 * Love the theme but just wondered if there was anyway I could change the height
   of the header image as it’s just a little too big.
 * Thanks in Advance

 * This would have to be changed in a child theme. The height of the image is set
   in the core theme settings on line 19 in inc/custom-header.php. You can see the
   setting here:

 * Hi,
 * Even when changing that figure 300 to say 100, even in a child theme it does 
   not honour / render the change.
 * This change includes changing the max-height valuable in the same file.
 * Any other suggestions?
 * Thanks

 * I’m having the same difficulty. I copied the inc file into my child theme and
   in the cusom-header.php file, I replaced 300 with 220 and there was no change.

 * Jankdc – I have the same issue when altering the parent theme, and refreshing
   the browser cache.

 * After making the change in the (child) theme files, you have to go to the Customizer
   and reupload / reapply the image to allow the theme to generate a new crop. The
   reason you’re not seeing the new size is likely because WordPress still only 
   has the old size available.
