  I believe I’ve done these things. As I change my header picture it will change for all sections except for the home page which is a picture of NYC…. I don’t really want that on my home page.

  If the image of the correct size to be displayed? If it is not then it will not display.

  Header image is 940 in width and 198 in height.

  You have changed your theme to Canape since we first began. Consult that theme description page here https://wordpress.com/theme/canape

  Scroll down to Add a header image and text to your home page on that page.

  Then scroll down to Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels)

  The featured image on the front page and on pages works best with images at least 1180 wide.

  Consult the relevant support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/

  Thanks for your help. I think I am doing all of the things that you’re telling me to do, and it’s still not working.

  Hi @cristenrenee, for this new theme (Dara) head to wordpress.com/pages and find your front page (the one with the home icon). Edit it, and you’ll see the unwanted image. Replace the featured image with your new image and you’ll be set.
