Title: Header image flickering Last modified: December 13, 2016 --- # Header image flickering * [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/) * (@xaralouise) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/) * Just installed this theme, looks ace! Busy customising it to my site (www.priestesstarot. co.uk) for a January 1st launch & I’ve FINALLY got the damn image size right! HOWEVER it flickers when in fullscreen mode as if it’s resizing all the time. How do I stop it from doing that, please? * I can turn that theme ON to show you if it helps? Everything on the site is up to date, I run updates religiously so nothing is never more than a few hours out of date. * Thank you!

[http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen](http://wp-themes.com/twentyseventeen)– If so, how do we replicate it? * Thread Starter [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/) * (@xaralouise) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564049) * [@anevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) I have no idea how you replicate it. I can’t see this happening in the demo though, sorry! * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564057) * Would it be okay if you could show us your website? * Thread Starter [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/) * (@xaralouise) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564081) * I’d need to engage that theme, which I will do a short time. 🙂 link is [http://www.priestesstarot.co.uk](http://www.priestesstarot.co.uk) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564087) * Try deactivating all of your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible? * Thread Starter [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/) * (@xaralouise) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564116) * that’s going to screw up my site, backups and everything else.

Can you deactivate the ones that aren’t going to screw your site up? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564141) * > Do you see the flickering when you look at it? * Yes, well I see a flickering affect in the favicon at least which is cause for concern. When I tried to look at your header image I was accused of stealing it. Putting aside my personal feelings about that, it did prevent me from debugging the issue. * Thread Starter [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/) * (@xaralouise) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8564160) * You’d not believe how the Tarot industry plagiarises posts!

I don’t think we can provide you with support if you aren’t able to keep the Twenty Seventeen theme active for a reasonable amount of time. * Thread Starter [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/) * (@xaralouise) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-flickering/#post-8568224) * This is for a change I’m planning for Jan 1st 2017…. the rest of the site is ready & it’s probably down to the size. I can wait for the help though 🙂 I am also around tonight, so I can turn it on this evening, from about 7pm GMT onwards?? 🙂 - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [xaralouise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xaralouise/).
