Header Image

[rob nelson]

Hello,

I am looking to put a image in the top header. hopefully the site menu will lay on top of it.

What size is suggested for that space?

1600 x 100?

Thank you,

Rob

Hey Rob,

You can add in an image to the header and that sounds like a good size to work with. Here’s how to go about adding it:

1. Go to the Media Section in your WordPress dashboard and select Add New. Upload the image you’d like to use. Once the upload is complete, click on the edit link. Look on the right hand side of the screen that opens up for the File URL. We’ll need that in just a minute.
2. Next go to your theme options page and choose the Advanced tab.
3. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and add this:

   
   #header {
   	background-image: url(https://yoursite.com/image.jpg);
   }
   

   Replace the http://yoursite.com/image.jpg with the URL to the image you uploaded a moment ago.

4. Update your settings.

If you run into questions or trouble, let me know.

Take care,
Bill
