The result should look something like the below.
Full width image behind the post and page titles
I have looked at how Showcase Pro a Genesis Child theme that has added a full width featured image behind the title.
Then copied the procedure to my own custom Altitude Pro Genesis child theme. One should be able to add the following to most Genesis themes. I am guessing one can likely readjust to work with other themes.
Duplicate single.php (affects blog posts) from the root folder of Showcase Pro to Altitude Pro.
Or just copy the following code into a new single.php in the root folder of Altitude Pro.
NB! If you also want the same affects on pages in addition to posts then duplicate the single.php and rename it to page.php.
single.php = affects only single blog posts.
page.php = affects all pages.
single.php from ShowCase Pro.
