1.5 Default theme disables personalheader.jpg

Thanks Samaritan,

I found that too, but now my header image goes outside the header, to the left and top of the white page. The image is exactly 760 x 200 px, as ‘prescribed’ ??

Shouldn’t the personalheader.jpg nest itself nicely into the default header? (the one with the rounded corners)

Thanks,

Bert

Thank you so much for this heads up!

I was rooting around for while thinking “this should not be this hard” and then I spotted this post. My jpg is 760 X 200 and fits nicely, rounded corners and all.

Thanks again! I am sure this will be helpful for somebody else as well.

Hi,

I’ve looked everywhere for the commented-out section you mentioned. (I have a clean install of 1.5 and have never used the Kubrick template before.) Can someone please tell me which file I need to insert the php command into, and exactly what to insert (or what to uncomment, if I missed it)?

Thank you very much.

samaritan said where to look but i can elaborate.

look in the ‘header.php’ file that is in wp-content > themes > default

for me the section starts on line 39 and looks like this:

/* 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/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom;}
*/

all you need to do is remove the comment marks /* and */ that are before and after the #headerimg section.

Then of course upload an image named ‘personalheader.jpg’ to wp-content > themes > default > images

hope this helps! good luck.

All of above about commenting out script errors in Kubrick easily understood, but I STILL get no header image! Commented out */ and */ before and after #headerimg in header.php but still nothing. Same problem with black Letterhead theme or this basic default theme – header images download but do NOT display! It’s driving me crazzzzy! Images download but DO NOT display on firefox or IE – although on firefox I can right click to view background image and then back click to see header image displayed with web title and tagline..

I’m not a newbie to php but am to wordpress. Any ONE have a clue to what’s up with this header image display problem I’m having???? Pulease??? – I can typically solve most all php problems myself but this wordpress header image display problem seems to be more complicated than it should be.. I’m ready to go back to standard old php ’cause wordpress is just not working for me despite following all directions explicitly…
