Another header question… I can successfully upload a theme, then I uploaded a custom header, but it doesn’t replace the “My Blog” and “another wordpress site” words that were automatically there when I installed WordPress.
I tried removing the header, and on the header page, the box is completely blank. But when I load the header again, and hit preview, still shows “My Blog” and “another wordpress site” in addition to my uploaded header.
How do I make that go away? Thanks!

Figured it out. Finally got the right thing typed into forum search engine and got an answer. Thanks!
Hi mydanblog,
thanks for your answer 🙂
I tried to modify my CSS file as follows.
1) In a first time, I add your suggested file, modifying the default one, as it appeared in “structure” of CSS:
#header {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
height: 260px;
width: 1054px;
color: #000;
}
Result: Forget about it! It doesn’t work 🙁
2) Then I add your file, modifying the default one, as it appeared in a part of “Typography & Colors” of CSS:
#header .description {
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0 0 39px;
font-weight: bold;
}
Result: Forget about it! It doesn’t work 🙁
Maybe I have to change this?
h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited, #header .description {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
}
I am always ready to upload a Plugin to solve this damned issue… If it really exists!
Please, let me know your opinion about that.
Thanks a lot.
Ciao ^__^
Stay with it, Senzavento, you will get it. I have successfully installed the greyzed theme and changed the header image on my test site.
All I did was to upload the image that I wanted to my
/wp-content/themes/greyzed/images/ directory.
Then, I went into my style.css file and I changed this:
#header {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
height: 260px;
width: 1054px;
color: #000;
}
To This:
#header {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
height: 260px;
width: 1054px;
color: #000;
background: url('images/YOUR_IMAGE_FILE_NAME_HERE') top center no-repeat;
}
Make sure to include the .jpg or .png or similar extension to your filename.
Hello, I too am having problems and this looks like the thread to get great help. If I figure it out, maybe I can help out as well. My site is http://www.frankfactor.net. I also added my image, “url(images/logo_merged_layers.jpg)” into my header which originally did not have an image. Now it is all catterwonky!How do I get the image to ride ontop of my blue background without the annoying white border, then how do I get it to be above my site summary statement and not smack dab right on top of that (code below).

I love catterwonky sites 🙂
I’ll be happy to help you sort it out.
Before I go moving things around, let’s get a feel for your site description (summary statement). Go ahead and set that so I can see how big it will be.
For most themes, you can set that in the wordpress dashboard under settings=>general=>tagline
I got it. I went into css and added some height to the header and that worked. How would I remove the giant RSS icon on the right side of the page because I have a small rss icon I am using for each article that came with a plugin.
in your css, look for
.feeds .rss
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
Replace with
.feeds .rss
{
display: none;
}
That worked. I would’ve never known to do that. Thanks 🙂
Dear mydanblog,
thanks a lot for your kind collaboration 🙂
You are the “number 1”!
Following your suggestions I reached the target \(^_^)/
But now, before modifying the blog, I’m trying to respect the original colours of the “header” (Black & Grey) by using my Graphics Program.
I think my logo is too white at the moment, as you may see connecting to http://www.senzavento.it/wordpress/wp-login.php
Other ideas are welcome!
Ciao.
Dear friends,
finally I reached my objective 😀
Thanks everybody for the suggestions and a very special thanks to mydanblog.
Following his guidelines I have just changed the “header” of my blog.
Now, my personal logo appears on the main page.
You may see the result, connecting to http://www.senzavento.it
I hope you like it!
Grazie!
Ciao.
Crap – almost!!!
Dan I followed your instrux and pasted exactly what you suggested but my logo is freaking humongous – LOL.
I tried a few other things and Im close to it but can’t seem to get the placement/sizing right.
Do I need to resize the image elsewhere in the header???
I know you’re onto the right thing as I can see the logo I want to insert but it’s up under the text partially so it’s cut off.
Beagle,
If I remember right, I had it set to a 104 height. If you image is more than about 80px high, we’d need to adjust the header size, too.
I’ll be online for a while. If you put the image up, I’ll help you tweak it.
Wow, that jacks it up pretty good. I’ll play with it a bit, but we might need to do some image editing.
