 * Hi,
 * I have done a search and found a similar post but it didn’t fix my problem.
 * When I change my permalinks to “pretty” permalinks for example:
    /%category%/%
   postname%/%post_id%/
 * It breaks the header on every page other than the home page (the home page is
   what every page should look like and does when I use default permalinks).
 * My website is:
    [http://www.adanaspland.com](http://www.adanaspland.com)
 * Header code is available here:
    [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/8kM36AL6](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/8kM36AL6)
 * I hope that is all the information you require, cheers guys.

 * try:
 * -deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the problem.
   If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit.
 * -switching to the default theme (“twentyten”) for a moment by renaming your current
   theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back
   to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue.

 * Hi t-p,
 * Thank you for your prompt response.
 * Unfortunately, deactivating all the plugins didn’t work.
 * Went in and renamed my current theme so it would switch back to the default theme(“
   twentyten”) as you instructed it did this.
 * Link to my site: [http://www.adanaspland.com](http://www.adanaspland.com)
 * My little logo header which was dropping off on other pages when using “pretty”
   permalinks has now completely ran away.
 * So would that mean it is not necessarily theme related but my dodgy attempt at
   code in the header.php?
 * Should i switch back to previous theme so people can see the issue?

 * I am not sure if i follow you.
 * As I see, your header looks normal, then beneath your post title there is “Open”
   logo which looks normal.

 * Sorry I have taken the site back to where we started I’ll try and explain it 
   again.
 * If you have a look at:
    [http://www.adanaspland.com](http://www.adanaspland.com)
 * Now if you have a look at this page:
    [http://www.adanaspland.com/about](http://www.adanaspland.com/about)
 * See the difference? The header image has been replaced with text, if I use the
   default permalinks it is fine. It only switches back to text if I change to “
   pretty” permalinks which I am currently using.
 * Thank you for your continued help and patience.

 * Try re-saving your permalink structure at Admin panel>>>Settings>>>Permalinks.
   WordPress either creates/amends the .htaccess file for you or provides you with
   the correct block of code to manually add to your .htaccess file.

 * My host is Godaddy so I assume this could be the problem fixing it is another
   thing… This is what my .htaccess file looks like:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * I sent the below email to Godaddy support. I don’t like my chances of them being
   able to help but perhaps they have been made aware of the problem previously 
   and hopefully have an answer.

 * WOOHOO! Seems I didn’t search hard enough eventually found a solution posted 
   by moshu /iridax…. 2 years ago.
 * Anyone who finds this make sure you do the following in your header code:
 * `<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/my-pic.jpg" alt="" />`
