Hi guys,
I am looking for a theme at the moment that is 99% fulfilled by White Gold. Only thing is, I don't know how to change the theme header. If anyone can help me it would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

    If you want to change theme header, find header.php in theme folder and editting it.

      If you are NOT familiar with the specifics of the theme... don't give BS advice!

    Thanks, but this is all I can see there, so I have no idea what to do:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
    <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/tabbedcomments.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write('<style type="text/css">');
    document.write('div.domtab div{display:none;}<');
    document.write('/s'+'tyle>');
    </script>
    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>

      You need to post the url of your site. Otherwise someone would have to install the theme to sort it out.

      ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

          In the file /wp-content/themes/white-gold/style.css you can replace the following code

          Code:
          #banner {
	width: 1100px;
	background: url(images/banner-background.png) repeat-y;
}
          with code to point to an image you would like to use for the header.

          You may need to adjust the CSS to position and for the size of your custom image.

    Thanks Robin,
    I uploaded an image the same height and almost the same width as the original header, copied the url of the image and pasted in after " background: "

    I am still doing something wrong though, cos the original header turned white, but that's all...?

      This is what it needs to be

      Code:
      background: url('http://www.thedefinitearticle.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/defart3.png') repeat-y;

    (just curious: why is your site in an ugly iframe?)

    re: header image: CSS is "picky" how you set the image url for background images...

    This is from your CSS file and it is absolutely incorrect!

    Code:
    background: url: http://www.thedefinitearticle.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/defart3.png repeat-y;
    Should be:
    Code:
    background: url(http://www.thedefinitearticle.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/defart3.png) repeat-y;
