I can get the image header with

get_header_image()

ex:

wp eval "echo get_header_image();"

But how can I change that ? I tried

set_header_image(url) and Custom_Image_Header::set_header_image

with no success.

• Used theme: EnvestPro Lite. It is a classic theme where you set the image header in customize->theme->header – yarek Commented Aug 16, 2019 at 13:01

get_header_image() uses get_theme_mod() to get the saved header image, so I would assume the following example should be used to update the saved value. And set_header_image does the same thing at the end of it, after all the different checks.

set_theme_mod( 'header_image' , 'your-image-url-here' );
