    Hi guys i'm new in wordpress. I've made a custom header but it doesn't show up and is being covered by the original image that shows here:

    I've been trying to search for answers in google but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. :(

    1. Make sure that you've cleared your temp files (if using wp-cache plugin) and be sure to clear your browser cache

    2. Post back if that doesn't work. I'm guessing you've looked closely at your code ?

    I've cleared my cache and all temp internet files.... still doesn't work...

    Here's a portion of header.php

    <?php
    // Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
    if ( !$withcomments && !is_single() ) {
    ?>
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg")repeat-y top; border: none; z-index: 10;}


    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>

    With this code, the kubrickbg.jpg image repeats up to top of the page:


    I tried to change it this:


    <?php
    // Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
    if ( !$withcomments && !is_single() ) {
    ?>
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat; border: none; z-index: 10;}


    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>

    With this code it shows the header on top of the page but now it doesn't show the backgorund of the content
    (kubrickbgwide.jpg)

    In your stylesheet you should see something like this...

    #header {
    	background: #73a0c5 url('images/kubrickheader.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
    	}
    Code (markup):
    Try changing the path to the image and see what happens...

    Thanks for the help. I already did that but still no changes... This is has been really driving me nuts! (screaming at the top of my lungs!) :confused:

    What's confusing is that when i go to PRESENTATION -> HEADER AND IMAGE COLOR -> ADVANCED -> SELECT DEFAULT COLORS the custom header shows up. :(
