    Hi Wes,

    I really like to start with video on top of the homepage, just like your site http://appfinite.com
    How can I do that within the Elevate theme? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Also I have a logo (287×40) when I want to use it as the website logo in top leftcorner, the logo is cropped. I am missing a lot of the logo even while it is within the recommend size.

    Sure, I can take a look. Can you post the link to your site so I can see what’s going on?

    With most Genesis Child themes, if you have a logo that is exactly 287 x 40, then you’ll need to first add/change that size in your functions.php file. Look for code that looks something like this –

    //* Add support for custom header
    add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
    	'flex-height'     => true,
    	'width'           => 300,
    	'height'          => 60,
    	'header-selector' => '.site-title a',
    	'header-text'     => false,
    ) );

    …and then change the size to the width/height of your image/logo.

    Once you do that, then try and upload your logo using the customizer. Once you upload your logo with the matching size already set then you won’t need to crop the image.

    For most users, that’s all that would need to be done. However, if the image is still cut off, then we’ll just need to make a small tweak to the CSS. This is easy to do, but I’ll need to take a look at the site so I can see what will need to be adjusted.

    Video: I wouldn’t recommend doing the background video the way I did on the main site (appfinite.com). I set it up that way a couple years ago, and the way I did it back then was difficult and complex since there weren’t that many plugins and other sites doing it at the time. There are much easier ways to do it nowadays, and I’m releasing a new theme that will implement this feature by default. Check back to see when that’s ready and you can implement the same feature into the theme you’re using now.

    Have you identified one of the easier methods for adding video? I’m looking to do something similar, like this:
