I’ve had several requests, so today I’m releasing a header source file for the WP Commerce Steel theme I released yesterday. The header contains all the typography and styles you’ll need to create your own custom header/logo for your WP Commerce Steel powered site.

One important thing to note – the height of the header graphic should not exceed 100px. If you make your graphic taller than that, you’ll need to do some custom editing to the CSS file in order to make the theme display properly. You can increase the width of the image by several hundred pixels with no side effects.

To replace the title and sub title with a custom header open up header.php find the H1 and H2 tags, completely remove them and replace with the image tag for your header.

Many WordPress themes these days use a dynamic navigation bar to display the navigation for pages. This is great, except when you have a ton of pages in your blog and you only want to display a select few.

The way to dictate which pages you want to show is pretty simple. I will use the WP Presstige theme code as an example. Find the following line of code in the header.php file of the WP Presstige theme:

We need to add the “include” parameter to that line of code, which will allow us to specify which pages we want listed in the navigation. See the updated code:

What I did was add the following line to the beginning of the code:

include=1,2&

The 1 and 2 are page IDs so by doing this, I’ve specified that I want to include page 1 and 2 in the navigation.
