 * Hello guys,
 * I’m using Writerblog theme, but that problem happens when I use other themes 
   as well so I guess it’s not the theme’s fault.
 * Hello everyone,
 * I’m trying to upload a header image and the header image contrainer has a fixed
   width and height that fits the website. The problem is that is doesn’t scale 
   the image to fit into the container ratio, instead I just see only part of the
   image and the rest of the image is not visible. I tried to use photoshop to change
   the height of the image but when I decrease it, WordPress just zooms in for some
   reason, and I never see whole of the image.
 * What could be the problem in your opinion?
 * Thanks in advance

 * I suspect that WordPress has never seen the new image and is using the original
   one.
 * Give the photoshop resized one a new and distinct name, place it in your header.
   
   View the website and use a browser inspector to check that the image is the correct
   name, and the css is showing it correctly.
 * It would help us help you if you included a link to your website.

 * delete the original image. Resize it offline. Upload it again

 * Hey guys thanks for your answers. I did make sure that it uses a different image
   each time. Just inspected the element and it did replace it. But still no luck,
   I just don’t get it.
 * I will upload the website and then share a link
 * Thanks again!
