    Though I understand css, I am fairly new to PHP and want to change the header background image. I do not understand why I must change the background image entries in both the style.css AND the functions.php.

    Is there a good source for php code learning?

  • I suppose that may depend on the theme. With the default, you can always name your new image the same as the old and you don’t have to change anything.

    Thank you. I had successfully tested the image by that means and although it works, it just isn’t good authoring.

    I’m certain I don’t understand php…I see duplicates of style settings in the style.css and the functions.php files. It doesn’t make sense to have to change style/design code in multiple locations.

    Doesn’t the functions.php get it’s cue from style.css?

    Some basic php understanding would be greatly appreciated.

    I have been in this business for 30 years and if it works, it is good authoring :^)

    Pick up wp for dummies (have it right on my desk) and maybe php for dummies. Those will get you on track. Lots of answers here in the Codex on how files work.
