Pivot theme change main picture

I just installed the pivot theme to my new and empty website. Can I change the main image? The one with the woman and the man with the laptop in between. If so, how? I can't find the option anywhere. And simple using another background doesn't do anything.
Hi there,
yes, the background image has been set in a Page Header - here is an overview and related articles:

I cannot find a Page Header section. My menu is different to the menu in the video you provided.
How else can I access the Page Header section?
Many Thanks
Hi there,
check in Appearance > Elements you should see a Header element there.
Hi, I'm having the same issue. I installed the Pivot theme, and I'm not seeing the Headers menu. I do not want to have to recreate all of the header templates from scratch in the elements menu. Why isn't the Header menu showing up?
Sorry the Page Header section
Hi Brad,
in GP 1.7 the new Elements Module was introduced. So they are now found under Appearance > Elements.
Thanks David. So am I correct in saying I will have to recreate the Headers from scratch now, since the update?
Hi there,
you don't have to, any Page Headers you built previously are in Elements > Legacy Page Headers.
If you want to get the benefits of Elements then converting them isn't too diffiuclt:

This is a new site. I installed the GP theme, then my premium package and installed the license, installed Pivot, and imported all content and accepted all necessary modules to be made active. I even checked and the Headers and Elements modules are active. The Page Headers aren't created, as they are in another site for which I've used the Pivot theme.
I have deleted the Wordpress installation completely and reinstalled in various sequences, checking even before I upgraded to the new GP version, and I still don't see any Page Headers. The Page Headers simply aren't there.
When you go to Appearance > Elements at the top of the dashboard there is a button for Legacy Page Headers
David, I've searched in every menu in Appearance > Elements and can't see anything about Legacy Headers. I have attached a screenshot of the Dashboard
How did you originally add the Page Headers? Was it from within the page / post editor?
On my other site, I added it from the Page Headers menu on the left. In this site, I have not added any headers yet. This is what I see. The headers were the first thing I tried to work on.
That Home Page header was me trying to find the legacy headers button.
Aah ok, so if you have none, then its the new Elements module you now use:

They have a lot more options over the old Page Headers. Some Hero examples by Leo are here:
