[resolved] Still struggling to add image to header despite changing the CSS (5 posts)

    I'm still struggling to upload a new image for the header of my site based on the default theme. I'm uploaded the image into the images folder of the default theme. I've typed in its name to replace the kubrickheader.jpg and then updated but nothing happens.

    Do I need to add something to the header.php as well. If so, what and where. Part of my problem is that the instructions in the wordpress codex on 'Changing the Header Image' seems to be from an older version of wordpress so it's hard to relate to my situation.

    I've pasted in my header.php below. If anyone can tell me what instruction I should add and where I would be eternally grateful.

    <?php
    /**
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage Default_Theme
    */
    ?>
    <!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(); ?>>

    <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

    <title><?php wp_title('«', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    <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="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Atom Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
    <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">

    <?php
    // Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
    if ( !empty($withcomments) && !is_single() ) {
    ?>
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg-<?php bloginfo('text_direction'); ?>.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>

    </style>

    <?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>

    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="page">

    <div id="header">
    <div id="headerimg">
    <h1>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
    <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <hr />

    Thanks Esmi. I've now sorted this by going back to your original suggestion of changing the kubrickheader.jpg. It worked this time. I'm not sure why it didn't work the first time but it's working now so thank you for that. Much appreciated.
