adding image to header in 2010

You’d need to edit your child theme’s header.php template file.

I found this in the header.php

<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id=”site-title”>
<span>
” title=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>” rel=”home”><?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?>
</span>
</<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>

I tried putting a ling to my .png in various places, but I just don’t know how to edit the php

Is it even possible to put an image in place of the theme title here?

Thank you.

Try changing:

<?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? 'h1' : 'div'; ?>
<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title">
	<span>
		<a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>
	</span>
</<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>

to:

<?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? 'h1' : 'div'; ?>
<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title"><span><a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/images/logo.jpg" width="xx" height="yy" alt="" /></a></span></<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>

This code assumes that your image is called logo.jpg and is in your theme’s images sub-folder.

Thanks Esmi, that almost works. I get the broken image link symbol between two lines and /a>

I’ll come back to it later, I’m sure I’m missing something. Would you like me to mark this resolved?

Only if you feel that it is resolved. If you could post a link to your site with the missing header image, we might be able to sort out this last issue.

If you are up to it – Thanks. I really appreciate the help.

my site is:
https://wenick-photo.com/wp/

Here is code from my header.php:

<div id="masthead">
			<div id="branding" role="banner">
				<?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? 'h1' : 'div'; ?>
<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title"><span><a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>images/logo.png" width="180" height="30" alt="" />/a></span></<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>
				<div id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div>

my file logo.png is a png in the images folder of my theme.

This is essentially the twentyten theme

1. There were two typos in my original replacement code – sorry. Try using:

<?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? 'h1' : 'div'; ?>
<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title"><span><a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri();?>/images/logo.jpg" width="xx" height="yy" alt="" /></a></span></<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>

Perfect! Thank you.
