Thank you, but that’s not within WordPress, so they’re cheeky to say custom header. I thought the point of WP was to put sites up fast. I could change any header that way, but it would take me closer to 10 minutes, not 60 seconds.

I found this page with a list of Custom Header themes:

https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/

But it’s a list only; no previews. And when I check them, half of them don’t exist!

And doing a search for custom header shows up tons of ones that do not have the Header page

So where can I suggest to WordPress to provide a way of viewing all themes with Custom Headers from within WP dashboard, that let you upload a pic in Appearance > Header please?

thanks

Some older themes will have an area in the theme admin options for choosing custom headers.

Thanks for your reply.

So would that be “PrimePress Options” under Appearance? If so it is not in there. I can’t find another theme Admin area anywhere.

Clayton, thanks for your reply.

Please can you tell me where Headers directory is in PrimePress and Showpic in iStudio.

Sorry, but I have clicked on everything in the WordPress Admin area, and can’t find them. Believe me it is not a case of “Can’t be bothered”.

All I can see is Appearance > (no header page there).

There is a PrimePress options page, but no Header settings in there either.

and Editor > files = code.

Sorry, but “directories” makes me think of FTP/cpanel. Is that what you mean?

How do I get to Directories from within WordPress please?

thanks

This is beyond my scope but if you link to your site, others may be able to help from viewing the code.

Are you clicking the title from the Edit page, the preview page or the blog page?

If in the Edit page, don’t click the title after posting; click the “View Post” link above your post title.

I always click Preview first to make sure no mistakes and images load correctly, then if that’s ok, I click the home page or blog title from there to see the whole blog.

I’ve worked fulltime online for 5 years and I have never seen them bigger in WordPress, so I don’t think so.

Although the above will do it, a hacker could still find the version number through the RSS feed, so here is an article on how to do it, so it cannot be detected at all:

Here is a link to some FB plugins, but they let users share your content on their Facebook. I just use AddThis button that does all the bookmarking sites.

But if you mean icons to link to your FB Fanpage or Twitter page, just use your fave image, and add it to a TEXT widget (in the Appearance > Widgets page) in the footer (or sidebar if your theme won’t accept widgets in the footer), then add the link to the images to each of your pages.

I would download the image, then upload it to tinypic.com or your own site. Then make a note of the plain URL.

Here’s the code to make images links (remove “blank” if you don’t want them to open in a new window):

<a
target="_blank"
href="https://www.thedomainyouwanttolinkto.com"><img
src="https://www.imageurl.com/theimagetitle.jpg"
border="0"></a>

Thanks a lot, dgwyer!

Oh it does have the theme name; they just removed the link – sneaky!

thanks, they are not showing up, I will contact the host or cPanel. In the meantime I will edit the txt file and FTP. Thanks a lot.

The blog is separate from the main site:
example: https://www.domain.com/blog/ and the wp folders are in the blog directory – all in public_html.

thanks, yes all the blog folders are inside public_html.

thanks, yes; the File Manager in Cpanel on the server. I don’t understand why people say I can edit the wp-config there, when non of the loose php files in public_html are showing at all.

Thanks, what I meant was, is there not something I can do to get the files to show in File Manager?

Thanks, I have now found it in FTP, loose within public_html > Blog, among lots of wp php files.

But it is not showing any of these files in File Manager even though I checked “Show Hidden Files” in Public_html. The only things that show up inside the Blog folder are the wp-admin, wp-content and the wp-includes, but no loose files.

I will try to edit the file via FTP, but all the tutorials I’ve looked at, say you can edit the wp-config file from within File Manager, so am I doing something wrong?

thanks

thanks for your reply, but it doesn’t tell me how to find it.

All the blog files are in public_html and it’s nowhere in there.

How do I find it please?
