• Does anyone know how to replace the standard text header with a custom image in the new version of WPFolio?

    In the old version I was able to simply replace the header.jpg with my own image and everything worked fine.

    When I upgraded to version 1.5.2.1, however, I discovered that they have gotten rid of the header.jpg file.

    Does anyone know what the new work around is?

  • The instructions are in the style.css file:

    /* To change your header image create an image that is 	*/
    /* 900 pixels wide by ~150 pixels high and name it 		*/
    /* header.jpg and place in the images folder in your 	*/
    /* theme directory. Then add the url as noted below.	*/
    div#header    {
    	background-image: url(); /* <-- add url to background image between these parentheses */
    	background-repeat: no-repeat;
    	background-position: 50% 50%;
    	margin-left: 0;
    	padding: 1.5em 30px .5em;
    	max-height:150px;
    	min-height: 50px;
    	overflow: hidden;

    If you’re making more than these changes, you might want to look into creating a WPFolio child theme.

    Thanks! Not sure how I missed that.I’ve been reading up on child themes as well.

    Hi,

    I have a similar problem with the header text. I was able to insert my header image no problem, but the header text still remains. How can I remove this text without loosing the title of my site?

    forgot to mention the link to the site I am working on:

    Well, first, WPFolio 1.6 is available and allows you to make all kinds of changes, including a header image, through a child theme.

    Second, you can make the header text hidden in the theme options.
