Title: Can't edit header Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Can't edit header * Resolved [jaumeilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaumeilla/) * (@jaumeilla) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/) * I’m using Graphy theme in WordPress 4.1. I can’t edit the header image (I did some weeks ago) because the “Header” option in the admin menu links to the general customization page, so I can’t get the customization header form.

Looks like this themes’ custom header feature needs to get adjusted for WP 4.1? * Thread Starter [jaumeilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaumeilla/) * (@jaumeilla) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662629) * Thank you! * [m@rk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrk-1/) * (@mrk-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662630) * See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.1](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. * [m@rk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrk-1/) * (@mrk-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662631) * 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 😉 * [m@rk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrk-1/) * (@mrk-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662632) * Alternatively you may utilize the [child theme](http://bitbucket.org/MarkyMarkNo1/wp-graphy-childtheme) I just created, which enables header image configuration in theme customizer for Graphy v1.1.1. * [arriagal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arriagal/) * (@arriagal) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662636) * Hi Mark, How do you install the child theme that you created? * Thanks! * [m@rk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrk-1/) * (@mrk-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662637) * Hi arriagal, * a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) 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](https://bitbucket.org/MarkyMarkNo1/wp-graphy-childtheme/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.

After following your instructions I was able to add the Header Image. Again thank you so much for your help. You rock!! * Best Regards * [m@rk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrk-1/) * (@mrk-1) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662639) * 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. * [acavender](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acavender/) * (@acavender) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662642) * A search for how to change the header image led me here — thanks so much for putting this child theme together! * Theme Author [Takao Utsumi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/utsumit/) * (@utsumit) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-header/#post-5662648) * 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.
