Thanks. I’ve followed your instructions and got the following information:

memory_limit 128M
max_execution_time 30

@astroknot I don’t actually mind the difference as I think it’s nice to have a large image when someone first accesses the site, but then the smaller header doesn’t detract from the content on the other pages. However, there should be an option to choose different images because, at the moment, the small, thin headers turn out to be a weird crop of the large image which looks ridiculous.
I’m playing with the code but having difficulty adding a second header in my child theme. Something in the main theme seems to be over-riding my changes but I can’t locate what it is.

Apologies that I can’t help but this is something I am also trying to do (and have spent dozens of hours trying to achieve).
None of the ‘usual’ bits of code seem to work.
I can register the extra widget area (or register a whole new set of three) but then only one ever actually appears on the live site. It’s all code I’ve used before successfully so I’m assuming there’s some conflict in this theme. Struggling to find it though.

@anevins, I agree. I think having a separate option would be a better (and cleaner) solution.

Uploading the header image is in Appearance – Header – Header Media. That’s the location where both the header video and the static image are uploaded.
The static image uploaded there would still need to exist as it replaces the video on mobile devices and slow connections.
But perhaps an alternative could be defined for the other pages?
Guessing I’d need to set up a child theme…

Andrew, thanks for putting in some work on this and you’ve sorted my logo issue which is great.
I admit to being a little confused as to why the theme requests a 2000 x 1200 header image but then doesn’t use that size for the majority of headers, but I’m sure the theme developers had their reasons! Perhaps if I make my static image an image of two ‘halves’ so it makes sense both as a whole and with only the top half visible…hmm, will have to play around…

Thanks. I’m not using a child theme. It’s just a straightforward install of twenty seventeen.
It’s got a CSS modification section so that makes it easier!

That’s sorted the logo. Great.

There’s very little to see.
Ignore actual text and images. I’m just creating a framework to show the trustees for approval before putting in the hours transferring content from the current site.
