   Hi there,
   Is there a way to define the size of the logo I upload rather than having the blog automatically make it so small? I searched the code but couldn't find anything.

   Thanks,
   Kyle

   Hello,

   In your WordPress dashboard you can go to Settings>Media and then you can change the upload sizes.

   Unfortunately that doesn't work. The logo is being resized automatically to a max width and height. It's some sort of custom feature of the template I'm using. The sizes I select within the media controls have no effect.

   Thanks

   Next thing would be to edit the header.php and add the logo manually to overide the theme settings. Or check the functions file to edit the size.

   Firstly you have to commented the function 'simplecatch_headerdetails();' which define in header.php file of your theme . After this you can use this code in 'header.php' file to define the size of the logo. This code will be used after this class 'layout-978':

   <div class="logo_wrap">
                       <span>
                               <a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>
                       </span>
                   </div>

   And you also add the class in style.css of your theme :

   /*add the logo class*/

   .logo_wrap{
   margin: 8px 0 15px 0;
   float: left;
   font-size: 30px;
   line-height: 36px;
   width: 169px;
   height: 78px;
   }
   .logo_wrap a {
   color: #000;
   font-weight: bold;
   text-decoration: none;
   display: block;
   width: 90px;
   height: 89px;
   text-indent: -999em;
   background: url(images/logo.png) no-repeat;
   }

   Sorry i was wrong. you have to change only in style.css of your theme.
   Add in style.css:

   h1#site-title a img {
   	max-height: 190px;  //add the max-height a/c to you
   }

   The last option you wrote doesn't seem to work either. Perhaps your previous post was correct?

   Don't make changes to the stylesheets of your theme, as once the theme is updated, your changes will be lost.

   Before you add styles, make sure you do so in either of the following:
   A Child Theme - http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
   A Custom Style plugin - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-style/

   Hi Andrew,

   There is Custom CSS Box in the Theme Option where you can add in few simple css and the best option is always child theme.
