[SOLVED] Header image is doubled?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have worked my way through the options as far as the header section and I have added my image but it is showing up twice. Once at the right size and once as a cropped version of itself. Until I understood the %image bit and popped it into the input box, I was only getting a cropped version. I've attached a screen grab below.

Cheers,
Ray

My header image is doing the exact same thing. Which is odd, because I installed it on two blogs and the first one (beyondelsewhere.ca) did NOT have this problem and now the second one (beyondbooks.ca) is having the problem. Both blogs are houses in separate folders on my server so they do not interfere with the other. I'm just curious as why one would work and the other didn't. Possibly because I had originally installed the older version from WP and then downloaded the new 3.5+ one directly for my second blog?

I would be very happy if there was a simple fix to this. ;)

Ropy... How did you add your image? What do you mean by the "input box"? If that is the place you put %image what else is in that box?

I also am having the same problem and don't see that there's a resolution here. I have a (cropped) duplicate header image over the top of my original header image and I'm not sure how to fix it. See http://www.ABetterYouCoach.com
Thanks!

Shut off the animated images, they are causing the duplicates.

The new code is not resection the location of the header image and puts it all the way to the left causing the duplicate or shifted image to appear

BizCoach Sep 1, 2010 07:25 PM

The animation is off... But it's still producing the duplicate image.

I don't understand the second sentence that you wrote.

Thanks!!

Go ato->style & Edit header area->configure header area and remove the code
HTML Code:

<div id="imagecontainer" class="header-image-container" style="background: url('http://abetteryoucoach.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa353/images/header/ABYCHeader.jpg') top center no-repeat;"><div class="clickable"><a class="divclick" title="A Better You Coach.com" href ="http://abetteryoucoach.com/">*</a></div></div>
That code pulls in the image, but the %image does also

BizCoach Sep 1, 2010 07:45 PM

got it! Thanks!!

I'm having the same duplicate header image issue with sokius.net

I'm not seeing similar code on my site. I've been scratching my head for hours on this. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

BizCoach Sep 6, 2010 09:56 AM

I didn't have exactly that code either. But it clued me in and when I looked I found that I had the "%image" code up at the top, and again in the body between the comments that were there in the software.
so I deleted one of the "%image" (the one that was kind of hidden in the comment area) and it removed the second header image.

So try that...maybe that's what's going on with you, too.

Good luck.

I think it might be related to the following, but I can't figure out where to edit it for the life of me. It seems like the header code got added into some "ad" code.

Code:

<!-- To remove the ad altogether, start removing here... -->
<div style="position:absolute;top:20px;right:20px;width:728px;height:90px;">
<!-- Put the ad code BELOW this (and remove the sample text if there is any) -->
<div id="imagecontainer" class="header-image-container" style="background: url('http://sokius.net/wp-content/themes/atahualpa353/images/header/header6.jpg') bottom right no-repeat;"></div>
<!-- Put the ad code ABOVE this -->
</div>
<!-- End removing the ad here -->

I've searched through (seemingly) every file to find this, but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere except when I view the source for www.sokius.net. :(

BizCoach Sep 6, 2010 11:45 AM

According to what Juggledad wrote, if you remove line 4 there that starts with <div id="...

He says if you remove that, it should help...so try cutting line 4 (from your example) of course paste it into notepad or something in case you need it back.

At least that's how I read juggledad's comments above...

Good luck,
Let us know if that works or not.

sokius Sep 6, 2010 12:04 PM

Agreed. I just can't figure out how to remove it. I found it by viewing the source of the site in Firefox, but I can't find where that bit of code is on the backend of the site.

Very frustrating being able to see what is probably wrong, but not being able to do anything about it :(

juggledad Sep 6, 2010 12:55 PM

Go to the atahualpa theme options (ato) look for the tab labeled 'style & edit header area' (least that's what I think it says, I'm on my iPad) then look at the 'configure header area' option, just like I said in post #7

sokius Sep 6, 2010 01:03 PM

Hi Juggledad. I appreciate you taking your time.

I must be missing something major. All i see when I go there is one line for code and I have: %logo %pages %image %cats

Is there some button somewhere that I press to allow me to do more editing? I thought I knew where to go, but I am obviously missing something.

I've even tried completely reinstalling the theme, but all the settings (including the broken stuff) return the way it was.

juggledad Sep 6, 2010 01:11 PM

Two possibilities,
1) one of your plugins is causing you to only see one line there. To see if this is the case, disable all your plugins and go check it out again.
2) you have made some other change - to the code or in CSS inserts, that is causing it or even a plugin is causing it.

Not having access to the background of the site, I can't tell.

sokius Sep 6, 2010 05:33 PM

Hi Juggledad - You resolved my issue by showing me how to go back to the default settings on the theme in another thread: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...2622#post42622

I appreciate your help, and no longer need assistance on this issue.
