Full Width Banner Adjustment

### **CSS Approach for Full-Width Adjustment**
1. **Add the Banner in the Full-Width Section**
Place the banner image inside a container (like a “ or a section in Elementor/HTML).

2. **Ensure the Banner Stretches to Full Width**
Use the following CSS to make the banner span the entire width of the screen:

.full-width-banner {
       width: 100%;
       height: auto; /* Maintain aspect ratio */
       display: block;
   }

If the height needs to be fixed to match the 578px, use:

.full-width-banner {
       width: 100%;
       height: 578px;
       object-fit: cover; /* Ensures it adjusts proportionally */
       display: block;
   }

3. **HTML Example**

<div class="banner-section">
       <img src="path-to-your-banner.jpg" alt="Banner" class="full-width-banner">
   </div>

4. **Ensure No Padding/Margin**
Remove any padding or margin from the parent container to make it truly full-width.

.banner-section {
       margin: 0;
       padding: 0;
       width: 100vw; /* Full width of the viewport */
       overflow: hidden;
   }

### **Elementor Specific Instructions**
If you're using Elementor:
1. Edit the section and set the **content width** to **Full Width**.
2. Under the **Style** tab, add the banner as a background image:
– **Position:** Center-Center
– **Attachment:** Scroll or Fixed (based on preference)
– **Repeat:** No-repeat
– **Size:** Cover
3. If you are using the image widget instead of a background:
– Set the section’s **Stretch Section** option to **Yes** under the **Layout** tab.

This will ensure the 1440x578px banner is adjusted to fit in a full-width section while maintaining proper proportions or design consistency.

### **Avoid Stretching with Proper CSS**
Use `object-fit` and maintain the aspect ratio of the image.

#### **HTML Structure**

<div class="banner-section">
    <img src="path-to-your-image.jpg" alt="Banner" class="full-width-banner">
</div>

#### **CSS for Proper Scaling**

.banner-section {
    width: 100vw; /* Full viewport width */
    overflow: hidden; /* Hide any excess */
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

.full-width-banner {
    width: 100%;
    height: auto; /* Maintain aspect ratio */
    display: block;
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensures the image doesn't stretch */
}

### **Elementor Background Fix (No Stretch)**
If using Elementor, try these settings:
1. **Edit Section** > **Style Tab** > **Background**:
– **Position:** Center-Center
– **Attachment:** Scroll
– **Repeat:** No-repeat
– **Size:** Cover

This will keep the image proportions intact without stretching.

### **Illustration of the Result**
This setup ensures:
– The banner spans the full width of the screen.
– The aspect ratio is preserved.
– No distortion occurs in the image.

### Steps to Use `mix-blend-mode` in WPBakery:

#### **1. Add a Custom Class to Your Element**
– Edit the element where you want to apply the `mix-blend-mode` effect.
– Go to the **"Extra Class Name"** field (in the "General" tab) and add a class, e.g., `blend-mode-effect`.

#### **2. Apply Custom CSS**
– Go to **WPBakery Settings**:
– Navigate to **WPBakery Page Builder** > **Custom CSS**.
– Add the following CSS:

.blend-mode-effect {
        mix-blend-mode: multiply; /* or other modes like screen, overlay, etc. */
    }

#### **3. Enable Z-Index and Backgrounds for Blend Effects**
If you're blending with a background:
– Ensure the parent element has a `background-color` or `background-image`.
– Add custom styles to ensure proper layering:

.blend-mode-effect {
        mix-blend-mode: overlay; /* Example */
        position: relative;
        z-index: 2;
    }

    .blend-mode-effect-parent {
        position: relative;
        z-index: 1;
        background-color: #000; /* Example background for blend effect */
    }

#### **4. Use WPBakery Row/Section Settings (Optional)**
If applying the effect to a section or row:
– Add the `blend-mode-effect` class to the row or section.
– Use the same CSS.

#### **5. Preview and Adjust**
Save your changes and preview the page to confirm the effect. Adjust `mix-blend-mode` values (`multiply`, `screen`, `overlay`, `difference`, etc.) to suit your design.

### If You Need Full Control Over CSS:
You can also edit your theme’s CSS directly or use a child theme if WPBakery custom CSS isn't sufficient.

1. Go to **Appearance** > **Customize** > **Additional CSS**.
2. Add your `mix-blend-mode` styles.

Let me know if you'd like tailored CSS for your specific WPBakery element!

—

### **1. Add a Background Image to the Row**
1. Edit the **Row** in WPBakery:
– Go to **Row Settings** > **Design Options**.
– Add a background image to the row.

—

### **2. Add a Section with Content**
1. Inside the row, add a **section (inner content)** or element for your foreground content.
2. Assign a custom class (e.g., `blend-mode-section`) to the section via the **Extra Class Name** field.

—

### **3. Apply CSS for `mix-blend-mode`**
Go to your WordPress **Custom CSS** area or WPBakery’s **Custom CSS** section and add the following:

/* Blend mode applied to the section content */
.blend-mode-section {
    mix-blend-mode: multiply; /* Use your desired blend mode */
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2; /* Ensure it sits above the row background */
}

/* Ensure the row's background works well with blending */
.row-background {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1; /* Place it beneath the content */
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
}

—

### **4. Add the Custom Class to the Row**
1. Go to **Row Settings**.
2. Add a custom class name like `row-background` in the **Extra Class Name** field.

—

### **5. Adjust and Test**
– Ensure your row’s background and section content contrast well to make the blend effect visible.
– Try different `mix-blend-mode` values (`multiply`, `overlay`, `difference`, etc.) to suit your design.

### Example HTML Structure (Generated by WPBakery)
If WPBakery generates the following structure:

<div class="vc_row row-background">
    <div class="vc_column">
        <div class="blend-mode-section">
            <h1>Blended Content</h1>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

This CSS will ensure the section content blends with the row's background image using the `mix-blend-mode` effect.

### **Best Solutions**

#### **1. Use `object-fit`**
This ensures the image scales to fit the container while maintaining its aspect ratio.

##### **HTML Example**

<div class="banner-container">
    <img src="path-to-your-banner.jpg" alt="Banner" class="responsive-banner">
</div>

##### **CSS**

.banner-container {
    width: 100%; /* Full width of the screen */
    height: 578px; /* Same height as the banner */
    overflow: hidden; /* Hide any overflow to crop the image */
}

.responsive-banner {
    width: 100%; /* Scale the image to fit the container width */
    height: 100%; /* Scale to the container height */
    object-fit: cover; /* Ensures no stretching, fills the space */
    display: block;
}

– **What Happens?**
– The image fills the container, maintaining its aspect ratio.
– Cropping will occur if the aspect ratios of the screen and the image don't match.

—

#### **2. Center the Banner with a Background Image**
Use the image as a `background-image` to cover the section without stretching.

##### **HTML Example**

<div class="banner-container"></div>

##### **CSS**

.banner-container {
    width: 100%; /* Full width of the screen */
    height: 578px; /* Fixed height */
    background-image: url('path-to-your-banner.jpg');
    background-position: center center; /* Center the image */
    background-size: cover; /* Scale and crop to fill the space */
    background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Avoid repeating the image */
}

– **What Happens?**
– The image will scale proportionally to fill the space.
– Parts of the image may be cropped if the aspect ratio doesn't match.

—

#### **3. Use Letterboxing (Add Padding or Borders)**
If you want to display the entire banner without cropping:

##### **HTML Example**

<div class="banner-container">
    <img src="path-to-your-banner.jpg" alt="Banner" class="letterboxed-banner">
</div>

##### **CSS**

.banner-container {
    width: 100%; /* Full width of the screen */
    height: 578px; /* Fixed height */
    background-color: black; /* Add a background color for the extra space */
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

.letterboxed-banner {
    max-width: 100%; /* Restrict to container width */
    max-height: 100%; /* Restrict to container height */
    display: block;
}

– **What Happens?**
– The image is centered with padding (letterboxing) to maintain its aspect ratio.

### **Comparison of Methods**
| **Method** | **Pros** | **Cons** |
|————————–|———————————————|——————————————-|
| **Object Fit** | Maintains aspect ratio, fills space neatly | Crops parts of the image if aspect ratio differs. |
| **Background Image** | Offers flexibility in placement and styling| May crop parts of the image. |
| **Letterboxing** | Displays the entire image without cropping | Leaves empty space (may not look seamless). |

—

### **Recommended Approach**
For a **full-width layout** where cropping isn't an issue, use **`object-fit: cover`** or a **background image**. If preserving the entire image is critical, go with **letterboxing**.
