   I am transferring from a wordpress.com blog to a wordpress.org blog. I have exported then imported my files; however, I cannot figure out how to add a custom header to my theme.

   I went to Vigilance Options and found these instructions:
   Replace your top banner with a static image. Note: You must upload this image to /wp-content/themes/vigilance/images/top-banner and the Banner State must be set to 'Static Image' for this to work.

   But I don't know how to accomplish this.

   I have scoured the forum and only found 4 posts. I did not understand the answers.

   In addition, I see "The width is fixed at 596px." However, at the wordpress.com blog, my header was 920px wide.

   If anyone has the time, I could really use some help.

   Here is the blog header I am trying to duplicate:

   Here is its future destination:

   Thanks, R.L.

   The theme on wordpress.com has been modified. You may be able to achieve the same affect by adding the following to master.css:

   #title {
   display:table-cell;
   height:180px;
   margin:0 0 15px;
   overflow:hidden;
   text-align:center;
   vertical-align:middle;
   width:920px;
   background:transparent url(images/top-banner.jpg) no-repeat center top;
   }

   You'll then need to upload your header image (called top-banner.jpg) via FTP to /wp-content/themes/vigilance/images.

   Problems solved. I had to install the Child Theme for Vigilance to run alongside the Parent Theme...then I had the option of a custom banner.

   Thanks for the help, though.
