Personal header — I’ve tried, I have!

  • I remember this was not easy in 1.5 or whatever version we had when I started … ??

    OK, upgraded and need to swap the header again. Lets see, I changed kubrickheader in header.php to personalheader. Also changed it in stylesheet. Didnt work.

    I went back to the old way and then renamed my personal header to kubrickheader .. thinking “bwahaha — I’ll FOOL it!” Nope, didn’t work. In fact, now even the blob header is gone.

    Dimensions are fine.

    Help?

    oh … the blog addy is https://news.rotemdesignstudio.com/wordpress/

    When I try to look at your header, which according to your source is at: https://news.rotemdesignstudio.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg, I get the message “The image cannot be displayed because it contains errors.”

    Going at it from a different direction, I get “Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): gd-jpeg: JPEG library reports unrecoverable error: in /home/rotemd2/public_html/news/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/header-img.php on line 31”

    That’s odd, it’s not pointing that one in the header.php, and when it did it still didnt work ??
    Wonder what this is about.

    I *really* don’t understand what the second one means.

    errr…. what I meant was that i don’t find that path listed anywhere in my header.php file.

    where else could it be?

    Well for one thing, the page takes forever to load for me, I’m sorry, but I’m a cheap prick on a 32k dial up connection… lol!

    Doesn’t appear to be in there either..you can leave that image in there, as long as you have it commented out in the header.php file.

    /**#headerimg { background: url(‘https://news.rotemdesignstudio.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat top;}**/

    sorry about the load time — I’ve noticed it too (on dsl!) and before the upgrade it never did that. I suspect it’s looking for a header image that isnt there. ??

    “Commented out” — sorry, you mean I should add that bit of code? any particular place?

    thanks!

    I’d actually really would just like to get the personalheader to show up …

    For one thing, re-upload this file: header-img.php to the
    wp-content/themes/default/images/ folder and make sure there isn’t any space above this code <?php in that file…then comment this out for now, it’s in the header.php file:

    /**#headerimg { background: url('https://news.rotemdesignstudio.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg') no-repeat top;}**/

    Until we can figure something out ok! I have done something for this other person the other day, regarding this stuff, I just took his personal header image and made it the normal header image and it worked… We’ll see then k..

    I couldn’t get the header image to work the way I wanted it to in my page, so I commented out the php and at the bottom of the header.php page, where it says:

    <div id="header">
    <div id="headerimg">
    <h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
    <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
    </div>
    </div>

    I replaced it with:

    <div id="header">
    <div id="headerimg">
    <a href="https://youraddress.com/"><img src="https://yourimage.jpg" border="0"></a>
    </div>
    </div>

    I have the header image in a non-wordpress file, as well.

    Zazen, sweet! Thanks for sharing that one.. =) I’ll bookmark this thread as well then.. Maybe this is just what jrotem needs too. Thanks again for sharing this..

    It has to be corrected on headerquestion.php too! Sorry.

    Thank you but what’s headerquestion.php?

    LOL A php file that doesn’t appear to exist in the newer version.

    Very helpful! rofl ??

    Neither of these worked, but I’ll give it shot again. Thanks ??

    By the way, Zazz, your blog and header are beautiful!

    ‘nother question … if I try your magic again, should the address be the address of the blog, ie, where I want the header to link to? Not where the blog lives, right? And the image path the full path from https://www.mysite/myblog/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/image.jpg?

    Is that right? Does it even make sense?
