Topic: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

In 1.4.3, the custom header function has been replaced by the custom logo function available in the theme options. The code for the custom header function file is still available in the 1.4.3 release. All you need to do is to include the file to use it again.

Simply include this line in functions.php:

require_once ARRAS_LIB . '/admin/custom-header.php';

just before:

require_once ARRAS_LIB . '/launcher.php';

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

How do we remove the text from the header? Is this option not available any more? I'm thinking of switching back to 1.4.2, I liked the way it worked better sad

The slogan below the custom logo? Just go in Settings>General and delete the short description of your blog.

Anyone knows how to off the text and use a custom header in 1.4.3.1?
Sorry for the resurrection, can't seem to find a guide.

Just use the custom logo function on the design tab of the Theme Options.

Please ask questions about Arras on forum, not through mail, thanks.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

May I know the measurements please?  neutral

Edit - Oh okay I kinda got it but there is a problem with the cushion spacing.
Did 980 x 90, but how do you shrink it down to size?

Same question. My header space is now bigger than the logo. If I resize the logo, the header space just grows with it. My guess is it can be done in the child theme's css, but how?

Thanks.

Lubberding - If you set the padding in #branding padding to 0 it should remove 20px os space from under the custom logo within your child css.

In mines, i changed it from this: 

#branding                { width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 0 20px; }

To this:

#branding                { width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; }

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

Hi,

Is it possible to manipulate the dimensions so that the header can be more than just 80 pixels in height?

Thanks.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

I'm having the issue with the header increasing in size after uploading a logo.
The logo has a height of 79px. I have followed the above tips but haven't found a solution.
The best result was adding this to user.css

#branding { height: 79px; }
#branding { padding: none; }

This got rid of the space below the logo but it overlapped my navbar slightly, and there was still a significant amount of awkward blank space above the logo image.

Help please!

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

Stuck trying to figure out how to put BOTH the logo and the text to the right of it. Right now I have the text overlapping the logo:

.blog-name a { background: url(http://www.thedigitalforensicgroup.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Cube1.png) no-repeat; text-indent: 100; width: 500px; height: 57px; display: block; }

Thanks DannyM, I never saw that 20px in the branding and I swear I read that line at least 20 times.
Problem solved.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

I believe the change you're after can be done via the user.css. Since you have ruled that out, be aware that any theme updates probably will overwrite your edited .php files.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

Hello, I am very excited to have found this Arras theme! I have been trying a number and have had trouble setting them up. I managed to set up Arras on one of my blogs as I wanted it in only a few minutes. I still had to hunt to find a couple of small answers here.  I wanted to ask how to remove the "about arras theme" from the bottom (sorry!).
Do we pay to purchase a license?
But this is a gorgeous theme! It is modern, clean and sleek and I love it.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

Hi, Arras is the best theme! I have not changed anything other than the text. It is great, so slick and clean looking.

But I have been trying to find how to easily move the search bar out of the header and into the menu bar.
Is there a way of doing this through the "user css" and not having to touch coding or html stuff?

Thanks for any suggestions.
