The Tales WordPress theme lets you customise a variety of different post and page headers.

Below is a guide for typographic and half-page headers. You can see examples on the demo website. See Cover Photos for more options.

By default posts use a typographic header:

As you can see in the screenshot above, the post title is followed by the published date as a sub-title below. Pages start with the same typographic header but have no sub-title by default. All customisation is done using the Post Header tool. You can find this underneath the main text editor when editing posts.

The centre Sub-Title column gives you three options:

• None (default for pages)
• Date (default for posts)
• Custom

Select “Custom” to enter any sub-title you want. Make sure to preview your changes because very long titles will eventually break the design.

The screenshot below shows a half-page banner with custom colours:

To achieve this effect select “Banner” from the Format column and then enter your colours to the right. Here’s the final configuration:

The best way to learn the Page Header tool is to experiment with the options and see the results! It’s advisable to use dark background colours because the navigation and search icons will always be white when overlaid.
