 * Hi
    I want to have a large image in my header, 1180 x 680. How do I increase 
   the height of the Header to show the image above the nav bar?
 * I did try changing the height (I’m using a child theme) but the image was pixelated.
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincrease-header-height-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Looking at the Sela `functions.php` file, the featured image on the front page
   and other pages is set to be 1180 x 610 pixels, and looking at the Sela demo 
   page and setting my browser so that the image area is maximized, I measure 1177
   x 625px. That seems pretty close to the image size you are wanting. Can you try
   creating and using an image that is 1180 x 610 and see if that doesn’t work and
   not get pixelated?
