When I reverted back to the original set up (which is how I want the page to look), column 2 lost its column identity and spanned the width of the page, stretching the image, with no “Read More” link. The width of column 2’s image is within the parameters for a 2-column presentation. I can’t figure out what is going on. I don’t expect anyone to fix this, maybe just give me some ideas, steps to take to troubleshoot. * You won’t see what I’ve described on my website because it looked so awful I just reverted to one column. * Thanks. * [http://www.awakenedlives.com](http://www.awakenedlives.com) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Parabola] How to Center Navigation Bar?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-center-navigation-bar-2/) * [linbmcd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linbmcd/) * (@linbmcd) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-center-navigation-bar-2/#post-4781126) * Check this thread – it gives you the CSS code: * [Center Top Menu/Navigation Bar](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-top-menu-navigation-bar?replies=7) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Parabola] Can I overlay a subscription form on an image?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-overlay-a-subscription-form-on-an-image/) * Thread Starter [linbmcd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linbmcd/) * (@linbmcd) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-overlay-a-subscription-form-on-an-image/#post-4924047) * Wow, CrouchingBruin, what can I say but thank you for your generosity in providing such a detailed roadmap for me.

To visually extend my header, which already had a black background, I navigated to: Appearance >Parabola Settings>Color Settings>General>Background. * “Background” has four options, which have pop ups to identify them when you click on each field: Header background Main Site Background Footer Widgets Area Background Footer Background * I clicked on “Header Background” and changed the color to #00000, which is black. Voila! * I realize that this is not the same as “stretching” the header so the whole image takes up the width of the screen, but it accomplished what I needed. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Parabola] Modify header-extend to full width with CSS?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-header-extend-to-full-width-with-css/) * Thread Starter [linbmcd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linbmcd/) * (@linbmcd) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-header-extend-to-full-width-with-css/#post-4875821) * Hey SomewhatRounded, * Thanks for the effort: * > For linbmcd, you can make the background black to match with the image using > this: > #header-full { background: #000; } That way the image won’t get stretched > out, or have the nav links over your image text 🙂 * But unfortunately, that didn’t change a thing :(.

The header width didn’t change. Don’t know if you clicked on my link, but I use the presentation page and for the rest of the site, use two columns with sidebar on the right as the layout. * I appreciate your effort – any other ideas/thoughts? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Parabola] Can you put video in presentation column?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-you-put-video-in-presentation-column/) * [linbmcd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linbmcd/) * (@linbmcd) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-you-put-video-in-presentation-column/#post-4123533) * Fujiya, have you seen this thread which included a solution from Cryout Creations?

The CSS code you provided is global – do you know how I could set this so it only applied to certain pages or posts?

I dipped my toes into CSS – just barely – and figured out how to apply the shadow to the column images, using the column image property and keeping the shadow value the same as the slider images.
