no header image on home

Hi Tom,
I moved my homepage from localhost to domainserver manually. I want to have a full width background on homepage while nearly all other pages have the same header image. I solved it on local host but I do not remember how I did it.
In hook wp_head I use php:
<meta name="specificfeeds-verification-code" content="ADNMEsxTAk3PnBgDNVfz"/>
<?php if ( is_home() ) : ?>
<img src='wp-content/uploads/bgimage/rotate.php' id='ktgbild' alt=''>
<?php endif; ?>CSS is as follows
#ktgbild {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
/* Preserve aspet ratio */
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}The header background is introduced by Appearance, Backgrund Image, Header Area (my Admin is in German - mught be that the name are different).
How can I solve the problem???
Hi there,
First, wp_head is for scripts only - no HTML. You want to add the HTML into the Before Header hook.
Then, instead of this: wp-content/uploads/bgimage/rotate.php
You need to add the full URL: http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/bgimage/rotate.php
That should get you closer :)
Hi Tom,
I followed your advice. But nothing changed. To understand what I mean here is the URL
http://huppenbroich.de/spd-roetgen/
On home page you see the overlay of the header on top of the full page. I managed somehow to let it disappear. But unfortunately I do not remember. I appreciate your advice.
I'm not sure what you mean?
I'm seeing a header with a background image set - all looks normal?
Maybe something like this will work:
.home .site-header {
background: transparent;
}Hi Tom,
it works perfectly --- many thanks.
You're welcome :)
