Hey Guys,
I hope you can help me. I want to create a header on top of the theme.
Like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/briz0rbuds7zvnv/bildschirmfoto-2014-12-16-um-13.37.34_1024.png?dl=0
I added a customer header function to my function.php already (http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Headers)

$args = array(
	'width'         => 980,
	'height'        => 60,
	'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg',
);
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );


Then I can add a custom header like here 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5cpeis2sc4elh5w/Screenshot%202014-12-17%2020.58.11.png?dl=0


But in the end the header is not shown. Can anyone help me? Do I need to modify the Header.php? If yes how? 
Thank you ! Really appreciate your help. I love your theme!

Cheers,
Christian

Yes !! you need to show the custom header in header.php

Like this :
<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()->width; ?>" alt="" />
Place that code at where you want your header to appear 😀

BTW , when i use this code , there 's some css class at my page brake , so you should have a <div> class wrap that header
And use flexible header to crop the header image 😀
