    Hi there. I’m trying to figure out how to change my header width so it doesn’t take up the whole page everytime it’s opened. Can someone help? I use the free version of wordpress.

    Hi, you might try uploading a much shorter header to see if that helps. Otherwise you’d either need a plan that supports CSS, in which case you could add this:

    @media screen and (min-width: 46em) {
  .site-header {
    margin-bottom: 3.2em;
    overflow: hidden;
    max-height: 400px;
  }
}

    Or, you could switch to a theme that inherently has a shorter header. You might like Gateway for example:
    https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway

    It has a larger front-page image, and a shorter header on inside pages.
