Reply To: Adding social media icons in header

I’m not sure if this will help you Brian but I just got this to work. I’m sure Wes will have more valid information…or correct anything I said here. But here’s what I did.

First I went into the functions.php file (This is found in WP in the Appearance – Editor area) I changed this code:

Add support for custom header
add_theme_support( ‘genesis-custom-header’, array(
‘width’ => 1152,
‘height’ => 120

I simply changed the width from 1152 to 400 (the new width of my logo image)

After that I uploaded (in the Add new Media area) my new logo image that was 400×120. I copied the link to the image and added the code that Wes put in his message. Now, this did not immediately work for me in so I thought maybe I needed to do some changing in the actual Genesis header area. When I went there I saw that the dimension for uploading the header image was changed to the 400×120. I uploaded my new logo file there and I then had my new logo in my website header.

I had to do a second thing to make this work. The widget area for the header right area still would not work. I had to go back into the CSS and change the percentage width for the widget. I made mine 40%.

#header .widget-area {

overflow: hidden;
width: 40%;

All this will vary with whatever sizes you are doing. I hope this wasn’t confusing for you. It did work for me.

I don’t know why I can’t get the code tags to work in this message. I’m sure I’m doing something simple wrong. But I think you’ll get the point.
