Is it possible to have a header image in the Classic theme?

  • Hi,

    I’ve been checking different templates out for my blog and so far I like the Classic Theme the best, but I am trying to figure out how to have an image instead of just color in the header. There is no images folder in that theme, so I guess it would be through the style.css, but I am not sure how to do that.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • yes, in the stylesheet
    find this:

    #header {
	background: #90a090;
	border-bottom: 3px double #aba;
	border-left: 1px solid #9a9;
	border-right: 1px solid #565;
	border-top: 1px solid #9a9;
	font: italic normal 230% 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
	letter-spacing: 0.2em;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 15px 10px 15px 60px;
}

    change the background line to this:
    background: #90a090 url(my_header.jpg) no-repeat;
    make sure you change my_header.jpg to the name of your header file.

    also add a line
    height: 150px;
    and make sure instead of 150 its the height of your header image.

    put the header image in the folder with the theme’s php files – that will work with the background code above

    You may have to play with the padding.
    padding: 15px 10px 15px 60px;
    the order is top right bottom left

    If you need to adjust the text that appears in the header area its in header.php

    Thanks, I will give it a try.

    I was able to change the header with the classic-ii theme, but I just cannot get the classic theme to use my image for the header instead of the color. UGH.
