How to Change your Wordpress Header without getting into the HTML Codes





1. Let's start by logging in your dashboard in WordPress. Once you are in look for the left column. Once you find it look for the 'Appearance' button and click on it. This will open up several choices, click on the 'add new themes' button , this will bring up another page full of choices for a theme. Look to the right of the page for the choice that reads 'Custom Header' click on that, then on the bottom of the page click the button ' find themes'.
2.

By clicking the custom header choice, WordPress will only select those templates which will allow you to change the header without getting into the codes. For my husband's blog I chose the theme called ' Violinesth Forever 4.5 by Patrick Chia ' once you have chosen your theme install it and active.

3. Now that your theme is active, stay on the 'Appearance' Page. Look for the ' Custom Header' choice which is on the left column of the page and click on it. This will show you only the header for theme you have chosen. In here you will find the actual Picture Pixel Measurements you will need to create your own header, so it will fit with this theme. The theme I chose for my husband's blog measures 1024 x 279 pixels. Knowing this information I can go to my editing program and create a new and unique header.
4. Use your photo editing program of your choice, if you don't have one you can download Gimp.org for free. Size your header appropriately then edit to your choice. Save the photo to a Jpeg and put it in a folder you can easily find.
5. Now go back to the 'custom header' button that is located in the left column of the page click on it and then click on the 'choose a file' button. Find your edited header, click 'upload' and your header will take the place of the old header. Visit your site to see that the theme fits well and it looks the way you want it, then continue to edit the rest of your template.
