Using Flexible Custom Headers
Ready to check out flexible custom headers in action? Follow these steps:
- Log into your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Header (see Figure 3). The Custom Header page loads.
- The Preview section displays a preview of your current header image, or your site's title and tagline if you don't have a header image (see Figure 4). Scroll down to the Select Image section. Click the Browse button, find your new header image on your computer, select the image, and click Upload.
- The Crop Header Image screen displays your new image, with an overlay matching the suggested height and width for your header (see Figure 5). Resize this overlay by dragging any corner, or move the entire overlay by dragging the non-dimmed section to a new position.
- When you're happy with your new header image, click Crop and Publish.
- The new header image appears on the Custom Header screen (see Figure 6). Click the Visit Your Site link to view it in action! (Figure 7 shows my example.)
