Title: Header sizing Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Header sizing * Resolved [mand_77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mand_77/) * (@mand_77) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/) * I’m having problems making the Header size smaller. I just want a small white strip to display the logo on. So far I’ve tried inserting a white image and cropping and resizing, but it’s still far too wide. * Can anyone help? * [http://www.silkstreetcards.co.uk](http://www.silkstreetcards.co.uk) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [Bojan Radonic – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support4/) * (@wpmudev-support4) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382017) * Hey there mand_77, * How are you doing today? * Well first of all you can reduce padding on your header with some custom CSS. To do that please try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or add it in your site using the following plugin: * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css) * ``` .site-header-main { padding: 0; } ``` * Other then that the real issue here is your logo image, which takes a lot of space, so cropping it on the top/bottom in image editor would do a great deal too I believe, I couldn’t download the image but it looks like it takes a lot of space [http://screencast.com/t/5gQtIyPF](http://screencast.com/t/5gQtIyPF). * Hope this helps 🙂 * Cheers, Bojan * Thread Starter [mand_77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mand_77/) * (@mand_77) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382103) * Hi there Bojan, * That was really helpful, thank you! I changed my logo slightly by putting the wording all on one line and I cropped it as much as I could, so now I’ve got the header size more or less how I wanted. I just have a couple more questions, I hope you don’t mind. I’m new here and I’m just getting to know the basics. * Could you let me know what the retina logo is? I also watched a video about Make and there was something called ‘navigation’ in the’customize’ and ‘general’ tabs but I don’t have it. * Thanks so much for your help!

Do you know anything about the ‘navigation’ tab I asked about before?

I’ve checked the theme and there is navigation tab in the customizer, to access it go to Appearance -> Customize- > General -> Navigation, [http://screencast.com/t/SZPKqVqu2k](http://screencast.com/t/SZPKqVqu2k). * The tab offers you to replace menus same as you go to Appearance -> Menus so if you for any reason don’t have that there you can go to Appearance -> Menus and do the same thing. * Hope this helps 🙂 * Cheers, Bojan * Thread Starter [mand_77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mand_77/) * (@mand_77) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382229) * This is really strange but I don’t have it. Is there some way in an send you a screenshot of the page? * Thanks, A * [Bojan Radonic – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support4/) * (@wpmudev-support4) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382231) * Hey again Amanda, * It’s possible that we’re not using the same version of the theme or there is some sort of a conflict on your admin so that part is not working properly. Either way as I already mentioned, you can do absolutely the same thing in Appearance- > Menus as you can do in that part of customizer so I don’t think there is a reason for you to worry about that one too much. * If you want to send screenshot anyway you can use an awesome app called [Jing](https://www.techsmith.com/jing.html), it’s what I am using to upload screenshots as the one above. * Best regards, Bojan * Thread Starter [mand_77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mand_77/) * (@mand_77) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382248) * Hi Bojan, * Thanks for telling me about Jing, it really is a great app. * I’ve sent a screenshot of the page that doesn’t have ‘navigation.’ I’d appreciate if you could let me know if you think there is a problem. * [http://screencast.com/t/Tr6EZS7SOXJ](http://screencast.com/t/Tr6EZS7SOXJ) * Many thanks, Amanda * [Bojan Radonic – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support4/) * (@wpmudev-support4) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382249) * Hey again Amanda, * I’m assuming it is most likely just a different version of the theme or you’re using premium version? * Either way as I mentioned above that tab just allows you to select menus for your navigation and you can do absolutely the same thing in Appearance -> Menus so I don’t really see a reason for you to worry about that unless you’re having any specific issues with anything else. * Best regards, Bojan * Thread Starter [mand_77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mand_77/) * (@mand_77) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382250) * Hey Bojan, * Thanks for getting back to me. * Perhaps it’s the updated version that is different. If you can do the same thing in appearance, it’s not a problem. * Thanks again for all your help! * Best wishes, Amanda Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) The topic ‘Header sizing’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/make/1.10.9/screenshot.jpg) * Make * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/make/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/make/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/make/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/make/reviews/) ## Tags * [header](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/header/) * 12 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [mand_77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mand_77/) * Last activity: [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-sizing-3/#post-6382250) * Status: resolved
