can’t see custom header
-
hi,
i just finished my redesign of the K2-lite theme and uploaded the custom CSS. But now I can’t see my custom header.i’m not a programmer and was really winging it with the CSS. ;) So i have no idea why I can’t get the header graphic to show up when i upload it.
thanks for your help!!!

If you pasted the entire CSS style sheet into the editor, and then selected the “start from scratch and just use this” button, what you have done is to break the relative URL links in the CSS. Also, once you go with the custom CSS, you cannot use the custom header uploader.
What you need to do is to upload the header image to your media library, get the URL of that image and then put it into the appropriate place in your CSS.

Since you use a lot of images in your posts, my other suggestion is to limit the number of posts shown per page to something like perhaps 5 (settings > reading) to make your pages load faster and so that it is easier on those with slower internet connections.

Hi Sacred Path,
thanks for your help, and thanks especially for mentioning that we should limit the posts per page. i just made that change.i will attempt to get the URL and put it in the appropriate place in my CSS, but if i have questions i will post here again!

HI, I am having basically the same problem with K2-lite. My only problem is I don’t know where the appropriate place is! I can’t find where I need to add the image url in the code. Any hints?

The site linked to your username is not a wordpress.COM blog.
If you are talking about a wordpress.COM blog we need a link to it please.

Hi, I am having a similar problem! For some reason, I haven’t been able to get my header image into my css, I have to upload it through the ‘Custom Header Uploader’ thing. I have worked out how to change the width of my blog, but for some reason it doesn’t apply to the header image…
My site is http://www.katherineisawesome.com
Any help you could give me would be appreciated!
I have put in an image at the original size (780px wide) and made it the same colour as the background of the header to make it blend in for now, but would like to be able to insert an image to new width I have created (880px wide).
Hope this makes sense!

Hi, thanks for that. I have tried to do so but can’t seem to get it working. It’s like the ‘custom header uploader’ is overriding my css.
I’ve copied the original source code and edited it and pasted it in and selected ‘start from scratch’ so I know it breaks the relative URL links, but the only way I can seem to get an image in the header is through the ‘custom header uploader’ (which still seems to work…)
I’ve put the following into my css but it still is using the old header image. What am I doing wrong?! It is driving me nuts!:
#header {
position:relative;
background-image:url(‘http://katherineisawesome.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/header-image.jpg’) left center no-repeat;
height:200px;
width:880px;
margin:0;
padding:0;

PS – Sorry if it is really simple and I am just missing the point, I am a bit new at this.
