How to Insert a Custom Header Into Wordpress

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard, and click on 'Appearance' on the left-hand menu. Again in the left-hand menu, click on the 'Header' link. This brings you to the 'Custom Header' options page.
2. Upload an image by clicking on 'Choose File' and opening the image you want to use. Click on the 'Upload' button to complete the task. Depending on the width and height of the image, WordPress will either resize it or leave it as is. Note that themes offering custom headers often give instructions on what size image to use, and they place this information above the upload buttons.

3. Select a default image by clicking on one of the radio buttons next to a default image below the upload buttons. You can only select one for use.
4. Remove the current header image by clicking on the 'Remove Header Image' toward the bottom of the options page. This button removes the image from the header but not from your server. Removed default images remain in the list of defaults. Reset to the theme's original header image by clicking 'Restore Original Header Image' toward the page's bottom.
5. Click the blue 'Save Changes' button to save your changes. Visit your site or reload it in the browser to view the new or restored header.
