    Hey,

    To change the header image on the default theme template, do i just make changes to the ‘css or do i have to change ‘header.php’ as well? And either way, where specifically do i have to make the changes?

    I uploaded the new image to the ‘images’ folder in the default theme folder, and I changed this in the css:

    #header {
    background: #73a0c5 url(‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom

    I changed ‘kubrickheader.jpg’ to the new file name.

    Nothing happened.

    Thanks,

    t

  • First, I would recommend you make a copy of your default theme and name it something else. Then, rename your new image kubrickheader.jpg and upload to your new theme overwriting the existing one.

    Two additional things you may want to do….

    1. Make a screenshot.png of your header and replace the one in the theme, and
    2. Open style.css and enter a near Theme Name and Description new the top of that file.

    The last two steps will identify your theme in the admin area.

    One last thing…on your new theme you will need to delete the functions.php file in the theme folder.

    Disclaimer…there may be an easier or better way to do it, but this is the way it works for me.

    I also copied the default theme as ekusteve suggested in order to make my own theme. One other thing you will need to do is to change the information at the top of the styles.css file in your new theme. Thtat is, the Theme Name and Description at a minimum. That way you and WP can distinguish it from the original.

    made changes to both style.css and header-img.php before and still doesn’t work. In that case, you may want to take a look at
