 * Hi, I’d like to increase the header image size since I took out the oval avatar
   photo (I just want it to be the default size minus the oval photo). Where in 
   the CSS can I modify this? thanks for your help in advance!

 * If you take out the header Gravatar the header should resize automatically. Could
   I see a url?

 * The header did not seem to resize automatically. Now when I put up header images,
   they are further cropped. [http://mvpmeme.com](http://mvpmeme.com) is url to 
   my site.

 * So you want to increase it back ?
 * Try override this, change the value until it looks right to you.
 *     ```
       @media only screen and (min-width: 769px) {
       	.header {
       		padding-top: 7.478em;
       		padding-bottom: 2.665em;
       	}
       }
       ```

 * That does the trick. Thanks both of you for your help. I’ll update this thread
   with the exact values that will return to default size (so that it’ll fit the
   cropped header file). I’m putting my under construction place holder back up.

 * I am having the same issue as [@mvpmeme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvpmeme/).
   I removed the gravatar and now my header (sized exactly to 2500 x 600) keeps 
   getting cropped.
 * I have tried to place the override code that @paulwpxp provided in several places
   but have been unsuccessful. Can someone help me figure out where to place the
   code?

 * Exactly like [@oconnorfh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oconnorfh/), someone
   can help us ?

 * Here also the same problem. Don’t know where to add the code. Trying different
   places but no luck. Header is cropping with gravater disabled (disabled this 
   way: [https://github.com/jameskoster/highwind/wiki/Snippets](https://github.com/jameskoster/highwind/wiki/Snippets))
   
   Please help.
