WP Twenty Twelve Header Image - html

I've recently downloaded the latest version of Wordpress and I'm working on developing a child-theme off of the new Twenty Twelve.
When a user uploads a header image, its default styling is to place a 1px solid #d2d2d2 border around it, give it a 3px border-radius, a box-shadow and align it to the left.
As simple as this may sound I would like to keep this, but center align the header images instead and place a 1px solid #ededed line 32px below it (this line should extend to 100% of the sites width, so even if the header images are small, the line will continue passed the uploaded image to each side of the wrapper).
For some reason, I cannot target the right HTML and CSS rules to achieve this.
I've tried a number of things, from playing around with the header.php and /inc/custom-header.php files, modifying properties and placing at the very bottom of my style.css document:
header img, header img a, header a img, .header-image {
text-align: center; margin: inherit auto; padding-bottom: 32px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ededed;
}
header img:after, header img a:after, header a img:after, .header-image:after {
border-bottom: 4px solid red; padding-bottom: 32px;
}
How would I achieve this desired effect for when the user uploads a header image?
Thank you.

Change line 442 of your style.css:
.header-image {
display block;
margin: 0 auto 2em;
}

How To Customise A Header

The issue I'm facing today is with the width of a gadget. I would like the border-bottom line of #customheader to extend to the full width of any given screen. Right now however the border-bottom is only the width of the blog. How would I go about lengthening the border-bottom without compromising on the other elements of the gadget?
The URL to my blog is as follows: http://www.blankesque.com and the coding to the gadget is stated below:
<style>
#customheader a {
font-size: 60px;
font-family: lato light, 'cantarell';
color: #737373;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: normal!important;
letter-spacing: 0.07em;
}
#customheader {
margin: 7% 0 2% 0;
padding: 0 0 3.5% 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
#customheader a:hover {
color: #000000!important;
}
</style>
<center>
<div id='customheader'>
<a href='http://www.blankesque.com'>Blankesque</a>
</div>
</center>
You need to move it outside of .content-outer, which is set to 1080px.
If possible, move the entire <header>...</header> outside of .content-outer
you could add an invisible div with position: absolute where you need the border, and set the width to 100%. Then you can either set the border on that or use the div as a border.
example JSFiddle
If you want a line that goes below your #customerheader and extends to the full width of the screen then its best to introduce an independent <hr/> which sits below your <center> element and has the following CSS properties:
hr {
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
Keep in mind, you will have to remove the border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; from your #customerheader, since the horizontal line element is replacing this effect.
In retrospect, the above is not even necessary if you fix the layout issues in your site, which are causing your elements to seem to be out of alignment. You need to look into what is making them skew to the left, but with the code you have provided I cannot easily identify the root of the issue.

CSS code for Fiore theme on Wordpress

I would like to adjust the CSS code for the Fiore theme on Wordpress. My URL is theuniversalasian.wordpress.com. It is an upgraded premium wordpress account.
With the upgrade, I am able to edit the CSS, but a number of problems are happening. If you could help me with the code, I'd appreciate it!
I want to make a white background for the post texts. When I do that, it moves the date, comments, edit links on the left side. I would like those to stay up top near the post title ribbon. At the moment, the site does not show the changes I wanted because I keep fiddling with the code....
If possible, I'd like the white background for the text to have rounded corners....
The left column somehow loses the graphics....There should be a top cherry blossom graphic like the original theme (http://fioredemo.wordpress.com/), along with the rest of the ribbon image for the post titles.
I cannot paste the entire code here..., but hopefully you will know what I mean from the site...
For the first two, I'll work on the last now, you needed to locate the .entry-content class in your css file.
The first style I added was the background: #fff; which added the white background and then I added border-radius: 7px; which gives it rounded corners.
.entry-content {
color: #2b2b2b; /* changed to black font since you wanted a white background */
width: 300px;
padding: 10px;
border: 0 solid #000;
margin-left: 10%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-top: 10px;
background: #fff;
border-radius: 7px;
}
For the third question, I am not 100% positive but since you removed the nav on your site I believe you removed the image as well. For some reason on the template page I can not find any styles when you inspect an element. The image is apart of the nav/header area so this is just my best guess.
EDIT: Moving the comment/date block around.
.entry-meta {
color: #333;
font-size: 12px;
font-size: 1.2rem;
letter-spacing: 1px;
position: absolute;
text-align: right;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 150px;
top: 0;
left: 35%;
}

Removing default border around image

I've looked around for a while now and can't find a solution that solves this particular problem. I have an image (<img...>)on a webpage and when the image loads it has a 1px solid white (or very light grey) outline/border on the outside edge of the image. It's not around the image but on the outermost pixels.
The associated CSS is as follows:
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
float: left
I've tried using
border: none
border: 0
outline: none
outline: 0
-webkit-border-before: 0px solid #fff
-webkit-border-after: 0px solid #fff
and am stumped, the only way I've gotten part of the white line to disappear is by increasing the border radius to cut off the corners of the image. I've verified and re-verified that this outline is not on the image.
The original image:
The div containing this image (and other similar images without the same problem) has css as follows (if this helps):
text-align: center;
height: 60px;
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
width: 270px;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
padding: 0px 20px;
Finally found the solution!
I originally had it as an img containing a class that referenced the image in our sprite sheet. By changing the img tags to a div and keeping the original reference, the borders were removed and the sprite correctly displays.
You could try this:
border-width: 0px;

CSS conditional effect?

The following code is setup in the template to show each time a new sidebar widget is inserted. (It shows around each new widget)
<div class="sidebox-top"></div>
<div class="sidebox">
<div class="widgets">
<div class="textwidget">
[WIDGET CONTENT]
</div>
</div>
</div>
The above displays the following CSS:
.sidebox-top {
background-image: url("/images/top-border-side.gif");
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 4px;
}
.sidebox {
border-bottom: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
border-left: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
border-right: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
margin-bottom: 14px;
padding: 10px 18px 5px;
}
The result is this:
This works great for most all widgets used. However, I want the above images to show in the sidebar without the sidebox-top blue line or border. I know there is a way to use certain CSS symbols to identify before or after by using the > symbol, I'm just not sure how to use that here or if it will even work.
Any help is always appreciated. Thank you!
Replicating the issue
Okay, I've attempted to replicate your image in this JSFiddle demo. In case JSFiddle is down, here is what this looks like:
For this instead of using a background-image and 4px height on .sidebox-top, I've simply used a 4px border-top. Whilst not an identical replication, this achieves the same basic effect.
Hiding the .sidebox-top element
Step 1
To begin with, we need to target the very first child contained within the .textwidget divider, only if it's an img. We do not want to apply this styling to any other img elements after that, nor do we want to apply the styling if the img isn't the first element within the container. To do this, we can use:
.textwidget img:first-child { ... }
Step 2
The next step is to give our image top padding and negative top margin equal to the sum of the top padding of .sidebox and the height of .sidebox-top. We then want to give our image a background which is the same colour as the background of your widget:*
.textwidget img:first-child {
background: #fff;
padding-top:14px;
margin-top: -14px;
}
* Note: This assumes that your widget's background is the same as your widget's container's background and that the background is a solid colour. If it isn't, you'll need to play around with background-position to align your patterned background with the widget's background.
From this, we end up with our image overlapping the top border whilst remaining in the same position that it started in:
Step 3
The third step is to cover the entire .sidebox-top. To do this we're going to need to give our selected img left and right padding and negative left and right margin equal to the sum of the left and right padding of the .sidebox and its border-width:
.textwidget img:first-child {
... /* Styling from Step 2 */
padding-left: 18px;
padding-right: 18px;
margin-left: -19px;
margin-right: -19px;
}
Step 4
Step 3 has certainly covered the entire .sidebox-top, but it's also covered the borders of .sidebox. For this we need to add identical borders to our selected img and reduce the left and right padding on our img to allow for this:
.textwidget img:first-child {
... /* Styling from Step 2 */
padding-left: 17px;
padding-right: 17px;
... /* Margins from Step 3 */
border-left: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
border-right: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
}
Final Step
The final step is to add a top border to our img to complete the border of the widget. As with Step 4, for this we'll need to reduce the size of the top padding to allow for this border:
.textwidget img:first-child {
... /* Styling from previous steps */
padding-top: 13px;
border-top: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
}
Final JSFiddle demo.

Background fill shape with text on top using CSS

Right now we have a web page with a bunch of link sections on one page. Each section has a header like so:
This header background is actually two images. The first is just a rectangle and the second has the slanted side on it. As I was looking at this solution, I was wondering if I could solve this with CSS instead of images. While I am not a CSS guru, I did look at a number of examples and was able to get something similar working. However, when I attempt to put text on top of the background, it ends up above the color instead of inside it. The CSS I have also has a fixed size, which is less than idea. I would rather specify a percentage of the available area and have it fill in the color.
Here is the code I've been working with:
<STYLE type="text/css">
.mini_banner
{
display:inline;
border-bottom:30px solid blue;
border-left:0px solid transparent;
border-right:30px solid transparent;
}
</STYLE>
I wanted to apply this to a cell in a table. I also don't want to break compatibility with modern browsers. My "customers" (mostly internal people) are going to be primarily on IE8 or later but I don't want to limit myself if I can help it.
So first, is this possible? Second, how would I accomplish this? And third, is there a way to make it relative in scale instead of fixed?
I would say that you'll have less headaches all the way around if you revert to using a single background image - in this case, a white image with the notch cut out (a PNG-24 with alpha transparency). Make it bigger than you think you need by about 200%, then do something like this:
.minibanner {
background: blue url(..images/notch.png) no-repeat middle right;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
The reason is that relying on border sizes may result in some whackiness across browsers, and it will definitely look weird if any element runs to two lines.
If you make the notch image 200-300% larger, but vertically align it in the middle of the background, and you do increase the font-size, the box will grow, but your white notch will grow right along with it.
UPDATE:
The only other way I can see pulling this off is to add a non-semantic element, such as a or something similar, after your text:
<div>
<p>Hello text</p>
<span></span>
</div>
Then in your CSS:
p {
background: blue;
color: white;
float: left;
padding: 0 20px;
height: 50px;
margin:0;
line-height: 50px;
}
span {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 50px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 0px solid transparent;
display: inline-block;
border-left: 50px solid blue;
}
See this JSFiddle.
The shape is based on this tutorial on CSS triangles. Now, I've only tried this on a webkit based browser, and it works. You will have to adjust the heights every time you want to change font size, so that is a drawback.
I made it work without an extra span: jsFiddle
.mini_banner
{
width:18em; height:1.5em;
color:white; font-weight:bold; padding-left:0.5em;
margin-bottom:.5em;
}
.mini_banner:before {
display:inline-block; content:''; overflow:hidden;
width:17em; height:0;
margin-bottom:-1.5em; margin-left:-.5em;
border-bottom:1.5em solid blue;
border-right:1.5em solid transparent;
}
Tested in FF, Safari, Opera and IE. (Works in IE8, but not in IE7)
