    Hi,
    I was deleting some unused images and somehow deleted the background for my header area. I want to use the file header.png. It is correct in my images folder. How can I change it from the cream color at the top to the header.png file?

    thanks.

    You can change the background color for the header in this code on Line 184 of your child themes style.css file:

    #header {
    	background: #DCB260 url(images/header.png) center repeat-y;
    	margin: 0 auto;
    	min-height: 120px;
    	overflow: hidden;
    	width: 100%;
    }
    

    You may also need to change repeat-y to repeat-x.

    Otherwise, you can upload your header image to your child themes images folder and remove the PHP code which creates a Custom Header page from your child themes functions.php file:

    /** Add support for custom header */
    add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
    	'width' 	=> 	1060,
    	'height' 	=> 	120
    ) );
    

    You can then go to Genesis > Theme Settings > Header and select either to display an image or text in your header.

    If you want the height to be more than 120px, you will need to change the value for this in your style sheet on Line 226.
