Hi, i changed the header_footer.jpg to my own, but when i checked my site the header remained the same. why is this?

Maybe you didn’t upload it to the correct location or give it correct name. Or maybe it did change, but you are still seeing what is cached on your computer.

thnx, i got it work. turns out it was just slow on loading

i was also wondering how your header always changes? how do i do that?

I use the rotate script discussed here: http://www.harshj.com/2007/03/13/rotating-header-images/

thnx a lot, your tutorials are really helpful btw

o one more thing, how would i make the header larger so that my banner can fit properly? http://www.game-aware.com/

Well, that’s going to get a bit more involved since the header, nav bakground, and footer are all in the same image. You’ll need to play with your css a little and then go back and reedit your image. For example, open style.css and do the following:

Find the following and increase the height to about 220px:

/* header START */
#header {
background:url(img/header_footer.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;
height:132px;

Then find the following nav and increase the first number to about 130px

#navigation {
margin:1px 0;

Once you do that, then you’ll see where you may need to adjust the background image to get the white background behind your nav bar again, and make sure your footer is in the correct place. You’ll just have to play around with the values to get them right.

ohh i see. how would i adjust the white background?

Watch the video again…that’s part of the header-footer image. You would need to adjust that in the image.

hi again, i wasnt sure where else to post this so sorry…
when i was in my wordpress dashboard i went over to check and edit a post when i accidentally clicked the filter button instead of the apply button, and it messed up my sidebar…pls help
http://www.game-aware.com/

Just type /wp-admin at the end of your url and see if you can login and undo it…delete the post if you have to and see if that clears the problem.

yea i had to delete all the posts on the front page that i filtered…it was weird, but thnx for the help

what does the filter option actually do?

The only filter I see is the ability to filter by date and category when in edit post mode, but that shouldn’t have impacted your sidebar.

ah ic, still not sure why that happened though, but thnx

nah,, saya mau tanya, saya memang mau pakai header yang saya edit sendiri.
saya juga edit di photoshop,nah kan temanya udah saya ekstrak nih, kan disitu ada folder untuk temanya.
saya buka di bagian folder image, saya hapus header yang lama dan saya copy header bikinana saya sendiri. awalnya memang bisa, tapi pas di log in error. katanta cannot modify header information. nah biar bisa gimana ya heder make gambar sendiri?

@fira
I’m not sure I understand your question completely, but you can open the header_footer PhotoShop file I included in the download and use it to create your own custom header for iNove. You may want to work with the 200px one I’ve included in the following post. Good luck.

Excelent ! i have this theme , good tutorial

Great video. I was able to do everything but when I save the new .jpg header it hasn’t uploaded on my site. I’ve given it about 30 minutes and it still doesn’t happen. Thoughts? Thanks!

@Damon: You just need to upload it to the /inove/img directory. Make sure you replace the existing ones there…there are two of them…one for normal pages and one for single column pages.

Nice video, thanks!

mas saya mau tanya.saya udah unggah gambar untuk custom header tapi eh setelah itu gambarnya ga muncul??? apa kesalahanya ya mas?? mohon mas yg hebat kasih tau saya

I created my custom header with a logo. I’d like to remove the title and the tagline from the header since I already have it in my newly designed header. How would I do that?

Hi there, do you know how to make the custom logo header a LINK back to your homepage?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I changed the header in photoshop and saved it in the IMG folder within the the Theme Folder. How do you upload the new zip folder to wordpress?? Not sure where to do this.

Thanks a lot for the Video share
