We are developing our Vantage template into a community web magazine. Is it possible to use the real estate inside the master head to hold a static ad image, centered between the logo and social widget?
Also, how can I change the social widget from horizontal to vertical?
Thanks in advance!
Helloooooooo Support? It’s been a little while, is anyone in there???

I’ve read Forum Thread Prioritization… in other words, I need to pay more for better service. What is the threshold amount to generate a better response time?
Meanwhile, 5 days and 10 hours later still waiting for just an answer…
Hi iNBishkek
Thanks for the wait. We offer prioritised support for premium users paying $15 or more. You can review this offering from Appearance > Premium Upgrade.
As widgets are added to the header widget area they will automatically display inline, one next to the next. It’s unfortunately not possible to stack the social icons vertically. I’ve seen a few similar plugins but haven’t yet seen this as a feature. That doesn’t mean though that there isn’t a plugin out there that could do this for you.
To add your header image you could use either the Image (PB) widget or the Visual Editor widget which has an Add Media button: http://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/. If you go-ahead and add the image I can then try assist with positioning it in the manner you require. Just let me know when it’s up.
Thanks for the reply. Trying to setup this template as magazine site. There are some out there that do the job (MH for example) quite well, but I do not want to make the move now that I have become comfortable with Vantage, and I believe that it will be a site that you will want to feature to demonstrate its capabilities.
Now, I had already tried to insert the Visual Editor widget into the header before posting in the forum. I navigated to the widgets.php, inserted the VE with the image but nothing happened. Now, I have inserted the SO Image widget and it works, but it is not centered in the frame correctly, so I guess this is where you come in with CSS magic that I can insert into my child theme.
An additional request/question. Is there a way to have different header banners on different pages? If it is not possible in this theme’s premium features, what should I look into to make this possible in Vantage? Will it require some customization on your part? If so how much will it cost to add this custom feature to our template?
And finally (for now…) I need to insert a line of code to link Google+ to the website’s homepage. Can you point to where I can make this modification and where I can place it, so it does not screw things up.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for all your feedback. We do appreciate it.
Header Image
I’d need to see the image in the header to help with alignment.
Header Image Per Page
You could perhaps look for a plugin to do this. I unfortunately haven’t used one in the past. This could be developed pretty easily but is not something we offer. We recommend https://codeable.io/ in this instance.
Google Plus Script
For the Google + script you might try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-and-footer-scripts/ to help you insert that.
Thanks for the tips and links.
Header image in: http://www.inbishkek.com/ – The header image is vertically centered but needs to move more to the left.
One little glitch that has manifested itself after I placed the Visual Editor in the header has popped up, not sure if it is a side effect; In Chrome the Facebook timeline is gone, in Opera, Firefox and Explorer it is visible, but not functioning as before. Twitter seems to be OK as are the image widgets that are used to separate the Social Timelines. BTW, i mover the widgets around, tried Facebook Fan Box widget, nothing helped.
I checked this issue on 4 different PC’s, 3 of which had never logged in to the page before but have up to date browsers and one of them is brand new with new browser installations.
I used Page Builder to create the default site layout, the right side area where the widgets are placed is set at 30% (300 P) width. Also the Facebook by WebLizar widget seems to have lost some its features in the bottom, button and pictures – there were 10 before, now 5 or 6 – weird!
I have not removed the header image yet, waiting to hear your opinion.
You can try moving you header sidebar over to the left by adding the following to a Custom CSS module and editing as required:
header#masthead hgroup #header-sidebar { right: 40px; }It looks like you’ve made edits to that selector in your stylesheet. Those edits will be lost during theme updates. Custom CSS or a child theme must be used. Our Custom CSS tutorial can be found here: https://siteorigin.com/basics/modifying-theme-design-with-custom-css/.
Your Facebook timeline appears correctly in OS X Chrome on my side. If you run Ad Blocker your Facebook header image will be removed though. Check the extensions that are running in Chrome as this might be the cause.
Not quite sure regarding your last question. If you can clarify that I’ll try assist.
No, that is not what I wanted, it moved the Vantage Social Media widget and the Site Origin Image widgets, I want to move and center the Site Origin Image between the Logo and the Social Media widget.
Give this a try. Adjust the 50px figure as required.
/* Header Image */ header#masthead #header-sidebar .widget_sow-image { margin-right: 50px; } /* Vantage increase support text breakpoint */ @media screen and (max-width: 960px) { body.responsive header#masthead hgroup .support-text, body.responsive header#masthead hgroup #header-sidebar { position: static; display: block; margin-top: 30px; max-width: 100%; } }Nope… I placed it at 50, adjusted to 100 then 150 and it remains in the original position.
One more time:
/* Header Image */ header#masthead #header-sidebar .widget_sow-image img { margin-right: 50px; } /* Vantage increase support text breakpoint */ @media screen and (max-width: 960px) { body.responsive header#masthead hgroup .support-text, body.responsive header#masthead hgroup #header-sidebar { position: static; display: block; margin-top: 30px; max-width: 100%; } }Perfect! Thanks!!!
For sure.
