Aligning a header image with content in 2014

    Hi,

    I’ve just begun playing around with WordPress 3.8, the Twenty Fourteen theme. Other than creating a header image, I haven’t made any other customizations to the theme. But here’s a question. If I want the right and left edges of my header image to align with the right and left edges of the content section of the page, how many pixels wide should the header image be, and how do I tell WordPress to align it with the content section?

    Many thanks,
    sanfranock

    Do not edit the Twenty Fourteen theme. It is the current default WordPress theme and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many situations. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

    Thanks esmi. Nor do I plan to edit the theme. I just want to align the header image with the copy. Is there an easy way to do that? I know a little html, and there, aligning a couple of objects is pretty straightforward. So I figured somehow, getting the header image to line up with the content portion of the page would be pretty easy. Except I couldn’t find any instructions on how to do so.

    Is there an easy way to do that?

    Yes – using a child theme or a custom CSS plugin.

    Okay…so I need to use a child theme or a custom CSS plugin. But within either of those methods, how exactly do you get the header image to align with the content in the 2014 theme?
