FTP Address, ID, Password

  • I have downloaded a theme, Spirit 1.5, and want to change the header image. The WP2 Visual Quickstart Guide tells me to first find my FTP info, as in title above. My site is hosted by a paid hoster, not WP. My ISP tells me to go to my hoster for the info. Hoster tells me I should have an account with WP, which I just got, and WP should give me the info. Does anyone here know the real answer? Where does one find one’s FTP info?

  • If you host your site elsewhere rather than on WordPress, you’ll find your FTP information with your hosting company. You’ve downloaded the theme (and used it?) meaning you’ve uploaded it to your WP directory. Or haven’t you? You can always replace the image on your computer first then upload all the theme files later.

    Yeah you need to get your ftp details for your domain then use an ftp client to log in. Once inside you need to navigate to the wordpress upload items.

    Then go to wp-content/themes/yourtheme/header.php

    Open that file and you should see the file path for the image:

    <img src=”filename.fileextension” alt=”” /> – That’s where you will need to enter the location for the new image you want to replace it with.
