In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] Turn off gradient on main page onlyInteresting. Thank you for persevering. It’s been up and now down again since then. I’ve contacted my Host about the DNS and also reset them to defaults in case something strange was happening.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] Turn off gradient on main page onlyIt’s now not loading for me again either. It’s been down about 20 minutes straight now in Chrome including the dashboard.
I’ve just tried with Tor Browser on the desktop and it’s loaded fine. Also as usual Safari on my phone is loading it too. Are you using Chrome as well?
I installed a plugin to get an SSL certificate and I’m wondering if perhaps that has caused some issues however I’m not sure how to revert back to not having one.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] Turn off gradient on main page onlyThanks, I’ve been able to access the site with no problem this afternoon so I’m still concerned as to what’s not working! I’ve tried the above link to http://www.danhillman.co.uk a couple of times now and it’s loaded for me.
I agree about the header image documentation. The way it transitions from a large image on the landing page into the banner seems a bit silly. I’m getting used the workaround though. Darkening the gradient into a solid semi-transparent grey block and dealing with the mobile site having the block cover the whole image is a price I’m willing to pay.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] Turn off gradient on main page onlyThank you, sure I get that in theory. I’m using a shot of me and no graphics or logos on it and i think it suits the flow of the site quite well. It’s a shame there’s no simple way to edit css parameters on a page by page basis easily but the whole WordPress architecture seems to be a compromise of simple editing meaning you’re kinda railroaded a bit.
I think I’m going to have to suck up the impact it has on the mobile site or the sake of legibility. There’s some other issues like adblockers killing the social links as well so this is small potatoes in comparison to that issue.
I’ve also had issues with the site loading times and I’m not entirely sure what the problem is. Seems others have had the issue too. It’s working fine on mobile.
