  Hi, I would like the front page to show a different header (different from the other pages), but it seems like I can only set the header image for the entire site. Can I at least hide the header on the front page?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, I think that is a limitation of that theme (unless someone else knows otherwise?), unless you use some custom CSS, which is only an option if you are a premium/business plan subscriber, you could enquire in the custom-css forum section:

  to check it is possible before you made any decision regarding upgrade if that is a suitable solution for you.

  Hi there – looks like you already have access to custom CSS. You can set a different header image for the homepage like this:

  /* Hide default custom header on the homepage */
  
  .home .wp-custom-header img {
    visibility: hidden;
  }
  /* Add a different custom header on the homepage */
  .home .custom-header {
    background-image: url(https://umbraetluxnet.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/cropped-cropped-umbraetlux.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
  }

  Replace the URL https://umbraetluxnet.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/cropped-cropped-umbraetlux.gif with the actual path to the header image you would like.

  Hi all,

  I have this theme on a business account. Can someone please tell me the css to make the header slide show on the front page only! When I try other ones from the internet it cuts off the menu!
