Note:
This code has to get into your child theme style.css
Thank you a lot! 🙂
Regard from Romania!
Still, I don’t understend. Look at my site now: http://gabrielraileanu.com/
I make a new director, expound-child and I have created a file called style.css. That containts:
/*
Theme Name: Expound
Description: An awesome magazine theme for your WordPress site. Responsive layout, post thumbnails support, featured posts and more.
Author: Konstantin Kovshenin
Author URI: http://kovshenin.com
Template: expound
Version: 1.9
*/
@import url("../expound/style.css");
/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
.site-title a {
background: url('http://i.imgur.com/gZ4ZXne.png') 0 0 no-repeat;
width: 300px;
height: 120px;
text-indent: -9999px;
}
But it dont’ works. 🙁

To clarify, which do you want to do:
- Link the header image to your homepage
- Change the header text to a header image
I want to link the header image to my homepage.

Did you set up a Child Theme?
I can’t. My director shows like this, and style.css contains only this code: `/*
Theme Name: Expound
Description: An awesome magazine theme for your WordPress site. Responsive layout, post thumbnails support, featured posts and more.
Author: Konstantin Kovshenin
Author URI: http://kovshenin.com
Template: expound
Version: 1.9
*/
@import url(“../expound/style.css”);
/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */
.site-title a {
background: url(‘i1.wp.com/gabrielraileanu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/cropped-ddoks2.jpg.png’) 0 0 no-repeat;
width: 1000px;
height: 120px;
text-indent: -9999px;
} `
If I activate expound-child, my banner and my right bar it’s not show.

I think in Child Themes you have to redo your theme settings – so if your banner and right bar were done in theme settings you need to redo them.
I don’t understand. Can you explain, please?
Looks like JetPack mobile is stuck “on” – start by deactivating ALL plugins. Clear any caching on your site and browser too.
I’m new at the CSS/HTML coding thing, but there seems to be a lot of confusion around adding header logos, resizing them, and linking them back to the main page. Here’s the fairly easy solution I figured from mining the forums:
1. Add your header image to your media gallery and then add this CSS code (or something like it) to your child theme:
.site-title a {
background: url(‘headerpicture.png’) 0 0 no-repeat;
width: 1000px;
height: 120px;
text-indent: -9999px;
}
2. You also need to add a Site Title to the basic Expound theme (but, I found, not tagline text). (To do so, go to Customize Theme–>Site Title & Tagline). The ‘text-indent: -9999px’ code will move your title off the screen). In my experience, the code in step #1 wasn’t working if I didn’t customize the theme and add the Site Title.
3. After steps #1 and #2 you should have a linked logo on your header page. If you want to resize the header banner–I found it was too large for my taste–you need to add this code to your child theme CSS:
.site-title-group {
margin: 20px 40px;
}
(The 20px refers to the height, and the 40px refers to the width).
4. Finally, I had trouble with the dimensions of my header.png file, so I added one final line of code to the .site-title script: ‘background-size: 50%’ before the close-bracket. That will resize your image within your new header dimensions and you can fool around with it to make it all fit.
I’m sure there are more experience people out there who may have an easier way to do all this, but I finally got things to where I like them using advice from about 4 different Expound forum threads.
I hope this is helpful.
I struggled with this too in the Genesis/Innovative child theme. I wanted a responsive, full-width, clickable header and as a non-techie had to piece together advice from various sources to work out a solution.
Here’s how I managed to do it in the end:
Responsive Headers for Genesis and especially the Innovative Theme
Course you’d have to adapt it to your own theme but I hope it helps anyone with similar aims.
