How Do I Create a Header Template in WordPress?

Creating a header template in WordPress is a relatively easy task. First, locate a header image that you would like to use. Once you have located the image, open up the file in a photo editor such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.

Next, use the tools in the photo editor to crop the image to the desired size. Once the image is cropped, save the file to your computer.

Next, open up your WordPress theme files. In the header.php file, locate the following line of code:

Next, replace the text “header-area” with the name of the file that contains the image that you saved. For example, if the image is saved in the “images” folder of your WordPress theme, then the line of code would be replaced with:

Save the file and reload your WordPress site. You should now see the image in the header area of your website.
