Wordpress Header Linking To Homepage

robobobo · #1 10-14-2009, 11:08 PM

Hi Guys,

i'm sure you've been asked this question many times but i cant for the life of me figure out how to link my wordpress header back to my homepage.....

www.techinfo-4u.com

I've read that i'm meant to change

<div id=”header”>

to

<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href=’http://siteaddress/’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

But the problem with that is my header code is this

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container" class="container">
<div id=”header” class="span-24" >
<div class="span-12">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<h2><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>
</div>

Anyone any ideas how i can make it link back to my homepage

I am not a php coder. But looking at what you have
without changing anything, it looks OK to me.

Check to see if you have the following at the
top of your index.php file - the first statement.

<?php get_header(); ?>

Your theme should have these by default.

If you have page.php, include the statement as well.

But looking at your blog, looks like you don't.

Heres the top of my index.php page

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">
<div class="span-16">

and i do have a page.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">
<div class="span-16">

any ideas?

Just edit your templates or css file.

edit it to what though?

Usually theres a header already in there.. just change the image to yours.

Without accessing it myself i cant tell you exactly what you should be changing...or where. This is called customization..and if you cant figure it out from wordpress docs then you need to hire someone.

I have already changed the header image to mine, thats how i have my logo on the top of my site
www.techinfo-4u.com

I do know how to customize as i have changed the whole site completely from its original theme template,but this one thing seems to be stumping me

I think it's because the examples i've seen for changing the header.php template have been changing

<div id=”header”>

to

<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href=’http://siteaddress/’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

but on my header.php i dont have <div id="header">

instead i have

<div id="header" class="span-24">

and this is whats causing me the problem

I've tried changing it to this

<div id="header" onclick=”location.href=’http://techinfo-4u.com/’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

but nothing changes

again.. add the HREF tag to your header image.. <a target="blank" ref="http;//www.whatever.com"> to make it open your main site..why make this HARD?

I know it's meant to be simple and i'm not trying to complicate things...
If you see my below code, the #header background: url(images/header.jpg) is the file that is my header image and what i want to link back to my homepage

When you look at the header.php code
it appears to be referring to the #header h1 which is just the basic text heading that you can set in wordpress.

Hope this helps you to see what i mean

Here is the header section of my style.css sheet

/* HEADER */

#header {
height: 100px;
padding-top:0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
background: url(images/header.jpg) top left no-repeat;
}

#header h1 {
margin-bottom: 3px !important;
padding: 6px 0 0 0;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-size: 42px;
text-transform: normal;
}

#header h1 a, #header h1 a:visited {
color: #667b98;
text-decoration: none;
}

#header h2 {
color: #667b98;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 12px;
font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

and here is my header.php
