Changing header image in child theme

  • Hi all,

    I am making a child theme for TwentyTen. I’ve got the style.css sorted but now I’m trying to changed the header image to the one I customised in TwentyTen. How can I do this? Do I make a header.php in my childtheme and then put the image file I want in it?

    Little confused… any advice would be great!

  • If your going to add a header.php, copy the original 2010 header.php to your child theme folder then edit it.

    Great thanks! I’ve done that – but now I’m a bit unsure as to where I specify which image it should grab. At the moment my child theme is expressing the generic twentyten image and not the one I uploaded for the parent theme (I thought that the child theme would also express that image since it’s grabbing that template??)… So how do I make it do the same as the parent?

    Hope that makes sense…

    Thanks!!

    If the child theme was activated (currently I’m just editing and previewing), would I be able to change the header image through the dashboard in the exact same way as with the parent theme??

    Thanks!

    yes, it will have the exact same options, and will be saved separately.
