    I just uploaded a new header and I need to be able to center it instead of have it left justified. I would also like it to be larger, with a 250 pixel height instead of the max of 200.

    Can you give me CSS to change this?

  • Do you have the “lite” version of the theme or the full version which gives you a header image option?

    Honestly, I’m not positive but I think I have the upgraded version. I do have a header image option and I can set the size to a max of 200 px in heights. I would like it to be a little bigger and centered.

    Here is my website:

    http://futureexpat.com

    Version: 1.3.7

    So, that would mean the Lite version which does not have the full header image option, just the logo image option. You could either grab the full one – or add something like this custom css to your site:

    .site-title { float: none; }
    .site-title a img { max-height: 300px; }

    I would love to use the full version. I downloaded it and tried to upload it to WP, but the upload failed because it was trying to install using the same file name.

    How do I get around that without uninstalling the current theme before downloading the new one. I really don’t want to have to start over from scratch with every option or do this in the middle of the night when no one will see it in transition.

    Can you tell me what other options the full version has that isn’t on the lite version so I can see if it makes sense to upgrade?

    Full version also has:
    – Full header image option
    – Tracking code field in admin for google analytics etc
    – custom.css option
    – Body background image styling option
    – Included sharing buttons on single articles that can be stickied or un-stickied

    These are not in the wordpress.org version simply because they were not allowed by reviewers, otherwise it wouldn’t be two different versions.

    If none of these features are vital, you should probably stick with yours to avoid issues. If you want to update, you’d do like this.

    I don’t need these options other than wanting the bigger header centered…so I’ll just used the code you posted.

    It did center it but I’m still limited to the 200 px in the styling tab. Any way to tweak the code so I can get it just a bit bigger?

    The dynamic styling option overrides the custom css, so just add:

    .site-title a img { max-height: 300px!important; }

    That worked! Thanks. Mark this as resolved 🙂

    I just uploaded a new logo and I need to be able to either center it or left align it..not sure yet. I would also like it to stay large. When I increase the logo image max height my image shrinks in size. How can I make sure my image stays large and also be able to reduce the logo area. I don’t want a huge logo area that takes up so much of the page but I want my logo to stand out.

    By the way, I am a newbie so please tell me exactly where I should paste any code.

    Thanks in advance,

    Where should I add – .site-title a img { max-height: 300px!important; }

    Thanks in advance.
