Trouble with custom header

  • When I started a blog in WordPress, many of the “custom header” themes were customized simply by pressing a button that said “custom header,” allowing you to upload an image. However, I’m finding many additional themes (i.e. PrimePress 1.3.1, Elegant Grunge 1.0.3) that say “custom header” and when I upload their files, I see nothing in the theme info allowing me to customize the header. Is it something I have to do manually in the code?

    If I sound pedestrian, it’s because I am ?? I’m not sure how to navigate these themes.

    If there is no button, yes. It will be something you do in either a .php file or a .css file.

    A lot of times designers will put header.jpg(png) or logo.jpg(png) files for the header. One way you could put your own in is to look in the images or pics directory of the theme, find this file and edit it or name your own header the same and replace the current one. You can find out also by looking for the current image in your header.php file or your style.css file depending on which method was used to insert the picture. In the style.css file for your theme it will probably be in #header or #logo div. That’s not a guarantee but it is common.
