We need to be able to see the theme on a live site – preferably your site.
Since I’m working on the site at the moment unfortunately I can not make it live.
Here’s a site which uses that template – http://www.sluttyfringe.com/
And this is the homepage for the Charlottenbury WordPress theme –
http://www.amypink.com/themes/charlottenburg-wordpress-theme/
Hope that helps…
If you are talking about the funky colourful background image then you need to replace the image file here:
http://www.wotyougot.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/images/header.jpg
with one of your own. The size is 1300×400.
No sorry Dgwyer the URL in my initial post has been edited and that’s not the header I’m talking about.
I want to change the header for a site I’m building which uses the same template as http://www.sluttyfringe.com/
@skinflint – it’s polite to warn people of sites that may be of an adult nature.
@rich – that is not a site of adult nature, it’s actually a pop culture blog that focuses on music, movie, entertainment .. dont let the name fool you.
The site you referenced is using a script to rotate the “header image” as part of the intro div. Does your version of the theme have a similar image rotation script?
No my site does not Esmi, my expertise are kind of limited. Is it essential I get a scrip to rotate the header image ?
No, it’s not.
But it does mean that the site you referenced is using a bespoke version of the Charlottenbury theme and can’t be used as a reference to help you change your header. If you can’t use the theme on your site, you’ll need to find a site that’s using a relatively untouched version of the theme for people to investigate.
Ok Esmi have made the new template live on my site at http://www.wotyougot.com can you please check and let me know what you suggest so then I can de-activate the new template please ?
OK – got it!
The header image is still the background to the intro section. You need to create an image that is 938 pixels wide by 250 pixels high called teaser.jpg and upload it the theme’s images folder using FTP (or whatever file management application your host provides).
fantastic !! it worked !!!
how do i get rid of the clickable text ?
thanks heaps !!!!!!!!!!
What clickable text? Bear in mind that I can’t see your copy of the theme now.
oh sorry, please check now, have amended back to the theme im working on
i want to remove the clickable text in the top left corner of the header and made the whole image clickable
thanks !!
First, remove the text by adding:
#intro div {
position:absolute;
top:-9000px;
left:-9000px;}
to the bottom of style.css. Then follow the instructions in this Codex page to make the whole header image clickable but substitute #intro for #header in the example/instructions.
