  Hi there.

  Well, resizing will not work in a clean way because it would mean to make it more than two times higher without changing picture width and it would make it a little bit odd (with something like a vertical stretch effect).

  If you would not like to use a image editor, you can edit pictures here, using your WordPress.com interfaz (Take a look to the support topic, here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-editing/). I would suggest you either crop a section of your picture with this aspect ratio (1180:381) and then resize it or just change the picture to use another one with this ‘almost 3:1’ aspect ratio -or that you could crop like this-.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi again.

  I’ve just realized this website is not a WordPress.com site, is it? If it is a self-hosted WordPress (also called “.org”) site, you can find support for your it here: http://wordpress.org/support/

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities, but the essential difference is that we don’t have access to all WordPress sites, only the ones hosted on our WordPress.com servers. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for more info.

  Sorry I wasn’t able to help you directly, but I hope that points you in the right direction.

  I mean this forums are used to solve WordPress.com sites issues and you should address your question to wordpress.org/support (I insist, just in case your blog is a self-hosted WordPress site)

  Hope this helps.

  Sela has its own forum for self-hosted users:

  https://wordpress.org/support/theme/sela

  You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:

  See you there!
