Hi,

I’ve noticed when I upload a site logo, it defaults to 150px wide. Is there any way that I can change this value? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Hi John, I’m not seeing a logo, or anything that looks like a logo in your media library. If you can upload it and insert it, I can see about making it larger for you. If that doesn’t work cleanly, we can find another way.

Thanks,

I have added an image which I would like displayed at 900px if possible… it is called “banner.jpg”

Thanks so much for your help,
John.

The logo image link included the width in it. ( ?w=150 part at the end of the link)

I don’t think you are adding it but I guess WordPress adds it if you set the width while uploading image. I am not sure.

Nevertheless, if we get rid of ?w=150 part in the url and add the following style, I can see a nice enlarged 900px wide logo on your site :-)
```
.site-branding .site-logo {
   width:900px;
}
```
Could you

Please ignore my incomplete sentence. I should have removed it before hitting Submit on my previous update.

Thanks for the tips. The code is working, but appears to be enlarging a 150px image, so I’m not sure what to do. The media library lists the image file (logo) as being 1200px. All I want is for this image to display full width across the top….

Thanks again for your help.

It looks like we cannot override the logo width. (Happy to be proved wrong).

The Site Logo uses the thumbnail version of the image and the default thumbnail size is 150 px x 150 px. You can change the default size of a thumbnail, but I don’t recommend changing it to 900 px because it will affect all of the other thumbnails on your site.

If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thanks!

You can skip the site logo tool and add a logo using CSS another way.

Here is an example you might like:
```
.main-navigation {
	background: #222 url(https://johndelmusicdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/banner.jpg) center 59px repeat-x;
	padding-bottom: 141px;
}
```
