Unable to remove header / banner image from homepage in Helium theme

    Hi everyone,

    I am working on a WordPress site using the Helium theme, and I am having trouble removing a large image that appears at the top of my homepage. The image shows above the page title and content, like a banner / hero / header image, but I cannot find where it is coming from.

    The page itself is set as a static homepage, and the image does not appear anywhere in the page editor.

    Here is what I have already tried:

    • Checked Pages → Home → Edit
    • No image in the content
    • Featured Content field is empty
    • No Featured Image set
    • Checked Appearance → Widgets
    • Looked in Primary, Secondary, Footer, Header Right
    • No image widgets
    • Checked Appearance → Customize
    • Header
    • Site Identity
    • Colors
    • Homepage Settings
    • Widgets
    • Additional CSS
      → No header image set anywhere
    • Checked Appearance → Theme Options
    • No banner / hero / header image setting found
    • Checked Media Library
    • Image exists, but not sure what is attaching it to the homepage
    • Checked Settings → Reading
    • Homepage is set to a static page (Home)

    The image still appears above the page content on the homepage only.

    It looks like the theme is automatically adding a header image, but I cannot find where it is configured.

    Does anyone know where the Helium theme stores the page header / hero / banner image, or how to disable the automatic header image on the homepage?

    Thanks in advance.

    The Helium theme (often associated with the WP Royal or Ignition frameworks) uses a specific hierarchy for headers that can make them feel “invisible” in the standard WordPress editor, as they are frequently pulled from “hidden” metadata locations rather than global settings. Since you have already ruled out the standard Customizer and Widget areas for tarheels.live, the image is likely being controlled by a specific Page Header or Hero Section tab within the Appearance → Customize menu, which often features a toggle to enable or disable the header specifically for the Front Page. If it remains hidden there, scroll to the very bottom of your “Home” page in the editor to find the Theme Settings or Page Options box; these local overrides often contain a “Custom Header Image” or “Hero Banner” field that will supersede your global site preferences. As a final, immediate solution, you can force the image to disappear by adding .home .page-header-module, .home .header-image { display: none !important; } to your Additional CSS section, which will hide the banner specifically on your static homepage without affecting the rest of your site’s layout.
