Image Header and Image Upload. Help me!

    Here’s my site:

    https://www.pyrodes.com

    2 questions:

    1. I want to change the entire header area to one large background picture. Here is the CSS code for my header in my theme:

    [CSS moderated as per the Forum Rules]

    What code and exactly where do I add it for an image?

    Second Question:

    I recently changed my theme, and now I cannot upload photos to my site from my computer. I looked at the file paths. What it is doing is creating a new worpress/wp-content folder when it uploads instead of just putting it in the wp-content folder in the base folder. It then assigns a path to the picture for the wp-content base folder, which of course is not where the picture is.

    How do I change where the picture is uploaded to and stop that automatic generation of a new folder?

    Thank you!

    1) background: #000000 url(‘images/whatever.ext’);

    2) Settings > Miscellaneous

    N.B. #000000 is black. You can insert any hex value.

    OK, the second issue is fixed. Thanks!

    On the first, I did this:

    /* Top Bar */

    #bar {
    background: #000000 url(‘https://www.pyrodes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/header.jpg’);
    padding-top: 3px;
    padding-bottom: 6px;
    padding-right: 2%;
    padding-left: 2%;
    }
    #bar .barhead{
    width: 870px;
    margin: auto;
    position: relative;
    }

    Still, there is no change to the site? What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

    Normally the header background image is in the theme’s /images folder. If that is the case…

    background: #000000 url('images/whatever.ext');

    will work.
