Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can use the private information field.

Let me know 🙂

[Pops]

Yes please see private info…..its the ‘about’ page I am trying for. But once I have that i will be okay for the rest.

Thank you

Can you clear and disable your caching plugin first?

[Pops]

Thank you, I have purged and disabled 🙂

I’m only seeing a background color for that page hero:

Can you confirm that you’ve uploaded a background image?

Also try removing the background color as well.

Hi there

do you have any other Header Elements in your site?

If so check to make sure there is not another header element that would also be set to display there eg. set to Entire Site or Pages > All Pages.

[Pops]

Got it!!!

Yes I can confirm there was one from the imported site.

Sorted now. That is so great , thank you so much.

Will close this topic now 🙂

Glad to be of help.

Hi again, SO sorry to bother you again. But I have now got the header on my About page and have followed exactly ther same protocols for the ‘Bolg’ page. But somehow I cant get the image to show on that page!!!

I am stumped!!!!!

[David]

The Blog ( ie.the page set to display latest posts ) is not a standard post type – so things like the Content Title and Featured Image ( or anything in a Meta Box ) is simply ignored by WordPress.

Instead you will need to create a new Header Element specifically for the Blog – and set a Custom Background image.

Make sure the Blog is not included in any other Header Element you have already created to stop the same conflict that happened before.

[Pops]

Hji,

I have done that, exactly the same settings as ‘about’ and ‘Contact’ pages…..and have the ‘blog’ element showing only on blog as it were.

But I cant get the image to show.

The only element that might include blog is the ‘GenerateBlocks Full Page Width’ but that is displaying on all pages and the about and contact show the uploaded images.

Stuck really 🙂

I replied to your new topic 🙂
