WordPress Customization

Modifying The Header

Wordpress Header Example

The first thing you might want to do when customizing your theme is change the header. Most sites have a custom header image, usually a company logo or a picture that has to do with the theme of your site. To edit the header just go into your theme directory and edit the header.php file. The header HTML will usually be stored in this file. In some more rare cases theme authors may have placed header information in the individual page templates (if they did you’ll have to hunt around a bit more!). You’ll usually see a piece of HTML under the opening <body> tag that’s something like lt;div id=”header”>…header content…</div>. You can customize this content with your new header.
