Use the plugin with Cafe Pro

    Hey Robin,
    I couldn’t wait to try your plugin out after I found it a couple of weeks ago! I’d like to use it on a site that uses the Cafe Pro theme, but instead of showing up in place of the header images on the inner pages, it’s showing up below it and the original header remains the same. I also tried the plugin WP Display header and it didn’t work either, but in a completely different way – it just swapped out the logo image that overlays the header image, so something about that header image is different than the standard. Can you help with this?

    My site is password protected on a flywheel staging site, so if you need to see it I’ll have to send you the password separately.

    Thanks so much!
    Fran

    Hey Fran! Cafe Pro adds the header image to a different location than my plugin (or probably any other theme/plugin, actually, as it is adding it to a uniquely created div). I think it’s doable to use my plugin with the theme but will take some elbow grease to tweak the theme.

    For instance, I’d start with moving $('.site-header').addClass('front-page-header'); from the global.js to the home.js, which will stop the theme header image from showing outside of the front page. Then you can tinker with the positioning on the .site-header element in your CSS–change it to absolute for a test, and tweak the z-index values (and ditch the white background). You’ll have to go back and override it with more specific rules for the front page, and the primary nav will probably require some more work, too, depending on what you’re wanting from it, but that seems to get things to start lining up for me on a test install. Hope that helps!

    Thanks, Robin. Unfortunately, you’re talking way over my head with the js tweaks. I think I’ll just have to live with it for now and try your plugin out on a more basic theme. ??

    Love your site, by the way.
    Thanks again,
    Fran

    Thank you, Fran. Yes, although the plugin will work with most of the Genesis themes, some of them will need more tweaking than others to get the desired effect. Cafe Pro is a gorgeous theme, but definitely has some unique things going on in it, so it would require more work.
