Header Image Upload Problem

  • I am trying to upload a new header image and crop it, but I am unable to get the file to upload. I suspect it is a permission problem, but I can’t seem to find what file it is to check.

    My default image is a picture of Einstein and I would like to replace it with something else.

    Thanks.

  • What size is the file that you’re trying to upload? Perhaps it’s too large? Have you tried uploading a smaller file?

    Yea, I tried that. I made it 110px by 110px to fit the theme and it still doesn’t upload.

    I’m not sure where that image is located. I’v looked on my server for all jpgs belot my /vaw/www/blog directory and am not sure what one it is.

    It will be in your theme’s folder. Possibly in a sub-folder called ‘images’. If you could provide a site url, I might be able to narrow it down to a specific file for you.

    Sure thing. It is the picture of Einstein in the top right corner.

    Thanks.

    It’s wp-content/themes/inanis-glass/images/blogphoto.png. If you give your new image the same name and upload it to the same location via FTP (or using your hosting provider’s file management application), it should work immediately.

    Oh, it’s a png. Any idea why the I cna’t use the custom header page to get it to install and crop?

    Thanks.

    Doh, I just tried replacing it, and it is now black.

    Looks like the custom header option in that theme isn’t re-writing the CSS correctly.

    Edit style.css and change:

    #bp {
height:110px;
margin-left:20px;
width:110px;
}

    to

    #bp {
background:transparent url(images/blogphoto.png) no-repeat left top;
height:110px;
margin-left:20px;
width:110px;
}
