    Hello,

    I am trying to make my site have a semi-transparent header. I have succeeded on the home page, but none of the other pages will comply (nor do they have an option to do so). I am using the Tesseract theme by Tyler Moore.

    See for yourself:
    obesityhabits.com

    I have absolutely no idea what to do here. Please help. Please.

    But the CSS that is used is prepended with a class that is only found on the Home page:

    .home .site-header,
    .home .main-navigation ul ul a {
        [...]
    }

    Try removing that class (‘.home’)

    Do you know how you added it in to begin with? Maybe you didn’t, maybe it was an option in the theme, I’m asking because I don’t know how you made the header semi-transparent to begin with.

    It was an option on the dashboard in “Customize” – “Header Options” – “Header Colors.” I have been tearing apart my control panel for the last hour trying to figure this out but no luck.

    Is it possible that it cannot be done?

    It is entirely possible and we can instruct you how to do so, but before we do can you triple-check that there’s not an option (in the dashboard) to add this opacity on other pages?

    Install a Custom CSS plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    Then in its section of the dashboard, https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/screenshots/ , add the following code:

    .site-header {
        background: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.15);
        left: 0;
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
    }

    You should contact your theme author to ask about the theme options really, http://support.tyler.com/ . The author has chosen not to distribute the theme on WordPress.org so it’s not our place to support it.

    It worked!!!! Your the best!

    hi there, im using the same template. can you please let me know how i can have bigger logo in the header as its so small when i put it on. and also make it responsive page for mobiles as well.
    please help me!!!

    Andrew, simple custom CSS plugin worked, it colors the other pages header, not the home page header. If you change the color and opacity of the home page change the code. Use a “hex color rgb converter” to get the rgb numbers for the code.
    I use #828282 and code becomes

    .site-header {
    background: rgba(130, 130, 130, 0.20);
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    }

    the 0.20 opacity you have to visually adjust.

    Tnx Andrew!

    Andrew,
    After 3 days of searching the web, to make all headers translucent I came across this page! I used your CSS code with the Simple Custom CSS on the Tesseract Theme for my website and it worked great!! All I did was change the rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.15); to 0 and worked like a charm!!

    I want to thank you for your time and contribution to help people like me.

    You rock!!

    @curtisbarclay Can you explain exactly what you did to make your header transparent? I don’t quite understand what you meant when you said, “All I did was change the rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.15); to 0” When I tried replacing 26,26,26,0.15 with 0 then my header disappeared completely. Not sure what I missed.

    Thanks!
