    Hello, I am trying to add a header background image on my site, but it never saves after I go to view it. Basically, I upload the image under "Backgrounds" tab --> Header Background, click Save Options, go to view the site (image not there), then go back to the Theme Options and the image uploaded is gone. 

    Any help is great, I don;t know if it needs to be formatted a certain size or  what the issue is. I do have a logo loaded in, but it is transparent, so image should come through. 

    Last question, is there a way to adjust the size and position of the logo placement?

    Hi there,
    that's kind of odd. Could you please provide admin access so I can take a peek? (please remember to mark the checkbox Private on your reply).

    Thank you

    Hi, while you are in there, please look at the site's homepage. I have a text block and image loaded in the backend, but it doesn't show up on the actual site. This isn't my first WP site, so I am very confused...

    Hi there,

    I could login and upload a header background.
    It get correctly saved to me, and keeps on showing up on the theme options also after a several page refreshes, although it isn't displaying on the front-end as you selected the Minimal Unboxed layout, which being unboxed, doesn't support a header background as it's not compatible with the design.

    If you select the regular boxed version you'll see the background appear in the front end, 'inside' the heder/logo area.

    As per the widgetized homepage, please check the documentation on how to create it, the homepage it's not meant to be built through the Visual Composer, but through widgets and sidebars, so that might be the issue.

    Hope it helps

    Regards

    Ok, I understand. I didn't realize the minimal unboxed would take away the ability to use a background image. That also makes sense about the widgetized homepage. Thank you for the help!

    Hi, one other question. I would like the primary Navigation Bar under the header image to be light colored (white) and the text to be dark (more like the look of the minimal unboxed design). How can I control the font color of just the main navigation fonts?

    Hi there,

    The logic behind it is that being the option named a Minimal version, most of the unnecessary stuff get stripped off in favor of a cleaner content-focused layout.

    About your question:

    The navigation background can be changed through the theme options in Backgrounds > navigation Background 

    To change only the navigation links without affecting other links throughout the site, some custom CSS would be needed instead, something like:

    .main-navigation ul a {color: #111111!important;}

    should work (to Paste in Advanced > Custom CSS textarea)

    Hope that helps
