    When using the dashboard appearance editor the changes I make don’t show up. Upon investigation I discovered that the following file was being edited:

    …/wp-content/themes/insure/images/header.php

    but

    The page is using:

    …/wp-content/themes/insure/header.php

    How can I make the same header file used in both the editor and by the page

    Thanks

    Leland

    Double check which file you’re editing. It isn’t normally possible to edit any files in a theme sub-folder.

    I have confirmed the situation on my opening post.
    I had a programmer create a custom theme for me. He used the Artisteer software to do so. I am guessing that he created this situation unknowingly and unintentionally. I perceived too late that he seemed to be a newbie.

    Which header.php file do you want to use? The one in insure/images/header.php/images/header.php? Could you move that file into the main insure folder using FTP (or whatever file management application your host provides)? If so, that might work but I’d strongly recommend that you make a backup copy of your old insure/header.php first – just in case the custom one falls over post move.
