Hi, is it possible to display different backgrounds and headers within the same site? I would like to distinguish between my categories, as i intend to close my other site Unique Vintage Chic soon and just have the one blog.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes. You can.

Add different image at the category.php

Check the Codex for more info.

@tahmidahmed: You’re in the wrong forum! Your reply doesn’t apply to wordpress.com users.

@uniquesochic: But the first line of tahmidahmed’s reply is correct. Have you uploaded the images to your blog?

Confused by the replies here, I was told to use this particular forum by wordpress staff, who said I needed CSS help. My blog is a wordpress.com site.

I currently have 2 blogs with distinct styles.
I aim to keep separate styles if possible but now wish to combine my blogs for simplicity and just have 1 blog.

So in a nutshell, I would like to separate my combined blog content with different background pages and headers.

I should add i have no knowledge of CSS, when I’ve used it before its with the help of staff, who have given me the code to copy in.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

The two of the three replies are addressed to tahmidahmed, not you.
The one that’s addressed to you asks a simple preliminary question: Have you uploaded the images to your blog?

I currently have a background & header & want to keep it. Yes it’s uploaded to my library.
The images I want to use for a distinct category have not yet been uploaded to Unique So Chic, as they belong to the blog I plan to close.
No point taking up space, I will upload to this blog if I know I can use them.

Yes you can (otherwise I would have replied “not possible” instead of asking if the images have been uploaded).

Now, if you want codes: which category?

The category I want to change background & header for is called Unique Vintage Chic.

So:
First you upload the images from your computer to your blog via Media > Add New, click Edit and copy the image URLs from the File URL field of the Save box.
Then you add this CSS and paste the URLs where I’m showing:
```
body.category-153780780 {
background-image: url('BACKGROUND IMAGE URL HERE');
}
.category-153780780 #header-image {
background: url('HEADER IMAGE URL HERE');
}
```
