 * I am currently using the mx4_theme by kubrick and would like to change the heading
   image as well as remove where it automatically displays the name of my page in
   the header. How can I go about doin this?

 * Sorry, I just thought I posted in the wrong forum.
    Here is the code that appears
   in my header.php file: #header { background: url(%3C?php\ bloginfo\(\’stylesheet_directory\’)
   no-repeat bottom center; }
 * So I dont see where to change the image….

 * Header image is controlled in the header.php file. Your current code is:
 * `body { background: url("http://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/
   images/kubrickbgcolor.gif") fixed center top; } 
    #page { background: url("http://
   www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickbg.gif") repeat-
   y top; border-left: 1px solid #1F3851; border-right: 1px solid #1F3851;}  #header{
   background: url("http://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/
   kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; } #footer { background: url("http://
   www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickfooter.jpg") no-
   repeat bottom; border: none;}
 * Change the #header info and you’ll solve that problem. Just change the file name
   to whatever you’re wanting to use as your header graphic.
 * The other question I thought was controlled by the header-image div. And possibly
   in the options panel of the admin area.
 * EDIT –
 * yeah, the name at the top is controlled by the h1 tag in the headerimg div.
 * `</head>
 * <body>
    <div id=”page”> <div id=”header”> <div class=”headerimg”> <h1>[The Big Timer](http://www.thebigtimer.com/index.php)
   </h1> <div class=”description”></div>’
 * You can delete the div…or better yet comment it out so that it doesn’t show up.
 * Hope that helps.

 * You may have put the other one in the wrong forum, but it’s not an installation
   problem either. 🙂
 * The image you want to change is here:
    [http://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickheader.jpg](http://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickheader.jpg)
   Easy thing to do would be just upload the image you want to use and name it the
   same, that way you don’t have to change the coding.

 * thanks a lot I just changed the image file to the same so I didn’t have to change
   the code, great idea. However, I still can’t get the name of my site to go away
   at the top. When I comment it out, the whole header disappears and I have to 
   reload a good copy of header.php to get it back.

 * You should just comment out the headerimg div, the h1 and the description div.
   That should do it.
 * Oh, and you can comment out the headerimg css section in your style.css file 
   if you want to be consistent.

 * Each time I commented out the headerimg div, h1 and description div, my header
   image would disappear and the whole header would go blank. This would happen 
   when I deleted the code as well. I just kept replacing my header.php file with
   a new file and trying over. I winded up just deleting my Blog’s name in the user
   control panel and that seems to do the trick.

 * That is one way to do it….. I’ll have to look at my header.php and try it myself…
   it should work just being commented out. But, the name in the options area of
   the admin panel is probably an easier fix for most people to do too.

 * If you just want the name gone, just delete or comment out the ` <h1>The Big 
   Timer</h1>` part.

 * Or it might say something like `<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>`

 * Yeah it’s really weird, if I change anything in my header.php file my whole header
   image thing goes blank. For example, all I did was change what was in between
   the <title></title> tags so my title bar wont read: [http://www.thebigtimer.com/index.php](http://www.thebigtimer.com/index.php)
   and even that gives me the error I had when trying to comment out the other stuff.
