Hi Zac, If I am developing a Wordpress theme, how can I choose which HTML element will be effected by the $wp_customize

I would like to change a certain div in my HTML by a customiser in wp-admin, specifically I want to upload images to that div. How can I give a controller the connection to the specific DOM HTML div element class that I want to use?

Hi Jennifer,

Can you confirm what you're looking to do please? Do you mean you would like to upload an image to a set div area in your HTML template?

Thanks

-Rich

Hi Rich Thanks for replying, yes thats it, that is my question, how can I program my wp theme so that the customiser area is set up to upload an image to a set div area in your HTML template? The image is a logo.

Hi Jennifer,

Very sorry for the delay, had left the tab open but not actually clicked Post answer...

Zac goes over how to add it to the front end within the Adding a Logo Uploader video at the 2:26 mark.

The Theme Customizer API documentation is very good for general documentation. In your case, from what you've mentioned, I think you would need the Core Custom Controls section.

Hope that helps in some way :)
