Wim,
Then go here https://lodgecol.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header (inserting your web address instead of mine) and then choose upload image. Select your photo…
This theme is trying to paste the photo across the width of the page. You can change the height of it too if you want. If you just wanted your photo in a regular photo shape (rather than the elongated one to fit the page) I think you would need to make a file that contains your photo and the rest of it being blank to fill the space anyway. Upload this modified file (ie wide and not very tall) Otherwise it will stretch your photo to the page width…. Hope that makes sense.
Im no expert, but if I can help, I will.
Good luck.

Hi Wim,

If your question is why cant you add a photo to an existing header, you need to add the photo to your header and create a single file outside of WP (in a program like photoshop or illustrator) and then upload this as a single file into WP as a custom file . I don’t think you can easily add 2 header pictures into 1 header.

If you look at my site https://lodgecol.com/ the header is made up of 3 photos (done in photo shop) and then imported into WP as one file.

If like me you would like a different header on each page, I would recommend a plug in which I am using: https://nicasiodesign.com/blog/wordpress-plugins/our-first-public-wordpress-plugin-dynamic-headers/

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks for your responses.

I am an newby to WP, but had understood that messing with style.CSS is a bad plan. It takes me time to action, learn and play, so I apologise for the lack of previous feedback.

I am getting there… but any feedback on item 3) ???

THanks
