It works well for making the site responsive on mobile phones but unfortunately there is no solution for ipads that I can find. * [Predrag – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support1/) * (@wpmudev-support1) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-one-more-time/#post-4623896) * Hi [@agsut](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agsut/), * As per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome), please post your own topic. * Cheers, Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Header image ~ one more time…’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/twentythirteen/4.5/screenshot. png) * Twenty Thirteen * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentythirteen/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentythirteen/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentythirteen/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentythirteen/reviews/) ## Tags * [header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/header-image/) * [twenty thirteen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/twenty-thirteen/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Predrag – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support1/) * Last activity: [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-one-more-time/#post-4623896) * Status: not resolved
