I’m not sure what I am doing or not doing. Can you please help? I am trying to get my header to display. My URL is http://www.mamaloves.ca.

Thanks.

Do you have a link to your site. I’ll see if I can find out what’s wrong.

Still cant get this to work. Using my code for the header, it doesnt pop up. Using your code for a header doesnt show header…. frustrating

They both work well. It’s all about what you like and what gives you the desired effect you’re looking for. Remember the tutorials on this site are just one way of achieving an effect. You’ll start to notice that there are a number of ways to get what you’re looking for.

Absolutely you can copy and past! Keep in mind though that you might have to change the name of functions or selectors because what I use in mine might be different then what you use in yours.

This is the tutorial I used to add the custom header : http://www.sugarrae.com/thesis-hooks-dummies-tutorial/#change-header

Its different than yours. Should I just switch to yours? Can I copy and paste?

A couple things here I’m wondering about. You’re putting add_header_image before your title. With the following tutorial you have to remove the default header and then add your own custom header.

remove_action ( ‘thesis_hook_header’,’thesis_default_header’);
add_action (’thesis_hook_header’, ‘add_header_image’);

Then to put your nav bar below that try this…

remove_action (’thesis_hook_before_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);
add_action (’thesis_hook_after_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);

I am using this code for my header:
function add_header_image () {
echo “

“; }
add_action(’thesis_hook_before_title’, ‘add_header_image’);

For some reason the I cant put my nav bar below the header. Is it because of the action at the bottom?
