* Hi,
I have recently updated the theme, but now the header image has these opaque
extensions on the sides and I don’t know how to disable them. Can i remove them?
if so, how?

* Ahh.. I saw your website’s code just now… and I found two elements..
*
* Try removing these!!
* These are in your “Flex Slider’s” section. So, look in it. That should solve
it ^_^

* Thank you for the reply,
I tried to do what you suggested, but the extensions
of the header image are still there, even if now they’re not opaque. I would
like to have no extensions on the sides of the image at all… Do you know how
can I do it?

* Hmm…then… try to limit the HEADER SIZE…
* I hope you are familiar with CHILD THEME and using it.
* Put this in your child theme’s function.php or if you are not using child theme,
then put this in you functions.php of your theme (or whatever php file is handling
your website’s funtions..)
* ```
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
'header_image' => '',
'header-selector' => '.site-title a',
'header-text' => false,
'height' => 98,
'width' => 1260,
) );
```
* Change the width and height accordingly. your Header image is “1200X400”. So,
put this :-
* ```
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
'header_image' => '',
'header-selector' => '.site-title a',
'header-text' => false,
'height' => 400,
'width' => 1200,
) );
```
* Let me know if you succeed. I am currently doing the same on my website, although
yours and mine conditions are different. But, this should work out!

* well.. sorry… the code I gave you is for theme “twenty fourteen”.
You’re gonna
have to change the HEADER call yourself. In 2014 theme… the theme calls header
like that, so, look in your website..how your calls it

* Thank you again,
I don’t know where in the function.php I have to paste the
code that you gave me. (I don’t use child theme)
* This is my function.php:

* Please repost that last one to a pastebin – that’s too much code to post here:

* And BTW, if you are modifying theme files, all of your changes will be lost when
the theme is updated – which is why you should be using a child theme –
