    Hi,

    I am trying to add a header image to my wordpress theme (which doesn’t come with one). I am new to PHP but I have gotten stuck.

    My website is: https://www.simply-elle.com/

    I added the following code to my child theme’s header.php file:

    <div id="header-image">
<img id="topL" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>"../images/simply-elle-header.jpg"/> 
</div>

    The image is showing as an error for some reason. I’ve tried adjusting the path of it a few times but I cannot figure out how to correct this.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Why do you have ../ in the src? that says “in the directory above my theme. Try getting rid of the ..

    I also noticed I had an extra set of quotations, which I have no got rid of.

    I got rid of the .. like you advised but still the same problem. My code is now:

    <div id="header-image">
<img id="topL" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>images/simply-elle-header.jpg"/> 
</div>

    you need a / before images.

    Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.
