    Hello there!
    I need quick help with 1 thing, urgently… as it’s the only thing I’m struggling with.
    I am struggling to increase the pixel size of the Header Image / resize it to create a full header banner on my site.
    Is there a quick tutorial or assistance?

    Right… eventually they helped me. Apparently they hadn’t activated me or something.
    Anyway, the “decode-child” folder is now created in themes…

    In that “decode-child” folder can you create a file named “style” with the extension of “.css” (style.css)?

    There is no option to create a file… (only a folder).
    The other option is to upload a file

    Can you create a file with Notepad on your computer? Rename it to “style.css” and that should give it the ‘.css’ extension. Then upload that?

    Ah! I didn’t know I could do it with notepad.. was busy doing a Google search about it. Thanks.
    I’m going to try that quick

    I have a question about a header image, too!

    I’m using the 2012 theme and I wanted to add a header image, which I know there’s an option to do easily in WordPress. However, I want to put the header image above the title, so when people view my site they will see:

    Header
    Blog Title
    Blog Post

    My site is alwaysoverthinkingit.com
    Is there a way to change the coding? I was reading through the coding in Settings > Editor but wasn’t sure what to change.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Done… (I can attempt to do next what I think I should… but I will rather wait for advice)

    @teakline, You can either follow the support given on this thread, and/or to discuss your issue you can create a new thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/twentytwelve#postform – Since you’re using a different theme you’ll probably need to create a new thread

    So, yes can you upload that style.css file that you’ve created into your “decode-child” folder?

    Thread Starter Alani Keiser

    (@lanicreative)

    Yes, I have uploaded it – however, it is a blank style.css file atm.

    I was thinking of copying and pasting the current DECODE theme style.css in there, for future edits (obviously we’re going to work on it now, right?)

    Ah you’re thinking of the next step already ?? However you’ll be doing it slightly different.

    Following the Codex instructions add this into your Child Theme ‘style.css’ file (the one inside your “decode-child” folder):

    /*
     Theme Name:   Decode Child
     Template:     decode
    */
    
    @import url("../decode/style.css");
    
    /* =Theme customization starts here
    -------------------------------------------------------------- */

    Since your hosting providers don’t let you edit a file there in your file manager you’ll have to edit it on your computer again, then upload that again.

    To clarify, this line:

    @import url("../decode/style.css");

    Grabs all of your theme’s styles from already, so you don’t need to copy them all over manually again.

    Oh sorry! Attempting to get my webhost to help me create a folder. Thanks!

    Thread Starter Alani Keiser

    (@lanicreative)

    Oh, how cool!

    @import url(“../decode/style.css”);

    Ok, I’ve pasted that info and uploaded it again.

    So my webhost created a folder for me, but it says the theme is broken and the Stylesheet is missing, so I don’t have the option to upload the style.css file
