    Hello! I’m trying to perform a simple re-sizing of the logo on a portal I manage and I cannot find the CSS file telling the logo what size to be.

    I’m using the Extremist theme and when I look at the Style.css document, I see this:
    “/*
    Theme Name: Extremist
    Theme URI: http://thehappybit.com
    Author: The Happy Bit
    Author URI: http://thehappybit.com
    Description: Extremist WordPress theme
    Version: 1.0.1
    License: GNU General Public License version 3.0
    License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
    Tags: one-column, two-columns, photoblogging, red, white, left-sidebar, right-sidebar, custom-background, custom-colors, featured-images, post-formats, theme-options, translation-ready, threaded-comments
    */”

    And that’s it. Where’s the CSS telling my logo what size to be?

    Thanks for any help you can provide, I’m confident I know the code I need to edit, but I cannot find it.

    Some theme authors prefer to place their stylesheets in a separate folder and enqueue it in their functions.php. If you know how to use Firebug or another web inspecting tool, you can usually find the paths for each stylesheet that’s being loaded.

    With that being said, though, it’s recommended to use your theme’s built-in custom CSS option, a custom CSS plugin, or a child theme for this type of change. If you edit your theme’s files directly, you’ll lose those changes if the theme is ever updated, to fix security issues or bugs or to add new features.

    Hey Stephen,

    Thanks for the quick response. It’s probably the case that the built-in CSS file is well-hidden somewhere. But it sounds like I don’t want to find that file anyways.

    Do you know if the customize css capability in the Jetpack plugin will allow me to perform the edits I want to do?

    Thanks again for your help!

    Yes, probably. If you post a link to your site, we could give more specific help.

    Okay cool, I’ve got an outstanding issue connecting Jetpack but I’m working through that on my own.

    Out of curiosity, is there a custom CSS plugin you prefer to use?

    The website in question is http://www.themarketelement.com and I’m trying to edit the size of our logo to respond to mobile screens.

    I appreciate your help!

    If you’re already using Jetpack’s other features, you might as well use its custom CSS module as well. The one I use is Simple Custom CSS.

    For your logo, try this:

    .thb-site-header #logo {
	background-size: 100% auto;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	margin: 0 auto;
	max-width: 100%;
}

    Fantastic that worked!

    I’ll have to check out Simple Custom CSS, I’ve been getting an error message trying to connect Jetpack that their support is trying to figure out currently.

    Thanks so much for the help, and jumping right on it to boot!
