   hi there,

   i want the header in this theme to be transparant / no color...
   in the dashboard there is no option to select no color... you have to choose a color but i want the header to be transparant.

   please, how do i do this?

   regards, anne

   You'll need to set some CSS and probably create an image with the transparency you want. Are you using a Child Theme or do you have the plugins, "Custom CSS" or "Jetpack"?

   You would need to modify the CSS code -- preferably in a child theme or custom CSS option or plugin. Does your theme have custom CSS set up?

   If you post a link to your site after you have the above ready to go, someone can help you with the specific code.

   EDIT - posted at the same time -- sorry for duplication.

   Try the Jetpack plugin as an alternative to a Child Theme for CSS changes. Jetpack has a section named Custom CSS which holds and applies your CSS modifications externally, so you don't edit the theme's files and compromise your changes when the theme updates.

   In the Custom CSS section of the dashboard, enter this;
   

   #branding {
    background: transparent;
   }

   If that doesn't work, try this;
   

   #branding {
    background: transparent !important;
   }

   it doesnt work... i already wrote this in the original css file... i think the wordpress backend/dashboard overrides this file... here you must choose a color in the theme options...

    It doesn't look like your Jetpack plugin is using its Custom CSS bit.
    Here's a guide for using the Custom CSS section of Jetpack http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/

    i installed jetpack, but as i click on the edit ccs link, i get the following message:

    You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

    so i installed 'custom css' plugin and this shows an empty field where i can put css... i put the code here again but still i see a white header...

    thanx again for your time

    Your webpage view-source:http://play.annenas-multimedia.nl/ (source) doesn't have the transparent CSS in it. I don't think that plugin is working correctly.
