How to Override Hardcoded Uploaded Header Image?
-
It would appear that if I upload a custom logo (header image) through WP’s dynamic styling feature, the url of that image gets hardcoded somewhere in the loop but I can’t figure out where!
Here is the relevant portion of my header.php:
`
<div id="main_container">
<div id="decoys"></div>
<div id="header">
<div id="masthead">
<div id="branding">
<div id="blog-title">
<span>
<a href="<?php bloginfo( 'url' ) ?>/" title="<?php bloginfo( 'name' ) ?>" rel="home">
<?php if($custom_logo == 'custom') { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/uploads/<?php echo $custom_logo_image; ?>" border="0" alt="<?php bloginfo( 'name' ) ?>" />
<?php } else if($custom_logo == 'default') { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" border="0" alt="<?php bloginfo( 'name' ) ?>" />
<?php } else { ?>
<h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</a>
</span>
</div>
</div><!-- #branding -->I see that it's saying that if a custom logo has been specified, that it should grab the image from my template's .../images/uploads folder. When I manually replace the img src="..." portion with a specific url, then it is forced to display that particular image. Otherwise, it displays whatever image I had uploaded previously (through dynamic styling). So my first question is: <strong>where in the labyrinth of WP does it save the url of the previously uploaded header image?</strong>
<strong>And how do I modify the code below so that it will override whatever else it's being told to do and grab the image I specify in the CSS?</strong> Because right now it won't listen to the parameters that I set in the CSS (making it !important also doesn't seem to work.)
<code> `
<?php if($custom_logo == 'custom') { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/uploads/<?php echo $custom_logo_image; ?>" border="0" alt="<?php bloginfo( 'name' ) ?>" />Also, as a corollary, I’ve implemented a style switcher that allows the visitor to toggle between several stylesheets. Each stylesheet features different background colors, fonts, etc but the one thing that I can’t seem to change is the header image (because, like I said before, it seems to be hardcoded somewhere in the loop).
So if anyone has any advice on how I can modify the above code (and any other possibly relevant codes) so that the header image can be stylesheet-specific and be controlled by the respective .css, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Ergh, sorry for the messed up styling of my post. I placed the code tags in the wrong place but it seems that I’m unable to edit the post….It would also help if there was a “preview post” option…
