 * I have uploaded an image that has a hole cut out of it and is 100% transparent
   png file
    When I upload the image it shows a grey area where the cut out is suppose
   to be. Any suggestions where I have gone wrond here.

 * Maybe the CSS of the theme has set that grey background.

 * Hi Andrew – thanks for the prompt reply.
    could it be that the image is being
   loaded into a defaulr header div. from header.php file. Like this.
 *     ```
       <div id="logo">
               	<a href="<?php echo home_url('/'); ?>"><img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php if(function_exists('get_custom_header')) { echo get_custom_header() -> width;} else { echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH;} ?>" height="<?php if(function_exists('get_custom_header')) { echo get_custom_header() -> height;} else { echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT;} ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a>
                   </div><!-- end of #logo -->
       ```

 * I don’t know whether it is CSS that’s causing the grey, it was just a hypothesis
   because we can’t see the issue and the webpage it resides in.

 * OK – so I am now thinking of a work around by using z0index to layer over the
   header image with the cutout and animay=ted gif.
 * How would I use two images within the same div but also using the same tag like`#
   logo {...`
    I have inserted into `<div id="gif"></div>` into the header.php already.
   it is the tag to logo thatI am haveing trouble with now. Any thoughts?
