    Hello: It seems I posted this on the wrong side before, so the suggestions in the link I found below probably aren’t helping.

    I’ve tried to do as discussed here and I can’t find any other similar posts:

    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/width-for-benevolence-css?replies=14

    I’m trying to change the width of the blog, https://blog.bottomlinesafety.com/, to be 834px wide to match our corporate site, https://www.bottomlinesafety.com. But when I change the CSS as described in the above link, and even change the URL of the image in the CSS File, so that I no longer am using the header auto uploader, it still refuses to size my image greater than the 700px width that is standard.

    I have been able to change all widths as needed but that image width. I’ve tried changing the file on the FTP to bypass the uploader size limitation as well but it still does not work. I end up with an unsightly black square in the upper corner of the blog where the header image should extend.

    I can change the CSS as suggested in FireBug and it looks right, but when I try to do it on the live file, it just wipes it out. I figure it must be controlled elsewhere, but where?

    I pulled the URL from firebug and looked at it by itself and it seems to be scaling it to 76% for some reason.

    Once again: the active blog is https://blog.bottomlinesafety.com/.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (PS: this is still a work in progress but this is where I got stuck.) Thanks in advance.

    I solved it. I had to change the functions.php file. Once that was changed, it did not appear to work. I had to remove the image in the admin and then re-load the image at the correct size. Simply swapping it out in the ftp did not work. Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.
