Wordpress wp_get_attachment_image() to display static image

Question

I am building my header file and I cant figure out how to use the wp_get_attachment_image() to display my logo. The path to the logo is images/logo.png.

Most examples I found online use this to display images dynamically

Answer 1

You can echo the image via:

<img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/logo.png'; ?>">

get_stylesheet_directory_uri() returns the "uri" for your active theme.

Read more about get_stylesheet_directory_uri() in the Codex .

You can't use get_attachment_image() in this case, because the image hasn't been attached to WordPress via the Media Uploader.
