Global Page Header Title Background

To set your global page header title background style you will want to log into WordPress and go to Appearance > Customize > General Theme Options > Page Header Title. From this panel you can select your desired style and you’ll want to choose “Background Image”.

Once you set the style to “Background Image” scroll down a bit to locate the setting to define your background image. Here you can also select if you want your posts and pages to automatically display their featured image as the background.

Typography: When using the Global page header title style you can customize your font size, font weight, line height and other typography settings for your page header title via the settings at Customize > Typography. You will find options for the page title, breadcrumbs and subheading. This settings only apply to the Global page header title style so they don’t conflict when setting a custom title style on a per-page basis.

Single Page/Post Title Background

Simply go to edit any page or post, find the settings metabox and click on the “Title” tab then from the “Title Style” option select “Background Image”.

Important: When you set a custom page header title style on a per-page basis they will use their own styling. This means the Customizer typography or other Page title settings will not affect the design. This is to prevent issues when you style your global page header style from affecting the look of each different page title style.
