Esmi,
As I already said, I am working in a child theme, but thanks for your insight.

Hi Christine,
Thanks for responding. The white box on the rest of my pages is 775px – much narrower than this. Also, repositioning the div on the header.php is the 1st thing I tried. It didn’t work. Basically it just pushes everything else down. I am fairly sure it is something that needs to be tackled in the css page. The problem is getting it to overlap with the border image.

Any other ideas?
Thanks again,
Carly

Okay, created a child theme. Any suggestions on where to go to learn how to create the corner accents?

Esmi –
I figured it out and it WORKED!!! Thank you sooooo much! Hurray. You’re a genius!

THat sounds like a great idea! How do I switch it to absolute?

Esmi,
Thanks for the response. Sadly the url is correct and the image is there in the image folder, right where it should be. I just changed it back to the original “kubrickbgcolor.jpeg” just to be sure, and that one isn’t working either. Something is blocking it elsewhere. Argh. So frustrating. I was staring at code all weekend and just can’t figure this out.

Peter,
Where are you looking? I can’t find the “display: none; in #headerimg” you mentioned. For the most part the style sheet is as it came in the packaged wordpress folder. I did change some values and also the font groups/background colors, but this should not have (and never has before) had any bearing on the problem I’m having now. Are you very familiar with the Kubrick theme package?

Do you know where, specifically (as in which document), the command is that tells the site where to pull the header from?

I know I’ve read something in one of these forums that has the exact command I’m looking for. It basically told the the headerimage to die, but I can’t remember where it was.

He Peter,
See my above comment. I don’t think the problem is related to css anymore. Any ideas ?

OKay, so I now I have a new problem. I started from scratch, modifying a new (clean) header.php page. I deleted the two php icons on the design view, dropped in my sliced, linked header into the existing div and then reloaded the whole thing to the site. The proper page formating returned, but my header from the header.php is no longer visible on the page (I also deleted the kubrickheader.jpg file from the image file).

What to do now?! This seems like an easier problem to fix. I just need to tell the code to override whatever command tells it to used the normal header image so that it uses what I inserted into the header.php instead. Anyone know how to do this?

THanks again.

pboosten –

The problem is that the styling on the wordpress page is different than the rest of the pages and I don’t know how to make it from scratch. That is why I used the Kubrick theme and just tried to make minor modifications so that it matches the look of the rest of my site. I’ve done this is the past without problem, but for some reason this time, putting in my own header messed with the rest of the page’s format. The CSS that I embedded on the other pages within the site won’t correct this. I don’t know how to create the endless white box (based on jpegs from the default theme image folder) that goes beneath the text on the blog page or how to get the text centered back beneath the header. I just need the code to do both of these things and also be told where to insert that code. Hope this makes sense. @figaro, perhaps you can help? You seem to know a lot about this issue…
Thanks to both of you!!

Thanks for the response Peter!
Hope I don’t sound too daft (I obviously know very little about what I’m doing) but is the code you posted meant to go onto the style.css page to correct the problem or are you just showing me what I did wrong?
Thank you again for your help.
