  I would like to customize my header in the Theme Publisher. I want one image with my logo. If I upload my image it is blurry… I Used the example file so I’m sure I have the right size and pixels.
  How can I import my customized header?

  Hi there,

  In looking at the settings on Appearance>Themes, this theme calls for an image that is 1440 x 405 pixels.

  Hi Jerry, Thanks for your reply. I use the image 1440 x 405. But I don’t want to use the standard header text. If I tick off this box ‘show header title’ the size of the whole image changes to a much more narrow rectangle. And… there is still a small figure instead of the title.

  If I tick off this box ‘show header title’ the size of the whole image changes to a much more narrow rectangle.

  Turning off the title is how I would recommend you do it, and the height of the header can then be corrected with a bit of custom CSS:

  #masthead { height: 175px; }

  To use the above code, click on your site name on the admin menu at the top left, and in the drop-down, select “Customize” to launch the site customizer.

  From there, click on the “CSS” tab, and paste in the code I provided.

  Please note that this will be shown in preview mode, but you will have a link to purchase the Custom Design upgrade, which is necessary to use custom CSS on your site.

  The Custom Design upgrade allows you to use a wider range of fonts, tweak theme colors, and even add custom CSS. You can learn more about it here:

  Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
