custom header default image (don't save customize)

  • Hi,

    i would like to use a custom header with a default header image.

    function custom_theme_features()
{
	$args = array(
		'default-image'		=> 'header.png',
		'width'			=> '1100',
		'height'		=> '150',
		'flex-height'		=> false,
		'flex-width'		=> false,
		'header-text'		=> true,
		'default-text-color'	=> '#ff0'
	);
	add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'custom_theme_features' );

    When i now go to Appearance -> Customize -> Header Image and click Hide Image the Image is hidden ??
    But i can’t restore the default image with a click on Suggested Image. The image is displayed correctly in the preview but when i save and go back the default picture is not there.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thx

  • I just posted more or less the same question here. (Sorry folks, I missed seeing frypress’s question first.)

    Try this for ‘default-image’:
    'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg'

    Make sure your header is inside the /image/ directory within your theme before editing.

    Well, I thought that would work (it did once upon a time for me). I tried this, and it doesn’t work for me, either. I set my default in this way:

    'default-image' => '/wp-admin/images/w-logo-blue.png?ver=20131202',

    …so I know the image exists, and it’s not defaulting back to it when I remove custom header images.

    Had the same problem – found the solution in twentythirteen/inc/custom-header.php

    You have to register the default image too!

    register_default_headers( array(
    'mypic' => array(
    'url'   => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.png',
    'thumbnail_url' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header-thumb.png',
    'description'   => _x( 'MyPic', 'header image description', 'yourtheme' )),
));

    Hope that helps!

    @uitznet you’re my hero. register_default_headers() works! that needs to be included on the custom-header documentation for sure.

    Thanks uitznet, you totally rock!

    Hi,

    Having the same issue too, but I cannot imagine I must also use the register_default_headers, because it′s not mentioned in the WP codex.
