Coffee Cup —- HUGE IMG

I think I’m having the same problem. I asked in the post “How Do I Change The Logo” below why I couldn’t specify the size. Still wondering about that…

OK folks Help the two of us…. MAN WE ARE DESPERATE!!!!

Take a deep breath, it’s only a blog.
Perhaps a link to the theme, or your site, so someone can make suggestions. There are literally 1000’s of themes out there, so you can’t expect everyone to be familiar with every theme and it’s parts.

Did I mention taking a deep breath ??

Oh, sorry – I thought that this was just general css. Okay, I’m using the ‘Fresh’ theme and I found the information for the logo in the sidebar.php

You can see it at veronicarose.com/index.php because my other site is still running. If you go there right now you will get to see a giant photo of me.

And this must be the link to the theme:
https://themes.wordpress.net/?view_type=slideshow&item_type=latest&page_number=33&count_per_page=12

Edit: Sorry my link didn’t show because I didn’t put the https:// so I’m doing it now:

It is easy to change the header size in CC. All you need to do is change the px size in the css page listed in this area:

#masthead {
CHANGE THIS*background: url(images/header.jpg);
CHANGE THIS*width: 760px;
CHANGE THISheight: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
border-top: 0px solid #7f7157;
border-right: 1px solid #7f7157;
border-bottom: 1px solid #7f7157;
border-left: 1px solid #7f7157;
}

Here is an example on my blog (for brief moment)

Yeah, but on that other post where I first asked I cut and pasted my css because I did that and it didn’t work. The image is there (I renamed it instead of changing the template) but the size won’t change.

I’ll just repaste what I wrote here:

I followed the instructions above and was successful, however when I tried to change the dimensions as follows nothing happened:

#logo {
width:175px;
height:130px;
padding:0px;
border: 0px;
background: none;
}

I tried various things such as putting img-width, image-width, image width, img width, logo-width, logo width, but nothing happened. Am I going about this the wrong way?

Why am I not seeing a huge image on your site? Please link to where the theme is up so I can check the CSS please

You didn’t see it! Wait a minute, you didn’t see the image or the link I put up there? Let me try again:

(Thanks for the help, by the way)

Your CSS has this:

#logo {
width:175;
height:131;

You need to add “px” after the numbers.

hmm in the logo part you just have 175 and 131, but you havent added “px” to the end of it

opps, Les Bessant got it before my post went through

Ooops – I forgot to mention that that was actually how I initially had it. I just changed it so many times trying to get it to work that it ended up without the ‘px.’ But I think if you look at it now you’ll see that I put it back and it’s still not working.

I’ve never had a problem sizing an image before so I can’t imagine what’s going on.

I even edited the original photo in photoshop to reduce its size and it still came out huge! So now I’m thinking that it must be something in the theme.

The image looks a lot smaller now. If it still looks big to you, try clearing your browser’s cache (Ctrl+F5 on IE).

I tried your advice and I’ve reloaded that page about a hundred times in the past few hours too. I’m guessing that you clicked my profile and saw my current index.html (a static website – aaargh!) The index.php is still the same, though. Somebody please click these two links and tell me I’m not imagining things.

I just wanted to let you all know that the problem has been solved. I contacted the author of the theme (which I had been trying to avoid doing) who very kindly took the image and resized it for me. And it worked! I’d tried that too but I must have done something wrong when I uploaded the image. I thought I overwrote the existing file, but maybe not.

* Anyway, to anyone having this problem the answer is to physically resize your image.

And thank you to all those people who tried to help me.
