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In 1.4.3, the custom header function has been replaced by the custom logo function available in the theme options.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.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

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.

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.

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.

Re: [1.4.3] Using Custom Header

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; }
