# default header

 * I would like to add a default header like so:
 *     ```
       $args = array(
       'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg',
       add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );
       ```
   
 * But I use wordpress multisite and put all my codes in a file in an mu-plugin 
   so do not use the get_template_directory_uri().
 * Could someone show me how I get a default header image without getting the image
   from get_template_directory_uri(). For example an image from mysite.com/wp-content/
   custom-folder/custom-header.jpg
 * Thanks in advance

 * Did you try this
 * $args = array(
    ‘default-image’ => get_template_directory_uri() . ‘../custom-
   folder/images/header.jpg’, add_theme_support( ‘custom-header’, $args );

 * Thanks Konstantinos that worked, I didn’t think of that.
    I was trying to find
   an equivalent for get_template_directory_uri, but I just had to do it like this
   as you say to get it to work:
 * get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/../../custom-folder/images/header.jpg’
