You’re absolutely right, but it’s a different header image that I’m trying to add. It’s the same thing but a different colour. It was provided to me when I bought my theme – the creator told me that I need to upload the new image in Appearances – Header.

Thank you Alain,

I’m still struggling unfortunately. I have uploaded the media in the correct size and got the link for it: “http://www.satinandsnowflakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/header.png”

But looking at the stle.css, I can’t find the exact location you’re talking about. Here’s what I have. I don’t really know which one I’m supposed to write it in.

/* Header
------------------------------------------------------------ */

#header {
	background: #fff url();
	height: 165px;
	overflow: hidden;
	width: 960px;
}

#title-area {
	float: left;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 20px 0 0;
	width: 265px;
}

#title {
	font-size: 24px;
	line-height: 30px;
}

#title a,
#title a:hover {
	color: #80512a;
	text-decoration: none;
}

#description {
	font-size: 12px;
	font-style: italic;
}

#header .widget-area {
	float: right;
	width: 690px;
	padding: 15px 0 0 0;
}

/* Image Header - Partial Width
------------------------------------------------------------ */

.header-image #title-area,
.header-image #title,
.header-image #title a {
	display: block;
	float: left;
	height: 165px;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 0;
	text-indent: -9999px;
	width: 265px;
}

.header-image #description {
	display: block;
	overflow: hidden;
}

/* Image Header - Full Width

.header-full-width #title-area,
.header-full-width #title,
.header-full-width #title a {
	width: 960px;

I have backed up (for the first time ever)the site, and I have tried re-installing WordPress (I’m hitting the “Re-Install Now” button on the updates page) about 4 times now. I have turned off all plugins, including Jetpack, and it hasn’t solved the problem. I reviewed all my settings again to confirm that I haven’t done something that would turn off the visual editor, but nothing seems fishy.

I’m totally lost!

Actually, it looks like all my media is on the dashboard, but no posts, comments, links, etc. Any ideas?

Howdy Paul!

By “back end”, I’m assuming you mean in the Dashboard? No, there are no posts, no categories, no menus… nothing. It’s the exact same screen/set up as when a new WordPress user starts a new blog from scratch.

I do, however, have a brand new theme installed. I fell in love with the theme and knew that I couldn’t use it on WordPress.com, so I have set up a .org site to use it. I have a fair amount of traffic and don’t have a way to direct readers to the old site while I work on the new, so the sooner I can get my old posts imported and visible, the better!

Thanks again Paul.
