• Just got my new Word Press Theme for my blog. It looks beautiful!

    But how do I place my site’s name My 1st Garden into the new themes header image and replace what’s there now …which says:
    “fleur de lys” that’s the name of the theme not my blog site.

    So appreciate your help. I’m a newbie and completely lost!
    Thank you soooo much, Claudia

  • You’ll probably need to open the image into a program like Photoshop (or Gimp if you dont’ have PS) and edit it there. If the title is in the image then the theme very well could include a .psd file that you can edit.

    Do you have a link to your site and I can tell you what you need to do?

    Thank you so much! my link is: https://www.your1stgarden.com/

    This is wonderful of you because I know nothing about “editing a .psd file.” I don’t even know what that is. I thought that these “themes” would be sort of turn key user friendly things. Hope I don’t have to just bail on trying to have a beautiful Blog.

    Thanks for your help taddmencer

    This looks like it’s in your CSS.

    You’ll need to get your hands dirty if you want to fix it.

    In the admin to go Design > Theme Editor

    On the left you’ll see the text box, on the right you’ll find a list of your files for your theme. Look for one called style.css and click it.

    In this, look for where it says
    url(images/head.gif)

    And delete it.

    Save and check your site, if that takes the logo off, good. We’ll move on. If not then stop, and let me know.

    Next step.
    In the Theme Editor, open “header.php”
    Look for

    <div class="header">

    Afterwards put the following:

    <h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

    Save, peek and see if that does it for you.

    taddmencer! Went to places I’ve never treaded before! Got to
    “open header.php” thought I had added the name of my site
    your 1st garden but what I got was this:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home2/yourone4/public_html/wp-content/themes/FleurdeLys/header.php on line 33

    What happened, I was feeling so brilliant. Thank you so much for this.

    When I get this name site in the header will it just be black and white with no style or font? The help is wonderful. Claudia

    Ok this is going to take a bit more digging, so go to this URL and grab this free program: https://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

    This is called NotePad ++

    Now, back in your Theme Editor, open up the header.php and copy/paste all the information into NotePad ++. Find Line 33, which I’m assuming is the line in your header that you replaced, and copy paste that line here.

    Actually, let me go find your theme, and I’ll edit it and let you know how it goes.

    Ok, I see where I directed you wrong. So, I’m going to copy/paste the whole header and whole CSS that I fixed up for you. And yes, the title will just be a black text.

    Copy the HEADER stuff into your header.php file (under Theme Editor) and the STYLE into your style.css (again, under Theme Editor).

    Hope that helps you out!

    taddmencer, Goodness I can’t believe the effort you put into this.
    Thank you so very much. Here’s what happened:

    1. I went to header.php – deleted everything in that box and copied your stuff into it.

    2. I went to style.css – deleted everything in that box and copied your all your stuff into it also. HOWEVER!

    3. I accidentally when first going to header.php clicked on (home.php) and deleted it – then I tried to get it back by clicking on
    “update” – I can understand if you are finished with me. I really am very much a newbie. Thank goodness I saved the site with “fleur de lys” taken out of the header image:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Claudia Chestelson\Desktop\Your 1st Garden.mht

    At least that was successful. Am I doomed? Should I just choose a brand new theme? Thank you for answering this and again I so appreciate your major help. Claudia

    taddmencer! new discovery!

    My PAGE 2 of my site shows my Blog site with the changes made. It, of course, should be the HOME PAGE.

    What do you think? How can I get page 2 to be page 1 again?

    https://www.your1stgarden.com/?page_id=2 This is the link to see.

    p.s. taddmencer when you go to

    https://www.your1stgarden.com/?page_id=2

    you will see that the header image changes all the time which I had BluHost change to stop that rotating but I guess I undid all that and will have to get back the Image you first saw – that beautiful flower back at another time.
    Just wanted you to know. Claudia

    Here is all the home.php stuff. Just go and copy/paste this back into the right file.

    And no worries. We all started somewhere!
