Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

In 3.3.3, edit functions/bfa_header_config.php line 89-95:



// if this is Wordpress and not WPMU, print the logosymbol.gif in the theme folder right away
} else {
$logo_area .= get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/' . $bfa_ata['logo'] . '" alt="' .
get_bloginfo('name');
}

$logo_area .= '"
/></a></td>';



change to

// if this is Wordpress and not WPMU, print the logosymbol.gif in the theme folder right away
} else {
$logo_area .= get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/' . $bfa_ata['logo'] . '" alt="Alternative Title';
}

$logo_area .= '"
/></a></td>';



Currently it is putting the site name get_bloginfo('name') there which seems to be
SEONITI.com in your case

Hello Flynn,

I did that and my site is down. I can't even log into wordpress to correct that.

The error message is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/26/4412926/html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa333/functions/bfa_header_config.php on line 92



Please help asap.

Thank you.

Hi Flynn,

Please ignore my earlier email. After a small mistake, it is working fine now. Thanks!

However, I wanted to put "alt tag" on the "header image" which is just below the logo img. How can that be done?

Thank you in advance.

The header images are background images. Due to that, alt tags cannot be used there

You can put header content in a div in the header.php file; images, HTML tables, flash, etc - this allows you to do alt tags, etc - you'll have to delete %header in the theme options/header window.

There's code covered here in the forum to select header content on a page-by-page basis, to, which is really cool (say a flash homepage header and static image on the rest of your site, or images that relate to specific pages).

If you're using rotating images, you'll have to replicate that within your div with flash or code. You can also put a transparent gif or PNG in that space and keep the %image, if you want to do a link or extra code.

I'm primarily a designer and customizing the header has been a huge deal for me.

Would this concept work for tagline area and being able to put say the page title in there instead. So that it would be different on every page?

I don't know enough PHP to know if that's doable - but it seems possible; the way the custom header functions is code that basically says "if this is the homepage, use XX header content; if it's not the homepage, us ZZ header content." You can also code it to call different CSS based on the wordpress page #. Seems like you should be able to code something for the tagline that says "insert page title here".
