Hello,

I am trying to work with the default header / menu bar in the Influence theme.

The transparency is not quite transparent enough and covers too much of the slider picture when I put the logo in.

Is there a way to make it More Transparent?

Thanks,
Michelle

    Hi Michelle

    This can be achieved with some custom CSS. If you do not already have a method for entering Custom CSS I would recommend this plugin.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    Navigate to the custom CSS Editor and enter the following

    .site-header {
        background-color: rgba(255,255,255, 0.86);
    }
    

    The final number in the brackets is the opacity of the header bar. If you lower this the header bar becomes more transparent.

    Let us know how you get on

    Okay, so I installed the plug in and I went to the ‘Custom CSS’ under Appearance and added the code then changed the last number to 0.06 – Just to see if it would show a drastic difference.

    But it looks like it didn’t change at all. http://74.220.219.133/~placeht9/

    Anything I missed?

    Thanks,

    Hi Michelle

    No, you haven’t missed anything. The setting is being overridden because of the order the CSS is parsed. Please change the original CSS to this

    .site-header {
        background-color: rgba(255,255,255, 0.86) !important;
    }
    

    Thanks
