  I currently don’t want a header image on my blog, My Size: Healthy (http://www.mysizehealthy.wordpress.com), and I don’t have any images loaded as an option so nothing should show up. Today I noticed a blank rectangle shows up where a header image should be and I don’t know why. Help?

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

  That rectangle is on the the image supplied by the theme. It also appears on my personal blog which is also waeing the Spledio theme, whether or not I have a header image. See here > http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/splendio/images/header-left-bkg.png

  That’s so weird because until today the blank rectangle with the slim line outline never appeared until today—and I never had an image in there to begin with. I wonder why it all of a sudden showed up?

  It was always there on my blog as you can see from the link to the image I posted. You just didn’t notice it is my guess. :)

  Oh no, I’m definitely sure. The latest post used to fall right under the menu and I liked it that way and decided to not add an image header for that very reason. Oh well I guess. Nothing I can do about it. If I got the CSS upgrade could I delete it?

  This is about images provided by the theme. Do you want to spend a lot of time using photoshop?

  If you buy the upgrade you can remove it. Or maybe WP will correct the theme: in many of the newly added themes the header image is optional, so no rectangle if no image.

  But is it worth buying the upgrade just for that? Would you consider switching to a different theme instead?

  I have Photoshop but I don’t use it a whole lot. Right now I just prefer to not have anything at all since I don’t have a photo. Darn it.

  Justpi: I was just under the impression since I didn’t have an image there wouldn’t be a blank space—as it was all of this week since changing over to the theme the day it was announced as a new theme to WP.com. No, it’s not worth it to buy the CSS upgrade but I was just inquiring if it’s possible. I don’t know anything about CSS.

  Thanks for all your help, both of you, I’ll have to decide what to do. I really like the theme though.

  Yes, in most other new themes there wouldn’t be a blank space, as I said. So wait a few days: the WP theme team monitor the Themes forum, so they’ll see this thread and maybe they’ll fix the theme.
