[Support request] Unable to merge background image to menu and header

[Amit]

Hi,

I have build a hero image with generateblock and i need to merge the background image to header/menu. How do i do that ?

Also I need to get the logo in center and split the menu.

Also , when i see the mobile view, i just need to see the collapse menu. But currently i see colapse menu and all the menu items also. Could you please help me with that ?

Best Regards
Amit

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.
