Changing the picture in the header

This is the mountain range at the top of the page.  The easiest way to change it is to make your image the same size and same file name and them upload it to the images folder.

The header image is 950×200 pixels.

The header image can be located in the images folder within the breathe folder. It is called header.jpg

Alternatively if you have already added the theme to your wordpress it is now located at wp-content/themes/breathe/images

    Embedding a flash movie is not the same as replacing the header picture in my instructions its a little tricky. You need to add code to the header.php within the wordress loop so it is called on each page load. You also need to have a call which alerts the browser if no flash player is available so that the viewer has an option to download the player. You will need to search for embedding flash into html to find out how to do this. If you like I could have a look and do it for you for a small fee.

    Thank you for your reply.

    It seems if found out what u mean.
    I’ve used a plug-in called Kimili Flash Embed
    This pluggin gives the option to change the header in to a .swf file.
    After installation i’ve changed the code.

    [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.defact.nl/wordpress/wp-content/themes/breathe/images/header.swf” height=”950” width=”200”]

    <a href=”” title=””>

    This is the code that should change the header in to a .swf file.
    The header seems to dissapear (that’s oke).
    But the swf doesn’t seem to appear.

    Any suggestions?

    This seems to be the correct code (didn’t seemt to paste properly during previous post).

    [kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.defact.nl/wordpress/wp-content/themes/breathe/images/header.swf” height=”950” width=”200”]

    <a href=”” title=””>

    I need help inserting a swf into my banner like Jaesten mentioned…I’m using Kimili Flash Embed and I don’t know where to start! What do you think I should do?

    Is there an easy way to change the the height of the header image to something smaller than 200px?

    I’m guessing there is more to it than just uploading a ‘shorter’ header image (ie 100 x 950).

    I need a little more info as to why it won’t work. If you follow the above instructions it should be replaced. Have you tried pressing F5 to refresh the page rather than just refresh in the browser?

    Hi, i wanted to make the header picture changing to another picture, like in a flash. But, instead of using flash, how can i do that?

  14. May 1st, 2010 :

    Yes there is a way, check out http://www.peppertreephotography.com.au . Every page has a different header image each time you click on a page. This is the site that I used to develop this feature http://photomatt.net/scripts/randomimage.
