    I’m back – I want to change my header to a completely customized image
    I know how to upload an image and change the header but the only image size it is allowing is 1100 x 184
    I can’t find how to change this and add a new size without completely ruining the lay out of the theme.
    Also I can’t for the life of me get rid of the shadow behind my header.

    example – I would like an image 1200 x 250 wit no bgd shadow

    Can you point me to where this would be changed?

    Thank you

    Hi there, let’s try this purely CSS solution first and see what you think.

    For the CSS only solution, you would add the following to your CSS, adjust the min-height as needed for your new image upload that image to your media library, get the URL of that image and replace URL_OF_IMAGE between the quote marks in the background declaration.

    #branding {
background: url('URL_OF_IMAGE') no-repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
min-height: 184px;
}

    The CSS method did not work for me, I would also like to change the header to a customised image.
    Is there another way?
    Thanks
