I have to confirm – in WP 4.1, there’s no possibility to edit the custom header.
In WP 4.1, header customization is intended with the theme customizer exclusively, the “edit custom header page” was dropped. Looks like this themes’ custom header feature needs to get adjusted for WP 4.1?
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.1 – could it be related to
Appearance
Custom Header and Custom Background screens removed. Admin menu links now go to the Customizer.
So, for whatever reasons, the theme removes the header_image section from the theme customizer.
Here’s how to enable it:
Open inc/customizer.php and (remove or) comment line 18 – change it from
$wp_customize->remove_section( 'header_image' );
to
// $wp_customize->remove_section( 'header_image' );
and you’re done 😉
Alternatively you may utilize the child theme I just created, which enables header image configuration in theme customizer for Graphy v1.1.1.
Hi Mark,
How do you install the child theme that you created?
Thanks!
Hi arriagal,
a child theme is an extension to an existing theme, a so called parent theme. So, a requirement to get it working is the disposability of its’ parent theme.
To get the child theme working:
- Ensure you have the original Graphy theme installed
- Open my repo, navigate to Downloads, click “Download repository”
- You’ll receive a .zip-archive. Inside its’ root directory you’ll find a folder “graphy-custom”, which is actually the child theme
- Just upload that “graphy-custom” folder to the wp-content/themes directory of your WordPress installation, next to its’ parent theme “graphy”
- You’re done. In your wp-admin/ Appearance/ Themes, you can choose between two Graphy themes, the original and its’ child theme. Just activate.
Would like to hear if it works for you. Regards
Hi M@rk,
I want to let you know that your child theme works perfectly. After following your instructions I was able to add the Header Image. Again thank you so much for your help. You rock!!
Best Regards
You’re welcome! A friend of mine is running the truly beautiful Graphy theme, but, of course, custom header support is essential for her, too, so I had to take care of and create this solution.
A search for how to change the header image led me here — thanks so much for putting this child theme together!
Hi there,
Sorry for the late reply. I got a feedback about this issue by e-mail yesterday.
I fixed the issue and uploaded Graphy to WordPress.org.
After review, you’ll be able to update your theme.
Regards,
