using local host for wordpress

[kdd63]

I am using xampp as a local host to build a website using wordpress. I am not able to get pictures into the header of the site using my local host. I have tried putting them in the correct folder but they don't show up. I have also deleted the default images but they are still showing up. I checked the page source to be sure the url was directed towards my local host, which it is.
I then checked my configure.php file to be sure that it was directed towards my local host and it too is.
Can anyone advise me on this?
thank you!

Since you refer to your 'header' images as the problem - you should examine the settings/configuration of the WP 'Theme' you have installed.

"configure.php" <== What's that? - do you mean wp-config.php?

The best place for answers on WordPress is either their excellent forums, or the theme's authors pages/blog etc.

As the 'sticky note' says, this is a board for supporting XAMPP installation and configuration issues.

Good Luck
