I tried to upload a custom image and it showed up once. After that nothing and there seems to be no way to restore the default image. I tried switching to another theme and then switching back but still nothing. Any suggestions? My URL is http://www.fastingandfeasting.wordpress.com

dashboard -> presentation -> custom image header -> look for option that says restore default header.

I use Misty, and under presentation > custom image header below the “upload new header image is a box titled “reset default image and color” with a button in it that says “restore original header”. I’m using FF 2.0.0.6 on mac. Some browsers don’t handle some of the java used at wordpress so that is a possibility also. I know Safari and IE 7 have some issues.

There is nothing showing up underneath the box containing “upload new header image.” Perhaps it is a java issue. I think this is IE7 on this computer.

Firefox is a free download, and is a very good browser. I use it for all my wordpressing. You might give that a try and if it doesn’t work, contact staff as sulz suggests.

Or you could use the “Next Blog” button until you find a Mistylook header and try to copy the image? Boring I know, but there are a lot of them out there.

You can also make the change from a computer that already has firefox, like one at the library, if you don’t want to download it yoruself.

Or download the mistylook theme that is for use with the software from wordpress.org, pull out the “misty.jpg file and upload it and choose it as the new header image.

Ok…I downloaded firefox and tried again…still no option to restore the default. Someone from support emailed me the address to find the images for all the themes for download but unfortunately, Misty look does not have a download option for the header image. I think there must be a bug with this program. I’ll try downloading the theme from wordpress.org but after that I’m giving up.
