    Not sure if that will work but if you don’t see the masthead position listed, try to type it manually, then hit enter and save the module settings.

    I did wonder about trying that – but if I do, it will probably create a custom position called masthead, which might then become very confusing if it isn’t the ‘real’ masthead position – do you see my concern?

    It takes a bit of work to create a block (like masthead) in the layout, so I don’t think that typing it manually will create a new custom block.

    Ok, I tried your suggestion (thank you for offering help)

    Sadly it doesn’t work. The image does display, but below the masthead….

    Hi,
    That is very kind of you,

    I am developing site – it isn’t live, so I can’t give you access. I wish I could.

    To clarify, I can’t publish module on Masthead, the position is not listed.
    I typed in the position ‘masthead’ see screenshot5
    result is: the module appears below the masthead – screenshot4 attached.

    I would be grateful if you can comment

    I am just wondering if it easy for you to give me steps to follow, so that I can make ‘masthead’ a position that I can publish to, please?

    Then I can follow the documentation instructions (attached) from your site.

    I have joined extension club to try masshead-module. But that is difficult to configure, so if I can just publish an image to masthead position, that would be a very simple solution.

    I would be very grateful for instructions

    Hi
    If you want to use the Same custom html module for masthead the Purity III documentation will work .
    While If u want to use JA Masshead module , Here is documentation for how to configure the module .

    Thank you, I have been using the documentation carefully, but cannot get either method to work as required.
    (Masshead module crops the image)
    (custom html module, there is no recognised masshead / masthead position to publish to, as the documentation requires)

    I will upload to a test site in due course and ask you to have a look and tell me what I am missing,

    Thank you

    Just to let you know I have solved my issue:

    I should have been following this documentation
    https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/purity-iii/layout-in-details#default-layout
    but instead got confused by this one
    https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/purity-iii/configuration#enable-masthead

    (Because when under page display I entered text for masshead title and slogan, if I also made custom masthead module it displays as a second module under the masshead title and slogan. I probably should have realised what was happening)

    Thank you for your offer of help when site is live.
    I will ask again later on for getting the appearance slightly adjusted, but I am pleased it is looking good so far.

    Feel free to mark ‘solved’ 🙂
