo, we will call it “yourlogo.jpg”) in the /wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/minileven/theme/pub/minileven/inc directory. My logo is 240px wide by 45px high.

Now, change the header section of /wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/minileven/theme/pub/minileven/style.css (starting about 25% into the file) to read as follows /* AND TAKE NOTE OF MY COMMENTS so you can adjust various sizes to match your logo size*/. Remember, YMMV, so feel free to tweak away at your leisure :

/* =Header
———————————————– */

#branding hgroup {
background-color:#fff;
margin: 0 0 1.3em 0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 95px; /* THIS IS IMAGE HEIGHT PLUS 50px */
}

#site-title,
#site-description {
clear: none;
}

#site-title {
color: #111;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 240px; /* THIS SHOULD MATCH LOGO WIDTH*/
height: 45px; /* THIS SHOULD MATCH LOGO HEIGHT*/
background: url(inc/yourlogo.jpg) no-repeat;

}
#site-title a {
color: #111;
font-size: 1.5em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.2em;
}
#site-description {
color: #222;
font-size: 0.923em;
}

/* Header Image */
#header-img {
text-align: center;
}
header img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

Jeremy –

I’d like to expand this issue to more than just not using the header image specified in the child theme.

When I include a new header.php in the child theme, the plug-in still uses the header.php in the parent twenty twelve theme. The header.php in the child theme is ignored.

Thanks,

Dave

Best way to make this work with a child theme that does not support this feature is to:

1) Activate the parent theme
2) Set the header in the parent theme to the image you want
3) Reactivate the child theme
4) ???
5) Profit!

Worked for me at least.

We now fixed this issue. The fix will be included in the next Jetpack release.

Sounds great Jeremy. Do you know the release date?

I have also been waiting for this fix. Thanks for working on this particular issue.

Dave

@rayjon We’re currently beta testing, and we’ll release this new version soon, before WordPress 3.6 is released, so keep an eye on the Jetpack news blog. ??
