I have made the changes but nothing seems to help………after I save the file is there anything else I need to do
My file header.php currently looks like this………..
/* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,
that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /images/
directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will
get cropped off of the image. */
#headerimg { background: url(‘http://diningonthevine.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat top;}
</style>
This makes no change on my webpage though………….I have also named and placed the file personalheader in the image file located at wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images
any suggestions would be so helpful….thanks to all who have help so far
I don’t know if you read my previous replies. I just took a look of your source code, your #header definition is still not changed.
Which CSS file are you changing? You want to alter /wp-content/themes/default/style.css .
When I try to load the image that you have specified in your #headerimg style, which is this img, I get a “file not found” 404 error. That’s at least part of the reason you’re not getting anything to display.
I finally got it working……..I was updating the file in the Word Press folder. When I updated the file located in the Public HTML folder it worked…….thanks to everybody for helping and having the patience with a beginner……..thanks again…
I am having the same problem. where do I find the “Public HTML folder?”
Hey all – I am having this exact same problem. I’m trying to change the header image on my site, mylifeonmars.com, and i’ve followed all the advice above and it isn’t working. please help. thanks!
