[Theme: Twenty Eleven] Simply changing the header image size

Yes! check in the style.CSS for it!

Simply change resize the image to a height of 150px and then modify the CSS accordingly. It should not take you more than 5 minutes to do this.

Well, it appears I was searching the CSS for “288”, when in fact it uses “height: auto;”. So any image of the correct width should work without any CSS changes. Will try it now. Thanks,

I did create a properly sized image, but when uploading using the “header” function under appearance/themes, it insists on cropping it, which of course roughly cuts the width in half.

so I did a separate upload under “media”, but it is not available to choose when picking a header. Obviously twentyeleven stores the headers somewhere else.

I am using firebug to see what is generated, but it is a little tough to follow. I see a generated size of 1000×288 in firebug, but I don’t see where that is coming from. I am looking at header.php, but its a bit above me at this point.

this is not a new question – forum search might have given you some solutions;

the values for the header image size are set in functions.php of twenty eleven.

instead of editing twenty eleven directly, consider working with a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes
