  2 related questions:

  1 – how do I get my custom header image to link to my home page, which is just a feed of my recent posts?

  2 – how do I make all of my recent posts to go to a page that I designate them too. Like if I want to create a header “blog” and all posts would go there.

  Thanks!

  Wow – sorry, I butchered my second question. I meant to write:

  “how do I make all of my recent posts go to a designated page? Like if I want to create a header called “blog” and all posts would feed through there.

  Hi there!

  1- You can’t set the header image to have a link, but you can repurpose a link from somewhere else and lay it over the top of the header image. For example, you can do it with the site title in the Yoko theme.

  First, you need to go to the Appearance → Header page and check the option that says, “Show header text with your image.” Then add this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

  #site-title a {
display: block;
height: 439px;
position: absolute;
text-indent: -9999px;
top: 115px;
width: 1102px;
}

  #site-title h2 {
  display: none;
  }

  You would need the Custom Design upgrade in order to use custom CSS. Please note the height is the exact height of your current header image. If you change header images, you would also need to change the height to make this workaround work properly.

  2- You would need to set up a front page that would take the place of the default blog posts and set up a different page for your blog posts. You can set up your blog’s page feed by following the steps here:

  I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
