Hello,

Please note that you can enable /disable some theme options globally in Theme Options (Header, General, Footer...) or for some specific page within Elated (Header, Footer, General..) page settings.

- In order to achieve a Transparent Header layout, you need to navigate to Theme Options > Header and set these two options:
- Background color > (any color, but it's required)
- Background transparency > set to 0

Also note that these are Global Options. And each page these same options from above, and if set on the page, it will override Global Options..

So you need to go to Dashboard > Pages > find and Edit single page >  scroll towards the bottom > check if these two options are set already.

If the problem sill persists please provide me with your site url + wp-admin credentials so I can take a closer look.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no predefined option to use text instead of image within logo area, but as you've already mentioned you can try to achieve it by using some custom css.

@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
.eltdf-mobile-header .eltdf-mobile-logo-wrapper:after {
    content: "Vladimir";
    font-size: 22px;
    font-family: Poppins,sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.928em;
    text-adlign: center;
}
.eltdf-mobile-header .eltdf-mobile-logo-wrapper a {
    display:none;
}
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 1025px) {
.eltdf-page-header .eltdf-menu-area .eltdf-logo-wrapper:after {
    content: "Vladimir";
    font-size: 45px;
    font-family: Poppins,sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.928em;
}
.eltdf-page-header .eltdf-menu-area .eltdf-logo-wrapper a {
    display: none;
}
}
