 * Hello.
 * I am using the FlexSqueeze theme, and am attempting to apply a custom uploaded
   image to my header area. I have followed the instructions in the theme itself,
   made the image the correct size, and the image is not appearing in the header
   area when attempting to apply it.
 * Something is happening when I try to apply the image, though, as the header area
   changes to a brighter blue when I do have what I need to apply this image in 
   that section of the theme settings rather than just the default selection choices
   when that custom area is blank; but that area where I need to apply the custom
   image in the theme settings is, in theory, supposed to over-ride those other 
   default selections. I also do not see a way to turn “off” those other default
   selections either. Anyone know why the custom image seems to be being “blocked”
   by something?
 * What information would be needed to help diagnose the cause of this so I can 
   apply a custom image there? Or, what things do you recommend I try? Apologies
   if this was a bit confusing, and I’ll be happy to attempt clarifying this as 
   it’s difficult to describe without you seeing these settings directly.
 * I really don’t know code and am new to this so any and all help is much appreciated!
   Thanks in advance!

 * I was fortunate enough to receive the answer on a different forum.
 * I needed to go in to my CPanel and use the file manager. Once there, I used the
   upload feature to upload the image directly in to the header folder of my theme
   where the other, existing images are.
 * The only unfortunate part was that I needed to over-write an existing image in
   order to apply my custom image. I did save the original image I over-wrote in
   case I ever want it again.
 * I hope that helps anyone else facing the same issue.
