Customize Masthead

By suzabella, 9 years ago. Last reply by Magus, 9 years ago.

Hi,
Can anyone help me figure out how to add an image to the header background?
I wasn’t sure what “Masthead” means, but this is what I tried: (and doesn’t work, no image appears)

Dashboard:
Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Page > Masthead Background Image
When I select an image, it doesn’t show up anywhere.
I am using the Vantage home page layout with the slider and 3 column/images & text below.

My goal: to try to add a background image to the top nav header bar.

Thank you,
Suzabelle

    Hi Suzabella

    The masthead background image is used when you are using the default masthead layout. The image is not being shown because you are using the logo in menu option.

    To add a background image you will need to add some custom CSS. Please navigate to Appearance->Custom CSS and add the following

    .menu-menu-1-container{
  background-image: url("full path/to your/image");
}

    You will need to replace the URL contents with the full path to the image you want to use. To find this please navigate to Media and click on the image you will be using. In the Meta box on the right hand side will be the full URL.
    Copy this and paste it between the quotation marks in the CSS.

    Let us know how you get on
