I have been searching around for ways to accomplish this task but I have come up short.

So I decided to come to good old warrior forum to see if anyone could help me with this ?

Thanks in advanced

    I don't think this theme has that functionality. I thought of a work around though. It might have adverse SEO implications though.

    1) On your "general settings page" take out the site title and tagline.

    2) Replace the theme header in the images folder with the same size header that you want to use.

    Also, maybe you could ask in the Warrior Coding Forum.

    Good Luck

      The way I did it was with an image file.

      Go the header file and look for this:
      <h3><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">

      under that line insert:
      <img src="your image location" />
      </a></h3>

      Worked for me. Hope this helps.

    usually there is an images folder,,,,,,,,,,,in the theme folder for THAT theme...........inside that images folder is usually a file called header.jpg

    replace this with your new header image

    easiest way to get it the exact same size is
    take the original header image...................move it to your folder on your local computer

    now you have the exact image and the size can be viewed
    just change that image and remember to make it the same exact size, then move it back to the location you got it


    thats how I do it with any wordpress theme

      That's the way I used to do it now I use a theme that allows me to change the header to whatever I want. As you can see from this video it even allows me to have a different header for each page.
