    In spite of everything I’ve done, I can’t get the header image from on top of the background in the header. I uploaded a new image and changed it’s name to kubrickheader.jpg. I changed sizes and margins to match my site successfully, but this one has me stumped. I’ve looked at other threads, but the advice didn’t do the trick for me. I know it can be done, because I’ve seen it. Here it is, maybe somebody can see what I’m not.

    I guess I can’t even get a link to post. Trying again.

    The kubrick theme does some weird things with the header image. You can customize it from inside WordPress. It looks like those customizations are over-ruling your background image. I can’t guarantee that this will work, but here’s my guess: Try changing the name of your background image to something other than kubrickheader.jpg. Then look in the stylesheet and change kubrickheader.jpg to the new file name. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the tip, I tried it and the image disappeared altogether. I changed everything back and got back to square one. I could only find one reference to kubrickheader.jpg in the stylesheet. I did, however find reference to it in a document called header-img.php located in the images file. Changing that had no effect either, but I found this in the document, which means nothing to me. Any ideas?

    // Blank out the blue thing
    for ( $i = 0; $i < $h; $i++ ) {
    $x1 = 19;
    $x2 = 740;
    imageline( $im, $x1, 18 + $i, $x2, 18 + $i, $white );
    }

    Here’s another idea. Log in to WordPress. Go to Appearance/Header Image and Color. Choose “Revert” and then click “Update Header”

    See if that works better.

    You’re a genius! Worked like a charm. I had to remove the Blog Title and Tagline to keep them from showing up on top of my header, but I don’t suppose that will hurt anything. Now I need to figure out how to import my navigation system.

    Glad to hear you got it working. Make sure you mark this topic as resolved.
