# Uploading header

 * I have the template “elegant grunge” and am attempting to upload a custom header.
   I have followed the instructions on wp forums on installing it through header.
   php or styles.css. In both cases, when I go to save the text changes, it gives
   me an error message saying “Cannot create the C:/Users/Smith/AppData/Local/Temp/
   style-2.css file. Make sure the path and filename are correct.”
 * Any suggestions? Or am I going about this all wrong. I have uploaded my header
   image to the “elegant grunge” theme folder as well.

 * Looks like you’re trying to reference/save a file on your local hard drive instead
   of on your web server.

 * How do I change that? It automatically goes to that directory

 * Download a copy of your theme files. Make the necessary changes to header.php
   and style.css on your local copy and then upload the amended files to your wp-
   content/themes directory.
