Changing header size

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am trying to add a custom header to my blog, but when I upload it, it appears to be too big width-wise for the header space given. When I save it smaller and upload, same thing.

    Can I only edit the width in CSS with the upgrade?

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

    The short answer is “yes”. Without purchasing the annually renewable CSS upgrade you cannot change the dimensions of your theme.

    The long answer is:
    If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.

    Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.

    If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.
