Works excellent with Twenty-Twelve theme and WP 4.2.2

I’m rather new to WP but been using 20-12 theme for several years; just the tough writing of several websites with no worry about appearance because 20-12 was fine for me as a beginner.

But I soon became frustrated that I could not change header images and recently started investigating how to do that. The forums suggested I check out Header Image plugins and saw that this one had good ratings and many downloads. A little nervous, I tried it first on a new site with little invested.

Works great. A simple download. Then I could quickly choose “no header image” and then in 20-12 I just use “Set Featured Image” which is part of that theme, select the image I want to place in the header and that image replaces the default image. The default image was the image I selected for the theme home page and it appears on every page unless you replace it somehow. But the “Set Feature” Image does not work in 20-12 apparently due to a clich?

Regardless, this does the job as I described and allows no image or whatever image you want. And the new image appears where you want it, above the page name such that it is truly just below the Menu.

Apparently you need to have the image the size you want it and place it in your media library. Not sure how that works but this has gotten my faith back in using twenty-twelve because I’m too new to be switching themes right now.
