Hi, I just switched themes to neoclassical and am wanting to upload a new header, as well as take out the current rotating headers. I've tried uploading my url image into a few different places as suggested, but the most I've been able to get rid of is the upper rss.
I know this should be a simple task, but I just can't seem to change it.
Any suggestions on how I can do this?

wp-content/themes/neoclassical/headers/
look for this folder and replace your images as header_1.jpg, header_2.jpg,...... header_5.jpg.
if you want to add images more than 5 edit rotating_images.php file in theme folder.

So I was trying to find where that was last night and can't seem to find where I should place my image url in the headers php.
This is what is there...

</head>

<?php if (is_home()) { ?><h1><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h1><?php } else { ?><div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div><?php } ?>
</div>
<div id="rotating_image">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/rotating_images.php'); ?>
</div>
Any suggestion as to where I should place it?

you dont need to edit any .php file on first step.
you must create 5 image files (865x100 px). Filenames must be
header_1.jpg
header_2.jpg
header_3.jpg
header_4.jpg
header_5.jpg
and send this images to wp-content/themes/neoclassical/headers/ folder via FTP software.
excuse me my english not good.

No worries about your english. That was crystal clear to me. I've managed my autofocus themed blog for over a year never using ftp - so I have no clue how to use it. Any suggestions for a user-friendly ftp download?

you can use FireFTP plugin if you use Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireftp/
or WinSCP Portable for Windows http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/winscp_portable
or
Cyberduck for Macintosh http://cyberduck.ch/

Wow... I know I'm such an amateur at this, but is there no simpler way to change the header? For example www.cupcakesandcashmere.com, I would like something this simple. Is it possible to upload the image through wordpress or am I just too spoiled with autofocus?
Maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy DIYthemes

ok, go to AdminPanel/Appearence/Editor and find rotating_images.php and find <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/header_<?php echo $random_image; ?>.jpg" alt="Random header image... Refresh for more!" /> line.
replace it with
<img src="http://bettervita.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/header_<?php echo $random_image; ?>.jpg" alt="Better Vita" />
and create 5 images as
header_1.jpg
header_2.jpg
header_3.jpg
header_4.jpg
header_5.jpg
and upload this images by Admin Panel/Media Editor.

open rotating_images.php file in theme editor. copy and paste this lines.
<?php
$random_image = rand(1,5); // the second number should equal the total number of images that you want to rotate
?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/header_<?php echo $random_image; ?>.jpg" alt="Better Vita" />and upload your images again.

I got that part, and I've uploaded images on my wordpress media file as header_1.jpg. What else do I need to be doing?
Posted 1 year ago #
So I've connected to cyberduck, installed the neoclassical folder, created and installed header_1.jpg and can't seem to get it up. What am I doing wrong?

send 5 image files to bettervita.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ folder by CyberDuck.
header_1.jpg, header_2.jpg, header_3.jpg, header_3.jpg, header_4.jpg, header_5.jpg
