I appreciate your words. But the thing i don’t like is that if we have to learn code in the end then why is CMS saying **“no code for the new website “** ?? * well i was knowing from start that i have to learn css and php a bit ( i know basic my sql and html) * and yep i know cpanel of my host as i have installed wordpress MANUALLY ( uploaded files through file zilla ):) * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443795) * and one thing please pls tell me a site where i can learn CSS AND PHP ( FROM 0 TO EXPERT LEVEL XD) * [jack randall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theotherlebowski/) * (@theotherlebowski) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443797) * [http://www.w3schools.com/](http://www.w3schools.com/) and [https://www.codecademy.com/](https://www.codecademy.com/) are both really good places to start. * html and css are the easier things to learn, php is a server side programming language and unless you’re a really logical person then it might be more difficult( i’m not a logical person so i kind of suck at it!) * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443800) * again a thanks from just a beginner * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443801) * and can u tell me one thing — a theme similar to HEMING WAY ( I LIKE THIS THEME THAN ANY OTHER ) BUT THE PROBLEM IN THIS THEME IS THAT IT HAS A LOGO TYPE BOX IN MIDDLE OF IT ( SO IT LOOKS DUMP xD * [jack randall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theotherlebowski/) * (@theotherlebowski) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443807) * i really don’t know all of the themes that are out there, there are literally thousands available. just search for minimal 2 column themes and see what you find. * removing things like that logo are pretty straight forward but we would be telling you how to do something you’re not quite ready to do yet… * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443814) * well the main thing here is that when i removed the logo from that theme then the header size went small * thats the main reason i posted the question here * and please type the whole process (including all codes u feel like ) for changing header size. * I AM READY FOR THE HARDEST WAY TO DO SO FROM BOTTOM OF MY HEART .. JUST TYPE THE WAY HERE (WHATSOEVER LEVEL IT HAS ) * THANX IN ADVANCED 🙂 * [jack randall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theotherlebowski/) * (@theotherlebowski) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443823) * ok. read this: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes), create your child theme, upload it and activate it. * you can now remove this logo one of two ways: hide it with css or remove it from the theme altogether. * hiding it with css – in your child theme’s style.css file add in the following: * ``` div.section-inner div.blog-logo { display: none; } ``` * if that css isn’t specific enough to target the logo image then try * ``` div.section-inner div.blog-logo a img { display: none; } ``` * otherwise you can cut it out of the theme altogether: * copy over the header.php file from the parent theme (hemingway) into the folder on the server of your child theme. open this file in the dashboard of your wordpress site (appearance -> editor) and look for a chunk of the code that says: * `
` * remove that and everything down to * `
` * save the file and see if that’s done the job. bear in mind i’ve given you these tips without actually having the theme on a site to test them out first but after looking through the code in the header.php file this is my best assessment for removing it. * if they don’t work or things look wrong then don’t panic, just go onto your server and delete the header.php file from your child theme folder and start again. * in the meantime, here’s the support forum specific to the hemingway theme: [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hemingway](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hemingway) * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443827) * thanks i will try my best.. * and one last thing to ask — does wordpress.org gives all answer to one’s question???( in terms of support ) * [jack randall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theotherlebowski/) * (@theotherlebowski) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443829) * we do our best, we’re a bunch of volunteers and users from all over the world who contribute our knowledge and time when we can. there are different forums on here for different areas of using and developing wordpress but generally if you have a problem with your site this is the place to go. * i would say however, before you post your question, use the search feature as it’s very very likely that your problem has occurred before and the solution has been revealed. wordpress has been going for years so most of the common problems have been addressed in depth over the years. 😀 * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443836) * thnx closing the topic now xD * Thread Starter [octahedral](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octahedral/) * (@octahedral) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increasing-header-size/#post-7443855) * want help again Mr.Jack * BINGO I INSTALLED THE CHILD THEME SUCCESSFULLY… * AND REMOVED THE BOX MYSELF 8) * THE THING I WANT TO KNOW IS THE QUESTION WRITTEN IN MY POST– INCREASING HEADER SIZE 🙂 * THANKS !
