Header Element help (page header conversion)
3 replies · Started by Mitchell on September 8, 2018
Hello! I seem to be having trouble figuring out how to convert a Page Header (using GP Premium 1.6.2) a Header Element using GP 1.7.2. I am able to figure out all the options except for the image.
In 1.6.2 I was using the 'Image' tab and that is all my header consisted of was the image itself, no content. In 1.7.2 all I can seem to find as an option for images is 'background image' and the image itself only appears if I put in content, which I don't intend on doing, and not in it's full size unless there is content there.
Am I missing a setting or option to get this to work in 1.7.2 how it was behaving in 1.6.2?
Thanks!
Hi there,
both Page Headers and the new Header Element required their to be some content for the background image to display. You can place this in the content area - its a HTML comment so won't display:
<!-- HTML Comment call me what you like -->
Unfortunately that is not the case, nor did it help me... the suggested had no impact on the header image or section.
To further illustrate, below are links to the the 'Image' and 'Content' tabs from the 1.6.2 setting page for that 'Page Header'. You will see that the content section is blank.
Also provided is what it appears like as a result on the 1.6.2 setup. When I set it up as similar as I can to the 1.6.2 settings the page header does not appear at all.

The option to upload an image only was removed in Elements, as it was a very old option that doesn't make much sense in Page Heros/Headers.
If you want to include a static image only, you're much better off using a featured image: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-featured-images/
