Header Image Uploading Issues

Artsy_Aviator · ‎04-18-2017

Is anyone else having the issue when you try to upload an image to a page's header, it uploads the image way darker than it originally was? I made my own custom header images but when I try and upload them, it makes them dark, and the filter "lighten" makes it even darker. Strange. Don't know what this is!

Hi @Artsy_Aviator,

what is the address of your website? It's easier to help if people can see the problem.

Cheers, Mark

It's the header on my "Gallery," "Scale Models," and "Commissions" page. The blue striped color. I don't know why it's not uploading as the right color.

Hi @Artsy_Aviator,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Please add the CSS to your site:

Settings>SEO and add this [below] to your Header Code window, then Save and Publish.

<style>
.wsite-header-section:before {
    background: rgba(0,0,0,0) !important;
}
</style>

That should take you from this:

To this:

A lot of themes have an dark overlay on backgrounds by default. The idea is to help light coloured text contrast better with the image behind. Obviously this is not suitable for every case - like yours for example.

Let me know how you go with this.

Regards, Mark
