Removing old theme header image in order to use Slider in its place

    Hello.

    I am currently using the WordPress Twenty Eleven theme on my business website. I have successfully installed the plugin and have managed to insert the PHP function into the header.php file.

    However, I want to use the slider to completely replace the static image from the theme. So I need to figure out which part of header.php relates to the display of that static image.

    I’ve tried brute-forcing deleting bits of code and replacing it with the PHP function, but the best I could achieve was to display the slider above the static image; I was not able to entirely remove the static image from the header.

    Here’s my header.php file (without the PHP function for the slider):

    <?php
/**
 * Header template for the theme
 *
 * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
 * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
 */

    Does anyone know which part of this relates to the static image and, therefore, which part I need to replace with the PHP function for the slider?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Got it. A friend helped me with the issue.

    For anyone wondering, here’s the header.php file that removes the static image and replaces it with the Slider…

    <?php
/**
 * Header template for the theme
 *
 * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven
 * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0

    Compare this with the code in the original post to see what I changed. ??
