 * OK, I’m wondering why you all aren’t using the standard header. If you want to
   add a site logo you don’t need to use a [Custom Header](http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Headers).
   You can then remove the other things in the header in the Customizer

 * I have tried that, but I don’t know what css code to use instead?

 *     ```
       .site-logo {
       max-height: 8.5em;
       }
       ```
   
 * is the default. Rasing it will increase the size of the header. Or set it to “
   auto” and use “max-width” instead.

 * I have uploaded a Header Image in the Customizer but still cannot alter the size.
   I increase the “max-height” after “site-logo” in the stylesheet but there’s no
   change. What am I missing here?

   out here.

 * Ok, finally I work out that I needed to enter the info you gave in “custom css”
   in the Customizer.
 * Thanks for your support and a great theme!
