Blog title showing through new header

I changed my header and now the name of my blog is bleeding through and I can't shut it off. Oddly, I didn't have this problem with the last header I had on so I can only think it was a color issue.

I've checked the USE HEADER box but the only way to make the title disappear is to remove it from the Options box and then nothing shows up in the browser title space.

Ideas?

In your header.php file you will find the masthead in the div you want to remove the `<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

from the line.

<div id="masthead">
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
<?php } else { ?>
" title="Back Home"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<h2 id="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>
</div>
`

That worked. Now if I can just get my Author photo to show up I'd be kicking butt!

Under author.php you will see that the dir is being called from /wp-content/themes/mimbopro/images/ change the mimbopro to your correct dir name for the mimbopro dir under your themes dir.

See if that corrects your issue don't forget to use the first name of the author for the file name in your images when you upload the image.

ps I'm still seeing the name of your blog through the image, are your sure that you corrected this.

That doesn't and believe it or not the Blog title is back! Now it shows on the first page but not any internal pages. These little bugs sure are odd.

Okay I had to delete

<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

From

<div id="masthead">
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<h1>TOOK IT OUT OF HERE</h1>
<?php } else { ?>

Kind of surprised that these customizations are necessary. The site is designed to replace the title with the header and it worked for me before (or it seemed to).

Cool that worked, don't be surprised about the customizations lot's of choices for users to make.

They have done a great job so far and these temp fixes are just things that users like you and I are doing in the meantime until the code is updated.

I'm glad it's been released, so we can play with it.

So you said that your author image did not show, are you putting it in images under the themes dir.

I looked and it seems that your calling the image from an uploaded image in your wp-content/uploads/2008/03/

The image file needs to be under images in your themes dir.

Admin needs to provide better tutorials for mimbo pro.
It's simple to fix the author image. This is how I did it:
1. Go to user setting in wordpress and input your first name in the first name section (e.g. ben)
2. Then save the image that you want to use with your first name (e.g. ben.jpg)
3. Place image into the image directory of the mimbo pro theme
3. Make sure that the image is jpg

Let me know if that helps ok
