Unable to merge background image to menu and header

Hi there,

you need to create a separate Header Element.
DO NOT add anything to the hero content or change any settings on the content tab. Go straight to the Site Header tab and set this to Merge with Content and then you can change header/nav colors.

Thanks for the update. SO i created the header element and did exactly how you stated. but the Navigation menu still does not merge with the GB image.

Also, how do I split the menu. Currently you can see, logo in center is overlapping the menu item. Do i need to reduce the number of item in menu or something ?

In the Header Element > Site Header tab, enable the Navigation colors and set them to transparent.

Can you remove any CSS you have added to create the split header - i will then take a look.

Done, I have removed all CSS from addtional css.

Try this CSS:

@media(min-width: 769px) {
    .navigation-branding {
        position: absolute;
        left: 50%;
        transform: translateX(-50%);
        z-index: 1000;
        text-align: center;
    }

    .main-nav {
        flex: 1;
    }

    .main-navigation li:nth-child(4) {
        margin-left: auto;
    }
}

Then you can remove the Menu Item Separator from your Menu.

You are awesome. That worked like a charm :). One last thing, could you please help me with the merge part as well. I cant seem to figure that one.

Edit your Header Element - and then follow the steps in this article:
