link an image in header to a page

I have not heard back from you so I made some changes to the code to allow the header image to be a link to the home page of the site. It works. The code change is in inc/hooks.php:

function basic_the_header_image(){

$header_image = get_header_image_tag();
$image_link=”https://18.213.25.0/”;
if ( $header_image ){ ?>
<div class=”header-image”>
<?php echo ““; ?>
<?php echo $header_image; ?>
<?php echo ““; ?>
</div>
<?php }

The issue now is that not all areas of the header image are hot spots for the link. Is there some other place I need to change in any of your code to make sure that any spot in the image is a link to the home page?

I am using the Header setting of
Background without repeat

I am running version 1.3.12

Interesting data to help with getting you guys to look into this is that when I set the option for the header:
Image after site title

The entire image is now clickable, even the space to the right of the image.

I hope you have suggestions on what to do here.

Thanks

Jack
