 * Hi
 * I’m using the 2012 theme and added a temporary header image but it shows below
   the menu not above it.
 * [http://orsinijewellers.com/](http://orsinijewellers.com/)
 * Whenever I’ve used the theme before the header image has been above the menu.
   How can I get it to show above please?
 * Thanks

 * Before you do anything more, you really need to go back and create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)–
   as you should not be making changes to theme files. When WP is updated you’ll
   lose all your changes and it’s imperative that you have a clean, unchanged copy
   of the default theme for troubleshooting purposes.

 * Thanks for this info. I didn’t know about that.
 * So I’ve uploaded the style.css file
 * ‘/*
    Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child Theme URI: [http://example.com/](http://example.com/)
   Description: Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme Author: A_H Author URI: 
   [http://example.com/about/](http://example.com/about/) Template: twentytwelve
   Version: 0.1.0 */’
 * But when I go to the Dashboard, Appearance, Themes, there is no child theme to
   select. There is a message saying
 * “Broken Themes
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
    Name Description Template is missing.”
 * So I am even more confused now.
 * I appreciate your support – I’m not a code type of guy.

 * Do you have the [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) line? 
   Try putting just this in the style.css file in the child theme”
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Twentytwelve Child
       Description: Child theme for the twentytwelve theme
       Author: Your name here
       Template: twentytwelve
       */
   
       @import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
       ```
   
 * You can fill in the other stuff if you want to after it’s working :).

 * I’ve uploaded this
 * /*
    Theme Name: Twentytwelve Child Description: Child theme for the twentytwelve
   theme Author: Your name here Template: twentytwelve */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“[http://orsinijewellers.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/style.css&#8221](http://orsinijewellers.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/style.css&#8221););
 * but I still get
 * “Broken Themes
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
    Name Description Template is missing.”
 * Thanks again

 * Look at the [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) line you have—
   it’s not correct — it should only be this:
 *     ```
       @import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
       ```

 * Sorry – I thought I had to include the actual domain in that line.
 * So I’ve uploaded this
 * /*
    Theme Name: Twentytwelve Child Description: Child theme for the twentytwelve
   theme Author: Your name here Template: twentytwelve */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../twentytwelve/style.
   css”);
 * but still the same error about the missing template. I am totally lost now but
   I shall keep uploading and refreshing to see if there is a change.
 * Going back to the original issue, do you know why would the header below the 
   menu? It doesn’t usually happen. Do you have any ideas how to cure that?
 * Thanks

 * Make sure you don’t have any caches on your site/server.

 * Twentytwelve is not coded that way. This question has been asked and answered
   here a bunch of times — here’s one:

 * Thanks for all your help and responses. It all finally worked.
 * I go the child theme to activate, added header.php and then edited the code so
   that the header image is now above the menu.
 * I really appreciate your help.
