Greetings!

I’m loving the Everest theme. I have questions about graphics in the menu and header.

First, I want to place an image in the far left and another in the far left of the menu, justified to the ends. Is that possible?

Second, I’d like to give the header a background image. Is that possible?

Thanks!

@Dignan17: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box to add background image in the header. In the following CSS, change the image_url with your image url.
#masthead { background: url("image_url") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent; }

About menu, you can add full image same way with by changing #masthead to #header-menu . But it will be difficult to add 2 image in the menu. For that you might need to hire developer to edit that.

Thanks Sakin! I’ll try that for the header.

As for the menu, I’ll see what I can fumble through in the code, but I’m not looking for a repeating background image, I’m looking to place images in the left and right sides of the bar. I don’t foresee it messing with the page too much, except for when it’s in mobile device mode, where the word “Menu” gets pushed to the left and the little hamburger icon is on the right.

So I guess there’s not custom CSS for inserting those images?

How about an alternative: is there a way that instead of having that margin at the very top of the screen, I could replace that with a full-width bar? Is that possible? I could put the images I want at the left and right of that bar.

@Dignan17: Looks like you want advance customization. So, I am bit confused.

[Dignan17]

I guess I might. I’ll try to work up a rough image of what I’m talking about…

[Dignan17]

Here are three images.

This is what the site looks like now:

This is what I’m hoping for:

And this is what I’d settle for:

Notice that the right-hand side of the menu (in image 2) and the very top (in image 3) have a gray box.

This look matches the organization’s print materials.

@Dignan17: Change your menu background color to #a7a9ab. Upload your red image in your site and the add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box. In the following CSS, replace image_url with your red image url.

#header-menu #access {
    background: url("image_url") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #005ca9;
    width: 98%;
}

[Dignan17]

Thanks, Sakin! I’ll try that.

In the meantime, I’ve tried the header image code you gave me and it’s not working. Nothing at all seems to happen…

[Dignan17]

Scratch that. I figured out what I was doing wrong. That code works perfectly. I still haven’t tried the menu changes but that’s coming.

@Dignan17: Nice 🙂

Sorry to jump in on your topic but how do I create a new topic in the forum. It says you have to be logged in to post but I am and still can’t find where to post?

[Dignan17]

It’s a weird system. If you click out of any post it takes you to a place where you can’t create a new topic. It’s really annoying. I usually have to navigate in from the beginning to get to a place where I can make a new post, or I create a shortcut to the forum I want to use.

At the top of the screen, click on “Support,” then “Access Forums,” then choose the forum you want, then go all the way to the bottom of the forum and you’ll see the text boxes you use to create a new topic. I know, it doesn’t work like any other forum system I’ve seen before, and I wouldn’t want to use it in my site, but that’s how to do it.

Thanks I tried that and still can’t post. I went in to Catch everest pro forum and scrolled to the bottom. Nothing is there. Can someone send me a link to the page with the text box. I tried everything and have posted before. This is nuts!

[interiorsalvage]

Hi Dignan17 BTW Thanks for trying to help. Didn’t mean to seem rude but I am really going nuts! My site is not working and I can’t even ask a question.

[Dignan17]

No problem! If you’re not seeing it there, I really don’t know what could be going on…

@interiorsalvage: Sorry for the trouble. The cache is working little wired. You need to clear the cache in your browser and then login. Then you can trying get the link to Catch Everest Pro theme at http://catchthemes.com/forum/catch-everest-pro-premium/
