Custom header image issue – default header not displayed

    Hi,

    My themes supports the custom header feature and I have set a default header:

    $args = array(
	'width' => 600,
	'height' => 400,
	'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg',
	'header-text' => false,
	'uploads' => true,
	);
	add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );

    When I have set another header and want to turn back to the default one I simply press the ‘Suggested’ one in Theme Customizer… and press save.

    BUT, when I reload the page the previous header is displayed again.
    It only works when I completely remove the previous one. This is not how it should be.

    Bug in Theme Customizer?

    Guido

    ps. I previously removed another function from my theme, called register_default_headers because I thought the other function is enough… but maybe it’s not?

    Hi there!

    What theme are you using and where did you get it from? Have you tried any other theme that supports custom-headers to rule out a theme issue?

    Hi Jose,

    My own theme(s).
    Only works with a combination like this:

    // Custom header
	$args = array(
	'width' => 1700,
	'height' => 400,
	'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/boats.jpg',
	'header-text' => false,
	'uploads' => true,
	);
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );

// Default header
register_default_headers( array(
	'boats' => array(
		'url'           => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/boats.jpg',
		'thumbnail_url' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/boats.jpg',
		'description'   => __( 'Default header', 'textdomain' )
	)
) );

    Did a quick test with Twenty Eleven.
    In file functions I removed ‘register_default_headers’ and added the default-image string in array ‘$custom_header_support’.
    The result is the same.

    Hey Guido,

    That is a little odd but part of me wants to say that it could be expected behavior. A strange one I know. O_o

    I’ll try and search the core code as to why it could be doing that. I have a feeling it will be in the theme.php file.

    Great.

    Please let me know your outcome. I don’t have enough php knowledge of this.

    But if a user should always register a default header image when using ‘default-image’ this should be mentioned in codex.
