  I would like to add a wider static header to a theme that only shows a small header that is 300 px wide. The theme is alto.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @ljedwardsblog, I’m not seeing a site using Alto linked to your username. If you add a header image to your site using Alto, we can then enlarge it with CSS. This would be the basic CSS for that.

  .site-branding .custom-logo img {
  height: auto;
  max-height: 200px;
  max-width: 100%;
  width: auto;
  }

  Go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the above custom CSS and then adjust the max-height value to get the header image the size you want it.
