# Headers

 * I like the theme in general, would prefer non-serif font.
 * Then there are the tiny header images. I have a plugin that displays a random
   one in the current 2011 child theme I use, edited to the same size as the stock
   images that come with 2011. They show up, but very small, and they were originally
   full-width. I understand that it might have scalability issues, but I’d like 
   to display them full size.
 * Are these resolvable? I don’t care to use the slider at this time, unless it 
   could replace the header somehow.
 * Thank you for any help and for offering it for free…

 * Link to your blog?
 * You should be able to go to `style.css` and change the font from there to a sans-
   serif one.

 * I’m back to using the 2011 child theme, Pico Light, so you can see the header
   image as I want them to be. With Clean Retina they are perhaps 200 pixels wide,
   like thumbs instead of full size.

 * Hi cdkrall,
 * For the font change, you could create a child theme and overwrite the parent 
   font. If you don’t want to create child theme you could also go to
    **Appearance
   >Theme Options>Design Options>Cutom CSS** Write your own CSS to change the font
   this will overwrite the parent font. Save the Changes.
 * For the Random Header Image in various page:
    * You could go to Header option
   inside Appearance. * Upload many large images, when you upload you can crop theme
   in your size of choice. So, say crop all the images in (978(w) * 200(h)). * After
   you upload all the images. Tick on the random checkbox, save the changes and 
   this will show different header images of same size in different pages randomly.(
   The reason you got tiny header images is that there are tiny images instead of
   bigger images, the facility used in Clean Retina and 2011 theme is same as both
   are from the WordPress Core) You can ask if you still have confusions.
 * If you don’t want to use the slider, just disable it from the slider options.

 * Hi Sanjiv,
 * Thank you for the helpful reply.
 * I was experiencing issues with the standard WP random header function; not changing
   images, then not being able to “see” all the header images in the awful WP Media
   Library, the reply on this forum was to upload the images yet again, which would
   work for a while until I tried a new theme.
 * So I started using the WP Random Header plugin. I already have the images sized,
   the plugin just randomly chooses an image from the target folder, so I can swap
   images without going through all those “easy” steps ad infinitum.
 * This has worked with all themes I have tried thusfar, including 2011 and 2012,
   but not Clean Retina. I upgraded CR this morning and it still shows a thumbnail
   of the header image.
 * Thank you again for offering such a nice theme free. I’ll leave it on my themes
   list and try the updates. If you want to contact me via the link on the website,
   I can send you a screenshot or other info.

 * Hello guys,
 * Great theme, and works well on different devices. I also like your documentation
   in most files included with this theme, makes it easier to adpt to ones own needs.
 * However, a couple of problems arose:
 * Problem 1: I need to put a large (about h200 * w700) image in the header. How
   should I proceed, can I change some defaults anywhere in some .php? Tried changing
   the defaults in custom-header.php, but didn’t affect anything.
    I guess the large
   image will scale, as it does now. btw, would be great to have the option of centering
   the header image.
 * Problem 2: My menu has sub-menus based on categories. When I scale the whole 
   theme (ie. use an iPhone or Adroid), the menu deflates to a nice dropdown list.
   But to the left on the same row as the drop-down icon (the rectangle with the
   blue lines) i see the rightmost menus last sub-menu in text beginning with [–
   menutext]. How can I get rid of that text? If i choose a new menu iten, the text
   shows everything right.
    This is disturbing especially on the home page, as it
   shows that you are on some last sub-menu item.
 * Appreciate all your help. If needed, I can post the site link, but I’m working
   on it all the time so it might not be up all the time.

 * Regarding problem 1 in earlier post:
    The image now shows up as a kind of thumbnail,
   about 50 px in height.

 * It’s easier for the theme author and forum volunteers to identify your problem
   if you create your own thread on it.

 * His issue with the header is identical to the one I’m experiencing. The Header
   page in theme admin even specifies a thumbnail size for the header image.
 * The menu problem would also be one I had if I could get past the header image
   issue.
 * I sent screenshots to devs some time ago, no reply as of yet, when I hear of 
   a solution will update this thread for all concerned.

 * Hi lerppu66,
 * As Andrew said it is easier for us to give the solution, if you create a new 
   thread.
 * I think your problem and cdkrall problem are different as cdkrall is using the
   WP random header plugin to show the random images in every different page and
   every time the page is loaded.
 * Problem 1.
    But in your case(lerppu66 case), I think you don’t have the same 
   situation. I think you are just trying to upload header image of your own size.(
   200*700). You don’t need to change anything in the code. Just go to header setting
   page, browse and upload a image, crop(you need to increase the cropper) according
   to your wish and save the changes. Here, is the documentation [here](http://www.themehorse.com/theme-instruction/clean-retina/#CustomHeader)
   We will consider about the aligning it in center option in upcoming updates. 
   You could use custom css to center it for now.
 * Problem 2.
    We have used “–” to indicate the depth of menu in smaller devices.
   If you don’t want it, go to tinynav.js file and replace “–” with “” in line around
   53. But better do that child theme way so you don’t have to repeat that in every
   updates. In the child theme de-enqueue that tinynav.js file create tinynav-child.
   js file, copy all the code there, change “–” with “” and enqueue tinynav-child.
   js file. This will be difficult for you if you are not the code person. But making
   child theme and editing there is always the best way.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hello sanjiv,
 * Tnx for fast reply.
 * Hovwever, problem 1 doesn’t get solved by doing as u say. As i upload a pic of
   about 800*1500 px and don’t crop it, it turns into a sort of thumbnail, even 
   distorted, by default.
 * Problem 2: It still says [last category], even though I remove the lines u mensioned.
 * The site is hanistyle.fi/wordpress. I’ll keep it up until Saturday noon UTC. 
   Then I have to go live with it.
 * I’ll do a child theme as soon as i figured out these problems (with ur help;-).
   Coding is not a big problem for me, so go ahead (although I in no way a pro).

 * Ok guys, how stupid can a man be:-)
 * Did upload the image once more, saved it, and now it seems to work.
 * I guess one vertical bit turned horizontal, or something, don’t know.
 * But problem 2 still exists. It still says [last category] while being at the 
   main page without any category sorting, even though I remove the lines u mensioned.
 * Try it at hanistyle.fi/wordpress (make the browser window smaller).

 * Hi lerppu66,
 * Okay the first problem is solved. Let’s to the second.
 * I did not get you actually. Are you trying to get rid of “–” this symbols that
   appear for sub menu while making the window smaller? The solution I mentioned
   above was for this question.
 * But now the problem you are saying is like-> You are in the home page, and when
   you make the window size smaller why does it show travel(your last category).
   
   Make [http://hanistyle.fi/wordpress/](http://hanistyle.fi/wordpress/) as custom
   menu say Home(top level menu). Try this this may help you. When making the window
   size smaller you may see home. Try it out and let me know.
