Look: https://www.paulritter.co.nr See how the banner is bigger than the width of the borders? What are the dimensions I should scale the banner to to fit perfectly?

Thank you!! =)

Yes, I’ve got cPanel X version 10.

My full account location is: https://paul.buildtolearn.net, or https://www.paul.buildtolearn.net

My WordPress is installed in a directory simply called “wp”

So the location of my main wordpress is https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/ or https://www.paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/

I don’t think I have shell access, no.

I’m using the cPanel File Manager, and I can navigate through my files easily.

So I created a folder for the banners I want to cycle through, and I created it in the /wp-content/ folder, so you can find it here: https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/wp-content/random-banner/ or here: https://www.paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/wp-content/random-banner/

That folder has only 4 images that I want to have the banners cycle through, no other types of files as the instructions specified.

So, what should my new things be? Should I be using “https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/wp-content/random-banner/” or “home/public_html/wp/wp-content/random-banner/”?

Which URL should I be using, and for which variable?

I really appreciate the help, and feel I am almost getting it to work.

oh, another quick questions regarding the same thing, the instructions say:

Edit your index.php (or whatever file you want a custom banner). Anywhere you want to insert an image, do your normal image placement fu. Between the quotation marks where you would normally place the path to the image, type a€?<? PHP random_banner(); ?>a€?.

How do I do this, because right now this is what that section of my header.php file looks like:

/* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,
that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /images/
directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will
get cropped off of the image. */

#headerimg { background: url(‘<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/ss3.jpg’) no-repeat top;}

How do I replace the image location with the PHP reference, since I’m not actually using the image source HTML code? thanks!

but it says:

$image_directory is the full path to the image directory on your webserver. To figure out what this is, change to that directory and issue the command a€?pwda€?.

how do I do what? issue the command “pwd”??

I am, I put it in the /wp/ directory and here’s my code:

<LINK REL=”SHORTCUT ICON” HREF=”https://paul.buildtolearn.net/wp/favicon.ico”&gt;

And I put it in the head of my header.php file…why won’t it work?

I did save it as a .ico, sorry that’s what I meant.

It’s in my root now, I’ll try it in the WP root though.

EDIT: I tried that, still doesn’t work =(

aha, thanks alot, I’ll give it a try! ??

aha, that’s it, thank you!

I know, that’s where I’m reading from…it says:

/* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,
that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /images/
directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will
get cropped off of the image. */

And I’ve done that, but it still doesn’t work

thank you!!1
