So I want to show my content showing over my image, but only slightly. So in a sense the image would look like it was partly the background of the page. I do not want my content box to stretch over the full width of the page like the image currently does however.
This is the page I am working on; http://outside.hobhob.uk/test/?portfolio=mind-the-gap-2
This is what I am aiming to have it look similar to (focusing just on how the content text box is slightly over the image): https://s32.postimg.org/ytavty67p/13340631_10154339496581336_223276410_o.jpg
Is there a way I can achieve this with maybe changing the css of the content box slightly? Maybe changing the position or z-index?
The code of the page is currently working in a typical way, I am also using Visual Composer to lay out the content in the page, so this may help me achieve this in a easier way?
<div class="pagewidth">
<div class="content single single-portfolio">
<div class="post-content">
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class("post post-content-full"); ?>>

<?php
$pi_data = get_port_item_content(get_the_ID());
$n = 0;
the_post_thumbnail();
if ($pi_data) {
foreach ($pi_data as $content_info) {
switch ($content_info->type) {
case "image":
?>
<div class="item image"><img
src="<?php echo $content_info->url?>"/></div>
<?php
break;
case "youtube":
//check to see if the video has any options, the ? sign
$has = strstr($content_info->url, "?");
if (!$has) {
$embed = explode('"', $content_info->url);
// insert enablejsapi option
$embed[5] .= "?wmode=transparent";
$embed = implode('"', $embed);
} else {
// insert enablejsapi option
$embed = str_ireplace("&", "&", $content_info->url);
$embed = str_ireplace("?", "?wmode=transparent&", $embed);
}
// get original dimensions
$pattern = "/height="[0-9]*"/";
preg_match($pattern, $embed, $matches);
$origHeight = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", '', $matches[0]);
// compute new height
//$newHeight = $origHeight + 25;
$newHeight = $origHeight;
// adjust embed code
$pattern = "/height="[0-9]*"/";
$embed = preg_replace($pattern, "height='" . $newHeight . "'", $embed);
// insert an id for the iframe
$id = '<iframe id="ytplayer' . $n . '" ';

So I am looking to start the overlay on the <header>
section, from the page title onwards, while keeping the featured image as the full width background’ish half section. I want to avoid having the image basically cover the screen and so you can begin to see the content starting without needing to scroll down.
Yes, you can change the position pretty easily with
position: relative
andtop: {n}px
. Try adding this CSS:
