Hello – hopefully this is an easy fix, but I can’t figure it out. I am trying to get my new blog page to show the page title by activating the header, but I can’t get it to work. The general settings of the site are set to not show headers, so on the Blog Page I selected “override default page options” and turned “Active Page Header” to on – but that didn’t work.
I then tried turning headers on for the entire site, and every page showed a header, *except* my blog page. I must have some odd setting or selection made. I even tried every single different Blog Style option, but that didn’t work. Can you help me figure this out? Thanks!

Hello,
I don’t see any issue in this. I opened the blog page (For the love of Lavender), i set on the “Overwrite the default page options” and “Active Page Header” options in General Settings > Page Header Options. I selected “Page header style” basic with breadcrumbs. You can check it yourself. The page title does show up as it should.
Screenshot.Best regards!

Thank you!
1) Blog page: I think I figured out what the glitch is: I would like the heading to be centered. When I select “centered” the heading disappears.
2) Post: I have also discovered the same issue on the post itself. When I couldn’t get the “active innovative fullscreen” image to look nice yesterday, I decided to just use the regular setting and put on a header. However, when I select “centered” as an option, the header disappears. The only option that works is “Basic: Title and Subtitle in Left.”
3) Post: When I try to change the header to be an image on this post, it does not work. I have tried changing all the settings in the Page Header Background, uploading different images, etc. Is there another setting I need to select elsewhere on the post to make it work? I created a brand new test post and was able to get the header to show up as an image, exactly how I want it – so I’ve got some weird setting setting selected that is conflicting with the script on the post. Or, is there a way I can “reset” the settings on the post to default and start over (not likely, I know, but thought I’d ask.)
Any help with this would be great – thanks!

Hello,
1-Even as centered the header shows up ok. Please see screenshot: https://www.clipular.com/c/5538438762987520.png?k=LotvxYenFt5R_QlO0dv02iARalY
The option panel for this result: https://www.clipular.com/c/5538438762987520.png?k=LotvxYenFt5R_QlO0dv02iARalY
2-3-The posts take on the page header settings set up in General Options > Page Header Options. Every change you want to make for the posts, do it here. I set it up as centered and edited the line height by adding this code into your custom css box:
.header_page h1 { line-height: 277px; }
You may add image to the background here if you want. Please check your posts.
Best regards!

Mihaila – thank you so much for your help.
1. Just to clarify: were my settings accurate, and for some reason it just wasn’t showing up on my end? Or did you have to change something on the page to get the header to show up as centered (other than selecting “centered” as an option)? Unfortunately, the “option panel” screenshot link you included is the same one as the picture of the page (not the option panel.)
Also: with the new changes, the header now does not work in mobile: https://www.lavenderconnection.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Screenshot_20170413-141802.png
2&3. So are you saying that all of my posts have to have the same header? Individual posts don’t have the option to overwrite the general settings? And by changing the “general” options do you mean the Tower>Header Options>Default Page Header (or somewhere else)?
Where do I add the image? I’m so confused. Like I said before, I was able to create a brand new post, overwrite the theme settings, and create the header I want exactly as I want it. I simply used the post settings at the bottom (please see the post draft “Spring Pruning”). Why can I not get the first “new blog” post, that I’ve already published, to do the same thing?

Hello,
1-Sorry for the screenshot mishap. I must have thought i copied the right link.
You can check the option panel directly in your site. The customization is still on.The header does works in mobile since it is showing up. It needs some styling since the font is wider than the previous version. The centered header and default header have two different styles, so it will be different in mobile as well. I see the blog header in mobile is different from the screenshot you send (see here) Did you manage to change it?
2-3-Yes, for now the posts will have the same header image that you assign in General Options > Header Options > Default Page Header > Page header background. We will change this in the next theme update.
Your two posts have only one difference, the gradient upon the image. And that’s because in the first post the “transparent” option is checked. See screenshots:

Second post: https://www.clipular.com/c/4962546059837440.png?k=8opgpFTWYp8p_bJgAUjyo-V38QoHowever, as mentioned we will update this feature in the upcoming theme update. Please look forward to it.
Best regards!

Mihaila –
1. I didn’t make any changes to the blog page settings, so I’m not sure why it’s fixed. But on my phone it also looks like it’s working now.
I’m still confused why the header was disappearing for me when I tried to make it centered (I spent hours trying to figure it out) but since it’s working now, I guess it doesn’t matter. I’ll let you know if it happens on future posts. Thanks!
2&3. The blog posts had the same image because I had uploaded the same one – sorry for that. I’ve changed it now, so you can see what I’m talking about. The newer blog post “Spring Pruning” has overrided the default, and has a different header image than the “New Blog” post, which is using the default I set up per your instructions in “general options”. Are you saying that the template shouldn’t be able to do that? I’m confused why the post offers the option for making those overrides (it looks the same as the options on a regular page) if they aren’t possible.
Also, I’m unclear what the CSS code you added was for. I’ve removed it, and nothing seems to have changed.
.header_page h1 {
line-height: 277px;
}Do I need to keep that code in there for some reason? I like the height/width of the headers now, and have slightly reduced the font size so it isn’t too big for mobile – so you don’t need to worry about trying to adjust anything else for me.
Thanks again!

Okay – after I actually published the post, the header image I chose moved down to underneath the header, at the top of the page. The header image defaulted to the one in settings, like you said it would.
So my confusion was that when I was creating draft posts I could get it to look like what I wanted- but once published, the post would revert. I will stop trying to make it work, and wait for the new Tower update and hopefully that will resolve the issue!
I do still need to you to respond to whether or not I have to have the CSS code you provided, for some reason, since it doesn’t seem to have had any affect after removing it (I’m just not sure what it was for, since I can change the heading size and font size in the theme settings.)
Thanks!

Hello,
Your server seems to be a bit slow in showing up changes. So before you expect to see the changes made, first clear cache. So you will be loading the version with the changes instead of the cached version.
The css code purpose was to low down the page header title in order for it to be in the vertically centered. That’s how it looked from my side. If you think it’s ok without it, then just remove it.
Let us know.
Best regards!
