Yet another problem replacing the Kubrick header

    I am frankly at my wits end. I am using WordPress 2.6.3 locally on my ThinkPad and cannot replace the Kubrick default heading with my own image. I first tried putting a reference to my file in the CSS style sheet. That didn’t work. Then I read I should try replacing the graphic in the file kubrickheader.jpg with mine (of course keeping the same name kubrickheader.jpg). And that didn’t work (I still get the same kubrik header). I tried a bunch of follow on suggestions to those, all to no avail.

    Indeed, I’ve read literally every posting in the whole wordpress forum on it and tried virtually every fix but none of them work. So I don’t really hold out much hope, but perhaps someone has solved this and I just mised it. Help??

    Assuming you have not messed with the pointers to the original header.

    After you replace the header graphic file

    Log into your blog.

    Try:

    Dashboard / Design / Header Image Color
    then choose Update button on bottom

    Thank you for your speedy reply.

    But alas, no luck. I tried this per another posting, and I tried it again at your suggestion, but that kubrickheader just won’t leave.

    Maybe I inadvertently messed with pointers, but I don’t think so. Anything I should check?

    One perhaps irrelevant hint is I also can’t see any other Themes I load into my wp-content/themes directory. I go to the WordPress theme directory, download the theme to wp-content/themes, but then when I open up dashboard/Design/Themes, the downloaded Themes aren’t there. Similarly, when I look to open a theme I downloaded from the “Select theme to edit” dropdown box, the downloaded themes aren’t there. Again, maybe this is irrelevant to this problem. But then again, I’ve tried so many other things who knows.

    Uh, nevermind. The operative template was under a different directory. Long story…

    Hi, how did you solve this issue? I have the exact same struggle to change that header and I went through the same path as you did and haven’t resolved it yet. Can you help?
