Help adding images to header

  • Hello, I am using the twenty twelve theme on my website.

    I am trying to get an image on my site which hangs from the header area down into the menu section (and even into the right sidebar section). Is there any easy way to accomplish this? I know how to add images in the header area, but if I put the longer image into that section, it just extends the header area and lowers the menu bar way too far down.

    I hope this makes sense and someone can enlighten me with this.

    Thanks.

  • Please do not edit theme files directly, because you will lose all the customization works uppon theme updates. And it’s hard to keep track of changes.

    • Revert the theme to its original.
    • Create a child theme.

    • Use child theme to override this template header.php, just move header image from down below navigation bar to above it.
    • Make your header image bigger than it is now, make it 960px in width.
    • Under Appearance > Header, upload the image.
    • Uncheck display site title/discription text.

    Further adjustment could be done via child theme stylesheet and only with the understanding that this theme’s layout is responsive and using a so called mobile first method.

    Good advice. I never thought about the main theme reverting back to the original version upon update. I’ll see if I can play around with it to see if I cam make what you said work.
