# Header image missing after migration.

 * I created a website in a subfolder and it worked o.k. I then moved all the files
   in the subfolder to the root folder. It seems to be all there except for images
   and the header. There is a place holder for the header but no image and if I 
   reload it in Dashboard it still doesn’t appear on the page.
    I downloaded the
   database with Export, used Wordpad to find and replace the url as the domain 
   name ,(minus the subfolder name), then imported it again. I changed the URI and
   the URL in Settings. And I changed the permalinks in Settings to match what I
   had used before. I tried activating a new theme then changing it back again but
   that didn’t change anything. What am I missing? The site is [http://www.flemingpress.co.uk](http://www.flemingpress.co.uk)
 * Thanks.

 * I have done. I can’t see anything that I didn’t do. Or at least ‘thought’ I was
   doing 🙂 Where does the theme get the header from? Even if I load it again it
   fails to appear on the page.
