Add a Header Image to a Project Novice

In this theme we've built a couple of options that let you change the header image for your projects and project categories.

By using the header image options you can:

  • Set a global default image for all your project posts - this is done from the Theme Settings page, and the image will be used for all your projects if you didn't set one for a specific post.
  • Set a default image for a project category - lets you set a header image for a specific category.
  • Set an image for a specific project post - the project post will have this image as the header image. This will overwrite the image set in the Theme Settings.

Set a global default image for all your project posts

  1. Go to Appearance > Theme Settings in the main menu
  2. On the Theme Settings page go to Posts > Portfolio tab and under the Single Projects Header section you'll find the option to upload an image that will be displayed in the header for all your project posts.

Information

There are more options here like header height, overlay color and more. These options are explained and addressed in this article.

Set a default image for a project category

  1. Go to Portfolio > Categories in the main menu
  2. Click on the category you want to edit and find the Header Image option. The image uploaded here will be used in the header of this project category only.

Set an image for a specific project

  1. Go to Portfolio > All Projects in the main menu
  2. Click on the project you want to edit and find the Header Image option in the sidebar. The image uploaded here will be used in the header of this specific project and will overwrite the image set in Theme Settings.
