banner won’t change in 2.0

    Hi, I just upgraded my WP to v2.0, and I’ve got everything set to the way I like it, but my banner will not change. I’ve uploaded my banner to my wp/wp-content/themes/default/images/ directory, and I have renamed it as “personalheader.jpg”. It happens to be the exact dimensions that it said in the header.php file would fit without being cut off. I’ve tried refreshing the page, everything, but it just won’t change.

    My site is here: https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/index.php, and my banner location is here: https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg

    Can someone please help me?

    PS – One thing I did notice is that when I unzipped the 2.0 package, it automatically named the WP folder “wordpress”. I renamed it “wp” because “wp” was what I had been using up until that point. I thought that maybe the banner thing is automatically sent to use a picture in the original folder with a default name of “wordpress” and that renaming it points the code that calls the banner to somewhere that doesn’t exist.

    Help?

  • in the header or index php files, you need to change the line

    #header { background: url("https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }

    to your new image name

    or, alternatively, rename your new image to match it

    Thank you!! =)

    Hi, I manage to follow the instructions by gregorsmith to display an image in the header. However as you can see in my site https://blog.rahayu.net the image is not ‘vertically centered within the header limit’ at the right as i meant it to be. What is the correct code to put in the header.php file so that it will be vertically centered within the header top and bottom?

    Thanks.
