Where do I find the file that holds the header?

  • I’ve looked through every directory, I believe, downloaded all index.php files and header.php files. I cannot find the file that holds the header- specifically the header image. I wanted to add a vertical navigation menu under my header image, but I cannot find the file through FTP so I can modify it. I looked through the help files but I don’t see it mentioned there. I’m using the default (classic?) Kubrick template.

    Anyone who can help I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

  • Wouldn’t that information by in the style.css file?

    You should look in wp-content/themes/default/, there you should fin a file called header.php, that’s where you should code your navigation bar.

    Hope that helps!

    I’ve been having hard time finding this as well – I looked under header.php and what I need to know is how to change the width/length as it became too large?? where in the code do you do that?

    mrawicz, The widht/height is something you find in the style.css of your theme. Look in the wp-content/themes/nameofyourtheme/style.css, and edit there.

    thank you julia, big help!

    Sorry, I meant to say I am using a custom template. So, I went into the theme directory of my blog, and the header.php file states that “this theme features a custom.php feature”… I’m trying to find out where to put my new header image- I guess I am to specify this in the custom.php file somehow?

    Excuse my ignorance, I obviously don’t know much about WP, I’m not sure if I should provide the code for my custom.php file or if they are all the same.

    Thank you!

    If it’s custom code, yes. Use the Pastebin and post the link back here. Might be useful to also stick copies of your header.php and style.css in there too.

    Thanks for the help! Here is the link to the custom.php file:
    https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1395311

    The code from the index.php file is this:

    <?php
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
# ---------------------
# The Semiologic theme features a custom.php feature. This allows to hook into
# the template without editing its php files. That way, you won't need to worry
# about losing your changes when you upgrade your site.
#
# You'll find detailed sample files in the custom-samples folder
#

# send a 404 error if necessary
if ( ( !is_search() &amp;&amp; !is_home() &amp;&amp; !have_posts() ) || is_404() )
{
	header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
}

?>

    Ah – the Semiologic theme. You might want to have a look at the theme’s documentation first.
