How to edit the header in Wordpress?

Editing the header in WordPress can be straightforward. Follow these steps to modify your site’s header:

1. Access the WordPress Dashboard: Log into your WordPress site by going to yourdomain.com/wp-admin.

2. Navigate to the Customizer: Once logged in, find the “Appearance” section on the left menu, and click on “Customize.” This will open the Theme Customizer.

3. Find Header Options: In the Theme Customizer, look for a section labeled “Header,” “Header Image,” or something similar. The exact name might vary depending on the theme you’re using.

4. Edit the Header: If you’re changing the header image, you can usually click on “Header Image” and then “Add new image” to upload a new photo. If you need to edit the text header, you can click the header that you want to edit or just click “Heading” to add and edit the text heading.

Note: The steps may vary slightly depending on the theme you are using.

If your theme uses a page builder plugin (like Elementor or WPBakery), you might need to edit the header through the page builder interface instead of the Theme Customizer.

Remember to check your website after making changes to ensure everything looks as expected.
