 * Hi,
 * I am trying to add a header image, but the size is set to be only at 280×91 px.
   When I try to get an image with a larger height, the image starts to cover the
   navigation bar. Any clue as to how to increase the amount of space the header
   image takes up so I can put in a big header image?
 * Thanks

 * Hey there jillpan,
 * How are you doing today?
 * This should be possible to change with some custom CSS. Would you mind uploading
   the image that you’d like to use there and then post link to your site so I can
   take a look?
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * Okay.
 * The site: [http://bloomingdresses.com/](http://bloomingdresses.com/)
    The image’s
   size is 280px (width) by 182px (height).

 * My mistake, the image size is actually 459px (width) by 182px (height). Here 
   is the image: [http://bloomingdresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/header-image-2.png](http://bloomingdresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/header-image-2.png)

 * Hey again jillpan,
 * Sorry for the delay 🙁
 * I’ve checked your site and I can see that you’re using a different image now.
   However since you’ve posted link to the image I’ve added it via inspector to 
   see what happens on that page and the reason this happens is because maximum 
   height is being defined on the logo link.
 * To override that please try adding the following CSS code in the style.css file
   of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or if your theme
   doesn’t have custom CSS tab add it in your site using the following plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       .topshop-header-layout-centered .site-header-branding a {
           max-height: inherit;
       }
       ```
   
 * and then add your logo image, this should be the result [http://screencast.com/t/5uw3JCZGA](http://screencast.com/t/5uw3JCZGA).
 * Hope this helps 🙂
