  • 2. How do i change the picture of a header?
    Are you talking about changing the logo?

    to upload, you go to write. Then you’ll see where to upload from there. After it’s done, you click on send to editor, form there you’ll see the image on visual then next to that you’ll see code click on that. When you see the code that looks like:

    a href=”https://dogwooddistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/capj4gwd.jpg&#8221; title=”capj4gwd.jpg”><img src=”https://dogwooddistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/capj4gwd.jpg&#8221; alt=”capj4gwd.jpg” />….

    only copy the url code of the image. “https://………&#8230;..jpg”

    Then you go to presentation, then to theme editor. For the header, you look for this:

    #header .sitehead-left {
    width:50%;
    float:left;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    background:url(________________________________) top left no-repeat;
    height:150px;
    }

    then you paste it on the background..where I placed a blank space. You’ll have to change the code that was there before, and replace it with the one you copied.
    if the size of your image is too big, you can adjust the space.
    width:50%;
    height:150px;

    I hope this helps! =)

    its much easier to just give your new header image the same name as your current header image and replace the current one with the new one.

    but you’ll still have to upload it. . .

    but you’ll still have to upload it. . .

    obviously. theres a much smaller margin of error that way than what you suggested.

    When i go to WRITE. Do i click on the photo image to upload a pic? When i do that, it displays as a post or a page. That’s the only option i see to upload media.

    When i use a FTP to upload the pic (the one i renamed), the old one still displays even though i deleted the old one first.

    I had the same problem so here′s what I′d suggest:

    1 – Check if your header image is the same width and height specified on the header.php, if not, change these values wherever they are in the archive header.php to the ones presented in the image you want to upload.

    2 – You must ALSO change the name of the old header image in the archive header.php. For instance, you named your new header as “header_1.jpg” and correctly uploaded it to your blog′s directory, so now you must modify whatever codes you have in your header.php that may be redirecting to the old header image. In other words, if you have in your header “header image 2”, “header image 3”, you have to change all of these numbers to “1”. I′m no pro, but that worked for me. Good luck!

    the new header image is showing on your site for me. you may have to hit refresh a few times or clear your browser cache before you see it
