  Your detailed theme description and set up instructions see here https://wordpress.com/theme/ixion

  Provided you have purchased either a Business Plan or Premium plan you can edit the CSS. https://wordpress.com/pricing/ But do read Note 2 below.

  Note 1: If you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.

  @moviereview348: The theme automatically crops the image at 1080 × 500 and there isn’t a way to prevent that cropping using custom css.

  We could, however, use CSS to decrease the amount of space the image takes up. As the size of the actual image wouldn’t be reduced, however, this could create some loss in quality.

  It may be better to choose another theme that looks closer to the design you want by default. Do you have any examples of sites that you’re trying to replicate?
