Can you post the link or better describe what page you are on? * There are some really great and simple plugins, like [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/) that will help you add custom css. * If you have a public link, I may be able to offer css customization help as well. * Cheers! * Thread Starter [Dot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dianetingleyhotmailcom/) * (@dianetingleyhotmailcom) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/#post-4901581) * Hello, * Thanks for this.

I’m just a bit confused why the picture has doubled up; the strip which the writing of the title appears on is the top one inch of is. Is that because of my image size, or something in the code you gave me, please? * [Karlos Sarunic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websark/) * (@websark) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/#post-4901628) * Yeh you will have to remove it from where ever you added it, the code I gave will include it for you. * Thread Starter [Dot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dianetingleyhotmailcom/) * (@dianetingleyhotmailcom) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/#post-4901629) * Cheers for that; it does include it, but how do I get the whole picture as is; without it doubling up like it has please? Is it because the picture is the wrong size, or I need to do something with the code? * [Karlos Sarunic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websark/) * (@websark) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/#post-4901633) * You would have added a header image or header logo to get that image there. If you remove that you should be ok. * Thread Starter [Dot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dianetingleyhotmailcom/) * (@dianetingleyhotmailcom) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/#post-4901634) * Hello, * am having fun here; have sorted it thanks to your code : cheers again Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Confused’ is closed to new replies. * 18 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Dot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dianetingleyhotmailcom/) * Last activity: [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confused-20/page/2/#post-4901646) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
