PROBLEM SOLVED (sort of)

As far as I see it, something is wrong with the twenty ten upload header-image function. But this is a description how I got around it.

1) Cut and rezise your header pictures into exactly the same size as the header image (default size 940 x 198 pixels).
2) Give your pictue(s) the same name as twenty ten default pictures. (The picture at https://www.jaktenpadenperfektapuben.se is called “berries” but isn’t the default berries-picture)
3) Upload your picture into this folder /public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/headers Replace the pictures with the same name (keep the thumbnails)
4) In the dashboard, choose the thumbnail with the same name as your pictures (in my example berries).

Still don’t understand why I had to take this rather long-winded detour and consider changing the theme. If anyone has found a shorter route, please let me know.

In addition to the three steps in my previous post

4) I’ve uploaded one of twenty ten original default pictures to the header folder. This picture now displays perfectly.

So back to the question: how do I get my own picture into the header of twenty ten?

I’ve tried pictures of the right size
I’ve tried pictures of the wrong size
I’ve tried pictures that work in other themes
I’ve tried firefox and IE
I’ve tried uploading pictures from the wordpress dashboard
I’ve tried uploading pictures in the right folder.

All I get is blank.

Aha, it was a link to my dashboard.

Ok,

I have now

1) Pressed “restore original header image” in said dashboard about five times (I assume that is what you refer to when you write reset the theme, if not please let me know what action I should take).

2) Deleated my header images. So now the folder domains/jaktenpadenperfektapuben.se/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/headers is totally empty (I deleated the default pictures earlier).

3) Deactivaded the plugin I installed (not that that had anything to do with the problem since I installed it afterwards and not installed it on another site that have the same problem).

What do I do next?

Hi Rich,

Thanks for answering.

I can’t follow your url, were is it going?

I tried uploading images of many different dimensions, including exactly 940 x 198 pixels since it at the dashboard said “Images of exactly 940 × 198 pixels will be used as-is.“.

I’ve deleated the default pics (from the folder) so restore original header image isn’t doing anything. Can of course download them again but how will that help?
