In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012WPyogi – thanks for everything you’ve done and if nothing else happened I would be happy.
But I’ve got the WP bug now.
My question is this:
it seems to me that the background image is associated with H1. So I could probably allow more room for it by adjusting the padding (at a guess). This would create a big gap between H1 and H2 (the title and subtitle).
What would be great though would be to have H1 and H2 next to each other as they are normally and both in the centre of the image. Something like this
+—+
H1 Image
h2 here
+ —+I’m guessing to do that I either change the background image so it sits on top of everything else somehow, of don’t associate it with H1 but with something else.
I know this is a pain, and you’ve helped loads already. I can keep googling if you have other stuff to do and I would still be really thankful for the help you gave me to get where I am. But am I thinking on the right lines?
The style.css now looks like this BTW

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012maybe 100×100 would be good and a round number 🙂

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012that should be “not sure” not “now sure”

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012now sure thats 200px tall – I resampled it to 70 square (or almost that, its not quite square)

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012maybe 150×150, but would be good to know how to adjust it

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012one last thing (as SJ used to say)… how do I adjust the size of the header (so I can get a decent thumbnail)

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012got it – it was the parsing of the quotes!
when I put a quote in manually it worked

(hey, theres a limit to what photoshop can do…)
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012this is in style.css:
/*
Theme Name: twentytwelvechild
Description: Child theme for the twentytwelve theme
Author: Nick Evans
Template: twentytwelve
*/
@import url(“../twentytwelve/style.css”);
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.site-header h1 {
background: url('http://managingdelivery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/nickevans.jpg') no-repeat right top;}

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012ok, well before I said I would stop doing things I did do what you asked. Loaded it in media uploader and updated style.css with the path from media uploader.
I’ll just check whats in style.css and then see if I can access direct with a browser…

In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012but its up there now. FYI all the files dotted around the server called nickevans.jpg are the same – I thought WP needed an absolue path name
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012BTW I put the ftp in there – I ftped the file manually to the server and that where the ftp client told me it was. Didnt event know there *was* a media library! 🙁
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: add thumbnail to header in 2012ah – I copied the path from the media library before I saw the second post 🙂
Maybe we’re getting in each others way – I’ll stop doing things – if you want me to, say so
