i cant make my header wider than 400px!

  • ok… so here is what is going on… i am making a blog for and i am building a blog on wordpress to match the site… everything is good, except i cannot make the header wider than like 350 px. or 400px. i originally used the rio theme, here is a link to that https://www.bestwpthemes.com/rio/… i have the blog on my localhost, so i cannot put a link to it, but the problem is with the code of that theme itself… i hope… so can someone dig in there and tell me what i am doing wrong?

    plus… i saw that there is the width and height tags that i can change… i change them, and it will make the header taller, shorter or more thin, it wont make it wider than 350 px.

    Really appreciative,
    Steve moore

    also, here is the code to the header.php file if you dot want to download the theme

    <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    </head>
    <body>
    <div align=”center”><br class=”break” />
    <!– Code is very pretty literature. –>

  • can the reason be the fixed width ( width="350" ) in the image code?
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/header.jpg" alt="Marcel Winatschek's Tokyopunk" width="350" height="150" /></

    or what else do you mean with ‘cannot make the header wider than…’

    even if i change the fixed width part of the code… the header does not get any wider… i dont know what’s going on

    Could you be a little more specific about what you mean by the “header”? Are you talking specifically about the image, or are you talking about the header DIV element itself? Also, where are you changing the height/width settings?

    there could be other width restriction in the theme’s style.css, but without a live link, these issues are near impossible to discuss.
