` you could add the image html code; for instance: * ``` ``` * (change the number values to reflect the size of your image, and enter the absolute url to the image) * so the whole area should look like: * ```
``` * then add a new style to style.css of the theme; for instance: * ``` .top-header-img { width: 930px; height: 200px; margin: 0 auto; } ``` * (number values as above) * Thread Starter [matthewharmon102](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthewharmon102/) * (@matthewharmon102) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779613) * thanks thats exactly what i was looking for! just need to edit the image so it fits the screen correctly. is there a way of aligning the image? i would like it to be in the centre if possible * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779640) * if you use the mehtod suggested, this: `margin: 0 auto;` should take care of the centering. * Thread Starter [matthewharmon102](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthewharmon102/) * (@matthewharmon102) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779911) * i think the centering issue is due to my browser. im running the IE9 beta, which doesnt seem to align the site, but if i run it in compatability mode, the header lines up (but the menus do not). * [jtso23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtso23/) * (@jtso23) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779955) * Hey did you ever figure out the centering issue? I’m having the same exact problem and can’t get the header to stay put when resizing the window. * [jtso23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtso23/) * (@jtso23) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779956) * got it. * in my css I added the following in bold: * } * .top-header-img { width: 930px; height: 200px; **margin:0 10px; float:right;} * [usedcarsincolorado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usedcarsincolorado/) * (@usedcarsincolorado) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779957) * Im glad I stumbled on this forum. I had a problem with modifying my template that is in wordpress but this site helped me figure it out. My site was a wordpress site but because I had this issue with the template I changed it to a regular website but I think I will be going back. * [used cars in colorado](http://www.used-carsincolorado.com) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Need a custom header’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [add](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/add/) * [header](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/header/) * 9 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [usedcarsincolorado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usedcarsincolorado/) * Last activity: [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-a-custom-header/#post-1779957) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
