    Hi All,

    When I go to change the picture for the header image it shows the picture I uploaded in the sidebar as being there but the image showing on my blog is still the image it came with. Even when I change it to other wp provided images it still shows the first image. Can someone explain what I’m doing wrong or is there a way to fix this?

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

    Hi there!

    To get started, open the Customizer. Just click on My Sites in the admin bar and then click Customize in the sidebar.

    There, look for the Header Image section. (If you do not see this section, this means that your current theme does not support the use of a custom image header.) Here, you may choose between your own images—if you have recently uploaded any—and a selection of suggested images for your current theme if it has any.

    Once you’ve chosen an image, you can crop it to your liking, or you may skip this step if the size of the image fits your theme’s dimensions.

    Hit the Save button at the bottom right to apply changes.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi caileygibson,

    The Home page has a Featured Image set. Remove that by editing the page and then you will be able to see your chosen header image.
