Hi there,

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

Let me know :)

Hello Leo,

this Page is not public yet.
But which of the two Methods should we use, to make such a Hero?

Hi Sonja,

The header element method is out of date, you should use the block element - page hero.

Hi Ying,

with Header Element Method, you mean this, right? : https://docs.generatepress.com/article/how-to-create-a-page-hero/

If this is out of date, then this should be mentioned in the docs. Otherwise this will lead to confusion.

If it's just a picture (without any text content) then have you considered just using the featured image instead?

It should be a Hero with full witdh.

I would say the easiest method would be to create a block element hook:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-hook/

Then add the image using the WP core image block or GP's image block - doesn't matter.

Then display it using the after_header hook.

Hmm, and why should I not use a Page Hero? I thought that this would be a textbook example for a page hero?

Page heros usually have text content on top of the image.

This would make the image a background image that isn't responsive.

If you simply want an image then can you try my solution first? In that case, the image would be a static image which would be responsive.
