How to wordpress:WordPress - How to Change Your Image Header

One of the things that I love the most about WordPress is that it's very flexible. One of the things that I love the least is that some things are a lot easier to change/ modify than others. One of the harder things to change is the header image.

The header image, is the image that shows up behind the title in your blog. It's the topmost image on the blog, and is often what most people come to identify as the brand for your site.


Depending on the theme that you were using, changing the header image could be a simple matter of filling in a blank, or it could be something that required heavy coding in the CSS file of the theme in order to modify it.

Well, I don't know about you, but the more I stay out of the CSS file, the better. Although it's not perfect, this plugin does offer you a simple solution to creating/ adding header images to your site.

Dynamic Headers

The plugin does require you to copy and paste a short snippet of code into your theme's file. In my case, it was the theme's index file that needed the snippet of code, and I put it just under the line that says "< ? php get_header(); ? >."

After I did that step, my custom image header started showing up in the site that I was working on. It was really quite painless and in my opinion, adding the image made my site friendlier to the reader. See the plugin working over at this trail running site.
