Changing background in Header ("SUITS" Theme)

    I’m replicating my wordpress.com blog on ww.wp.xz.cn and the template I’m using (“SUITS”) apparently isn’t coded the same – I’m having an issue making my header background solid black.

    • http://honeyspidermovie.wordpress.com/film-synopsis (header is perfect)
    • http://www.honeyspidermovie.com/film-synopsis (can’t make the header background solid black)

    I can’t get the background on the second blog link to be solid black – it makes it transparent when I add a header image and it won’t let me add a header image that’s really long. I’m not sure if it’s a php or css coding issue (I can make small changes, but I really don’t know how to code either one).

    It’s in your css. Change this:

    .site-header {
background: url(http://www.honeyspidermovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/copy-honeyspider_header.jpg) no-repeat scroll top;
}

    to this:

    .site-header {
background: url(http://www.honeyspidermovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/copy-honeyspider_header.jpg) no-repeat scroll top #000;
}

    You should be creating a child theme to put any of your edits in. This way you will not lose your changes when you update the theme.

    max-width: 960px;
    min-height: 180px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 100%;
    }

    .site-title {
    color: #fff;
    font-family: Lato, sans-serif;
