[Support request] Set Background for Dispatch Demo

[Raul]

Hi I installed and took Dispatch Demo for my website but I am not able to set a background with image for my site. I set “new element” and than “head” and put a simple html code inside: . I also set some colors but nothing happen on the site.

Hi there,

can you share a link to the page where we can see the issue?

Hi,

I need a header like this here -> Logo+Background: https://web.archive.org/web/20201024123111/http://url.de/

And this is how it is at the moment: http://www.url.de

Are you trying to use the Header Element ?
If so you can only have one Header Element on a page, and the Dispatch already has one for the Magazine Grid.

Do you want to replace the Dispatch Grid with your own code?

No, I like the dispatch design and to design it completly new it will take time. So for now I would improve the dispatch design. So the only possibility is to Customize the design and set background in wordpress-CSS-Editor?

The Dispatch uses the header but it use it in the the images-teaser and not at the top of the page..

BTW: The header element would show me my background with the menu, so at the bottom of the site logo 😉

Ah, and I discovered, that if I want to use my old theme for a few days I am not able to restore the full design. Some of the parts are from GP Premium but I deactivated it.

Sorry I’m a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve as well.

Are you trying to add a background image in the green highlighted area here?

Exactly. I used the CSS Editor in the Theme-Customizer. It’s difficult because there are so many station where you can edit the theme like WP Show Posts or Sites or CSS.

But I would edit the documenation because in the element-area of the documentation I didn’t see something like “you can only have one Header Element on a page”. 🙂

Ok so the site Header you can change its colors in Customizer > Colors > Header –> Background.
