Twenty Twelve Child Theme missing header image

What have you actually done so far? Twenty Twelve does not have a header image by default, but you can put one in place at Dashboard > Appearance > Header. If you want to do more than that (such as with a custom header), we can help you get going with a Child Theme so you can customize at will.

This doesn’t appear in the child theme.

I tried follow the process outlined in this thread. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/setting-default-header-image-in-child-theme?replies=24

To make that code work, you need it to be in your own functions.php file inside your Child Theme folder, and you also need a properly-named header image inside an “images” folder inside your Child Theme folder.

Hi c.devlin.

I was having the same problem as you, having followed the same process.

What I had omitted to do is insert ‘<?php’ on line one of the custom function.php file. Also, make sure you’ve replaced the “mytheme” text in both instances with the name of your theme.

I meant to say …insert <?php
