    Hello,

    Go to Pages > edit your home page and select slider in “Show revolution slider instead of breadcrumbs and page title” section in the “Page Layout” box on the right side.

    Does it work without the revolution slider? I don’t want to have a slider as it is considered to be bad UX.

    Can I still make the menu background transparent?

    Thanks a lot.

    Really? Where is the background color in the menu defined? Can I change something in the custom CSS?

    Yes of course, thank you.

    1. I would like to change the background of the main menu from white to white with a little bit transparent 50% or something like that.

    2. Also change the background of the fixed menu (when I am scrolling) from white to white with transparent

    The black background of the sub menu should stay black as it is.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    Add this code in style.css of your child theme:

    header, .fixed-header-area {
        background-color: orange;
    }

    Ok I tried:

    header, .fixed-header-area {
    background-color: transparent;
    }

    But only the fixed header gets transparent. How can I make the main header transparent?

    Thank you in advance, I appreciate your help!

    Hello,

    Main header can be transparent only if you use slider in “Show revolution slider instead of breadcrumbs and page title” section.
    Unfortunately there is no other way for main header.
    Sorry.

    But why can it change to orange but not transparent? That is really upsetting.

    Sliders are considered to be really bad UX. I wonder why a lot of templates still rely on it.

    Is it possible to reduce the hight of the header? I mean by that the space above and below the navigating links like “Home” …

    Thank you in advance.

    Oh I found it myself:
    .navbar {
    padding-top: 5px !important;
    padding-bottom: 10px !important;
    }

    Can I also change the padding in the fixed-header ??

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Main header can’t be transparent because there is no content behind it, just white background and if you write in css the code for transparent background it still will be white because nothing is placed behind main header.

    To reduce the height of fixed header use this code:

    .fixed-header-area {
        min-height: 35px;
        height: 70px !important;
    }
