look at the bottom of the page. then click on any of the posts in the archives

The header image is no longer the last thing to load. My load times just tested faster 5 times in a row!

thanks again.

oops, nope. I lost site of that.

I got it now.

Thank you very much!

i tried it both in my functions.php child and main and it did not work. the header was from the same location.

I made: define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE’, ‘%s/images/headers/path.jpg’ );
Into : define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE’, ‘https://www.myheaderpicture.jpg’ );

can i point it to a different /offsite url?

The image there now has a url.

i do not want to store the image on the same server

I do not see the url of the current header image in either the main functions.php or the one in my child theme.

I want to find that url and change it.

I went ahead and made the change in my main CSS file and it worked.

Any idea why this would not work in my child theme?

And, will this be something that is overwritten with a WP update?

thanks!!

I just do not get why this would not work?

I searched my CSS for “wordpress.png” and found it on line 1202.
changed it like you said and added it to my child theme.

That did not work.

I also deleted the image from my themes image folder but pingdom spent even more time trying to load it even though it did not exist.

then yes I guess those have been gone from the database or misdirected.

I have already pretty much rebuilt all my widgets so I am good.

But if you would like me to try something for the sake of others coming across this issue and need documentation of my scenario, no problem.

no, all my theme mods are fine.
I had most of the html for my text widgets backed-up so i do not have a lot of work to recreate them.

I should be fine.

Thanks again for your help “theme diva”!
much appreciated!

I think so. I have a twenty ten child theme. all my modifications came through that were on my child. I did have to change the background color and the header image back and that was it besides the widgets.

One last question.

I have a child theme and I created a child theme functions.php file.

Does it matter which functions.php file to use?

thanks again

Thanks for the clarification, “#2” sounds like the way.

editabilty is a good word (to me) but my FF spell checker does not think so!

thanks esmi!

I am just confused as to the differentiation of the options.

What is the extent of the first option? are the edit wp-config.php and edit functions.php 2 different options ? <edit>I guess so that now that i see a thanks to “filosofo” for “that fix”

I think they need to just make it more clear by numbering…option 1, option 2 , …etc.

which is the best way? sounds like either the “edit functions” method #2 ? or the “relocate method” method #3? are they both the same thing? the relocate method says it is used for moving different server. I just want to change the name within my current server.

sorry for being a pain but last time i went through this it was a nightmare when bluehost told me i need to rebuild my site (but then they fixed it)
