KubrickHeader.jpg replaced and function.php deleted

    15 years, 8 months ago

    Hello,
    I recently installed wordpress 2.7.1 with Kubrick template. I didn’t want the standard blue header. I wanted to replace this with my own header. So, I followed an article that guided me how to replace the standard blue header with my own header. Part of the steps to do this, is to delete the ‘functions.php’ from inside the /wp-content/themes/default folder. But, when I do this, I am not able to use side bar to manage widgets or plugins. This is completely deactivated. I later found that, for the sidebar to function properly, I need to have the ‘functions.php’ file. So, if I have the functions.php file, the standard blue kubrick’s header overlaps my custom header. That looks so odd. I am not a programmer at all. I can only follow what I am asked to do in programming. So, keeping this in mind, can someone guide me how to achieve this? I need to have my own custom header and also the sidebar to manage plugins / widgets. Any help here is highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Hi

    You do need the functions.php file. If you do the best job you can putting the header back in place and then post the URL to your site, someone will help you finish the job. It really has to be seen to be able to help.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the prompt response. I will replace the functions.php and that will messup with the header (banner). Below is the url. If someone could look at it and help me with this, that would be really appreciated.

    Hi

    Your problem actually is very simple. In your header.php file around line 41 is this code

    <style type='text/css'>
<!--#header { background: url('https://deeyes.net/wp-content/themes/default/images/header-img.php?upper=000055&lower=4180b6') no-repeat bottom center; }
--></style>

    change it to this and things will work as you want

    <!--<style type='text/css'>
#header { background: url('https://deeyes.net/wp-content/themes/default/images/header-img.php?upper=000055&lower=4180b6') no-repeat bottom center; }
</style>-->

    The comment characters within a style block are /* */ and not the HTML comments – that CSS was being executed even though you thought it was commented out

    Hello Stvwlf,

    Thanks so much for your efforts to help me. I don’t know what I am doing wrong here. For some reason, I don’t see your reference codes in my ‘header.php’ file. for your information, I am looking at this location ‘\wordpress\wp-content\themes\default\header.php’. But, I don’t see the lines you mentioned above in this file. For that matter, I don’t see these lines anywhere at all in my header.php file. Where did you find these lines and what am I doing wrong and why don’t I see those lines? Once again thank you so much for your help.

    UPDATE / CORRECTION:

    Yes, now I am able to see the lines that you have mentioned in your post when I do View –> Source from the IE browser screen. But, I don’t see these lines if I open the header.php file directly. Where am I going wrong?

    hi

    I’m sorry, I missed before that your theme is using a PHP trick – the reference is probably in header-img.php

    See the following videos.

    I don’t see a file named ‘header-img.php’, I see only ‘image.php’ but, I don’t see these reference lines in that file either. Here is the bunch of codes I see in ‘header.php’ that is comparitively close to your reference codes. But, other than this, I don’t see anything that is similar to your reference codes in ‘header.php’. Thank you so much for your support.

    Hi StvWlf,

    I did find ‘header-img.php’ inside the ‘image’ folder and that file doesn’t contain your reference codes from ‘View –> Source’ from the browser. Please find below the content of ‘header-img.php’.

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */

/** @ignore */
$img = 'kubrickheader.jpg';

// If we don't have image processing support, redirect.
if ( ! function_exists('imagecreatefromjpeg') )
	die(header("Location: kubrickheader.jpg"));

// Assign and validate the color values
$default = false;
$vars = array('upper'=>array('r1', 'g1', 'b1'), 'lower'=>array('r2', 'g2', 'b2'));
foreach ( $vars as $var => $subvars ) {
	if ( isset($_GET[$var]) ) {
		foreach ( $subvars as $index => $subvar ) {
			$length = strlen($_GET[$var]) / 3;
			$v = substr($_GET[$var], $index * $length, $length);
			if ( $length == 1 ) $v = '' . $v . $v;
			$$subvar = hexdec( $v );
			if ( $$subvar < 0 || $$subvar > 255 )

	} else {
		$default = true;

	list ( $r1, $g1, $b1, $r2, $g2, $b2 ) = array ( 105, 174, 231, 65, 128, 182 );

$im = imagecreatefromjpeg($img);

	$color = imagecolorallocate( $im, $r, $g, $b );

    Hello Figaro,
    Thanks for trying to help me here. I did look at your link and watched your Video 3 of 3 from the link. As seen in your video, I went to ‘header.php’ but, I don’t see any content inside the
    <div id=”header> and </div> tags to delete. For your reference, I am quoting below the actual contents of my ‘header.php’ file. Please guide me here. Thanks once again for your help.

    hi

    based on where that CSS is showing up in your header (View Source) it could be coming from the theme’s function.php file or from a plugin. it IS in there someplace. I’d check function.php first.

    If you can’t find it – do you have a Grep software? if so use it on the whole theme folder searching for #header { background: url('

    Hi StvWlf,

    You are awesome. Thank you so much. That fixed my problem. I found this reference code in function.php. I moved the comment tags a bit and that fixed my problem. Now, I am able to use the custom folder with the widget / sidebar. For yours and others reference I am quoting below the part of codes in which I found the comment tages before change and after change.

    Before Change

    function kubrick_head() {
	$head = "<style type='text/css'>\n<!--";
	$output = '';
	if ( kubrick_header_image() ) {
		$url =  kubrick_header_image_url() ;
		$output .= "#header { background: url('$url') no-repeat bottom center; }\n";
	}
	if ( false !== ( $color = kubrick_header_color() ) ) {
		$output .= "#headerimg h1 a, #headerimg h1 a:visited, #headerimg .description { color: $color; }\n";
	}
	if ( false !== ( $display = kubrick_header_display() ) ) {
		$output .= "#headerimg { display: $display }\n";
	}
	$foot = "--></style>\n";
	if ( '' != $output )
		echo $head . $output . $foot;
}

    After Change

    function kubrick_head() {
	$head = "<!--<style type='text/css'>\n";
	$output = '';
	if ( kubrick_header_image() ) {
		$url =  kubrick_header_image_url() ;
		$output .= "#header { background: url('$url') no-repeat bottom center; }\n";
	}
	if ( false !== ( $color = kubrick_header_color() ) ) {
		$output .= "#headerimg h1 a, #headerimg h1 a:visited, #headerimg .description { color: $color; }\n";
	}
	if ( false !== ( $display = kubrick_header_display() ) ) {
		$output .= "#headerimg { display: $display }\n";
	}
	$foot = "</style>\n-->";
	if ( '' != $output )
		echo $head . $output . $foot;
}

    Changes are made in the second line from top and third line from bottom. Once again thank you for saving my day.

    This is what I hate in my header.php (Hopefully this works…)

    How to replace the Kubrick header image.

    I found a simpler solution (applies to WP 2.8 and hopefully previous versions as well:

    1. name your desired header image kubrickheader.jpg and replace the original in themes/default/images

    2. Find this line in header-img.php:

    if ( ! function_exists('imagecreatefromjpeg') )

    3. remove the exclamation mark:

    if (function_exists('imagecreatefromjpeg') )

    This tells the header-img.php to die if the image-creating function exists. Downside is that it will possibly create trouble if the function doesn’t exist.

    Dear WP-developers: Pleas make it possible to upload your own image when you click “custom header”!

    Hi,

    I’ve tried watching the tutorial mentioned as well as following all the instructions given here. Nothing seems to be working. I’m using WordPress 2.8 and my site can be found here: https://www.aodstudios.com/reroll/

    As you can see, the head just wont appear.

    When I go into Appearance –> Custom Header it shows up just fine as the default. But all I’m getting on my page is the big blue space.

    Any help offered will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!
