Ah, you’ll need to edit the theme you’re using (in wp-content/themes) — specifically, the header.php — to use the header image you wish. Just edit the header.php and upload it to your server.

Thank you kindly for your valued reply.
I went into the file and changed the header details for the new header. Unfortnuately I must have done something wrong, because the graphic has not changed.
Can you help me further.
Kind regards
Jeff
I am having the same problem. I am using WP 2.0.1 and the Default Kubrick Theme. It instructs to just drop an image named personalheader.jpg in the themes/default/images directory. I did it. Nothing happened.
Hi

How do I change the header from the main siet at:
http://www.letterfromireland.com
to the blog at:
http://www.letterfromireland.com/blog/
Look forward to your valued reply
Jeff

Look for #header in your CSS. Change ‘img/westieheader.jpg’ to ‘http://www.letterfromwales.com/letterIreland_header.jpg’, and ’80px’ to ‘145px’.
Hi All,
I’m having the exact same problem, but feel like I’m almost there!:)
blog: condoperks.com/blog
As you see, the default header is gone. I’m trying to load this Image:
http://www.condoperks.com/blog/wp-content/themes/freshblue-idea-10/images/blogheader.png
Do I do so in the Header CSS or Main CSS?
Here is the directional copy of the Header.PHP file. Thanks, this has been driving me nuts:).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!– leave this for stats –>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<div id=”page”><div id=”header”>

Here’s code to logo of your website / blog.
An example image is now at “images” folder, you can simply
change it. Template PSD file is at “customize” folder.
Just edit it as you want and save in “images” folder.
The file should be saved as PNG file.
If don’t want an image delete the line below and place the following:
<div id=”h1″><h1>” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1></div>
–>
<div id=”logo” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></div>
<div id=”tabs1″>
</div>
</div>
Okay; here’s the general idea.
– Put the new header image in the images folder (or wherever it’s supposed to be in your theme); it should have the name filename as the header image for your theme unless you’re going to change in in one of the two items below.
– If your header image is being called (inserted into your pages) by the CSS file, then change the link there.
– If your header image is being inserted directly into the header.php, then change the link there.
– Then, upload all the changed files to your web hosting account.

All,
The Default theme ‘Kubrick’ is very hard to change, especially when you are not experienced.
The header image is drawn by a php script which is called in header.php.
My advise would be to leave this theme alone, download another theme and start changing that.
