It would help to know which theme you are using or site url.
sometimes it helps to read, if you are new to a subject:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers#Changing_the_Header_Image
and the whole article in general 😉
The theme I have is I2aelba-1.
I read that page front to back and no help.
Cannot find I2aelba-1 WP theme from search. Where (URL) did you download the theme?
I got it through wordpress themes. I can’t find the url because I’m on my phone. The site I’m working on is cigarimpulse.com. I’m just having problems with removing the default images from the header
Either replace and upload a new Header.jpg in your theme’s images folder or upload a new image and replace Header.jpg to the replacement image name in style.css
div.Header div
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-image: url('images/newimagejpgor.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
text-align: left;
}
Thank you. This worked! Thanks a bunch
Hi all,
I’m a newbie on websites and I’m also trying to replace the header image. I had already read the Codex page indicated by alchymyth, however, the problem I’m having is I cannot figure out where to find and much less open the header.php template file or theme’s images folder. TIA.
to get to the themes images folder you need to know how to get to all your files on your host.
Some hosts have an interface that allows you to browse files, like godaddy.
Also, you can use ftp software to get in. (like filezilla…google or the docs section on here can help you with ftp)
Once youo learn how to navigate your files and folders, you can get images into that folder.
To get to your themes header.php, you can use the same method, or simply from your wordpress admin area go to appearance->editor and select header.php
Thanks very for your reply RVoodoo, it’s been of great help.
