### **Steps to Make Elementor Header Transparent with a Background Image**
#### **1. Edit Header in Elementor**
– Go to **WordPress Dashboard > Templates > Theme Builder**.
– Select or create a **Header** template.
– Click on the **Section (Header Row)** to edit.
#### **2. Set the Background Image**
– In the **Style** tab of the Section settings:
– **Background Type**: Select **Classic**.
– **Image**: Upload your background image.
– **Position**: Set to **Center Center** (or adjust as needed).
– **Size**: Set to **Cover**.
– **Attachment**: Set to **Fixed** (optional for parallax effect).
#### **3. Make the Header Transparent**
– In the **Advanced** tab:
– Go to **Custom CSS** (Pro feature) and add:
selector {
background: transparent !important;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
}
– If you want a semi-transparent effect, use:
selector {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) !important; /* Adjust opacity */
}
#### **4. Ensure Proper Z-Index**
– Set the **Z-index** of the section to **999** or **higher** in the Advanced settings.
#### **5. Adjust Page Padding (if needed)**
– If content is hidden behind the header, add **top padding** to the first section of your page.
