Hi Everyone –

I cannot for the life of me get the Main Image to be BIG as the Gateway Demo Theme Sight! I have tried everything. I cannot download the Gateway Theme, I cannot download the WordPress. I have no clue as to why anything is not downloading on my computer. I am basically doing everything from scratch! Here is my website so far. I have read all the forums on this and tried as suggested from other posts, and nothing has worked!!! If someone can please help walk me through this step by step, that would be awesome. I know I am doing something wrong. I have never built a website before, so bare with me.. Thank you so much!!

try adding this to your css file
```
.site-title,
.site-description {
    position: initial !important;
}

.site-branding {
    padding: 6em 1.5em !important;
}

.header-bg {
    background-attachment: initial !important;
    background-size: cover !important;
}
```

Hi Mr. Case, Sorry about that…LOL

I tired entering the above in the css file and it didn’t work. If you take a look at the Gateway Theme on Worpress, you will see that the Home page is Big..Covers your entire computer screen.

But, nope that did not work. Any other suggestions please? Thanks

When I look at it on wordpress it isn’t that big. I went here:
https://wordpress.org/themes/gateway/

and did you try to add the above code at the bottom of your style.css file?

Try the below link. My page should open up like this. (I think)

https://gatewaydemo.wordpress.com/

Ummm..I think I entered it in the correct place. Customize Button then CSS?

Thank you for providing that. The reason that image appears to be so large is because there is content within the area of the image that occupies space, thus making the background seem larger. If you can get the code I provided into your theme you will see that the image gets larger. I tested it on your site and it worked. It won’t take up as much space in the demo but will be larger.
