How to change header

Admin / Settings / General

That’s been set since day 1, but it doesn’t change anything in my header. Do I need to go into the theme files and change something?

Thanks.

What theme are you using?

First look in Admin / Appearance and see if your theme has a control panel. If so see if the settings to make that change are there.

If not look in the theme file header.php. That is usually where what is displayed in the header is set up.

I’m using the Jump! theme.

Under Admin/Appearance I have Themes, Widgets, and Editor.

Any help is great, thanks.

You do not have a theme control panel so you need to edit the code in your header.php file.

Forgive my ignorance, but what part of the code do I change?

There was a part that said ‘name’ and I changed it to my blog title, but that didn’t seem to do anything.

Thanks again.

paste your header.php code into a pastebin and paste the URL from the pastebin here

Hi

The answer to your question is the line creating sitetitle.com is in footer.php –
<a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>" class="logo">SiteTitle.com</a></strong>

Further involved – the license for your theme states
“License: Free to use must keep footer intact AS IS”

This is what’s called a sponsored theme – there is a link to a “footwear” site in the footer (most of the links on that page have little to do with footwear). People pay to have this type of theme designed and give it away for free because as hundreds of people use their theme with their link in the footer, since each new theme user adds another link to the same footer link, all those links build up linkpower with Google, increasing the page rank of the footwear link page.

Hi, I am new to WordPress and have the theme “Hookup”. I am trying to add my logo to the header in the upper left hand corner and have no idea how to. I still want to keep the logo that is already on it. Could someone please help me out? Thank you.

Not sure if this will work for you but start here

your stylesheet is style.css in /wp-content/themes/hookup/ Or you can use the builtin WP theme editor

Find this section in your stylesheet

#header {
height: 125px;
width: 855px;
position: relative;
}

add this line, within the brackets in that section
background: url(images/myheader.jpg) no-repeat;

change myheader.jpg to the name of your header file, and put it in the folder /wp-content/themes/hookup/images

You will probably need to adjust the location of the image, but start by making sure that code makes it visible.

stvwlf,

thanks for your help and your patience. i got it changed with no problems.
