Hello,
The header image is displayed on archive pages (ex: categories).
Posts and static pages can display the featured image, not the header image.
Best regards,

Sorry, but I am confused.
What I want to do is add a image behind the name and address information at the top of the site.
How can this be accomplished?
Ah. This is confusing indeed.
“Header image” refers to a certain WordPress core feature. It doesn’t mean that those images necessarily appear in the header of the website. It’s just what this feature is called.
If you want a background image in the header of your website, then you will need to apply some custom CSS code for that. Themes generally don’t provide a built-in control for that.
Best regards,
Dumitru B.
I’m sorry but I don’t understand.
In Customize there is an option to designate a Header Image. Are you saying this will not put an image at the top of the page?
If so, what is the purpose of this option?
Hi,
That is a core WordPress feature which has been named “Header Image”, that’s not something that I chose. It is up to the theme developer to choose a place where that is displayed.
Faith theme displays the Header image (if there is one) on blog archive pages, instead of the black bar that appears by default.
You can see this black bar here: https://hersheynazarene.org/category/uncategorized/
If you’re trying to upload a logo, then that can be done in the Site Identity panel.
Best regards,
Dumitru B.
