  I’m using the Adventure theme, but I haven’t had any luck in the forum over there. I’d like to change the size of the feature image to be the same size as the regular header (1600×500). I’m using an image with those dimensions as the featured image, but the template resizes it to be too tall in height, pushing the text too far down the page. I’ve messed around with the css, but nothing seems to change the size of the featured image. Alternately, I tried just using the default template and trying to replace the header image in the css, but I can’t get that to work either. I can remove the header image entirely, but no matter what I try, I can’t seem to change it to a different image. Can anyone help?? Thank you!

  for an example of what I’m talking about (using “featured image” page tempate), see this page:

  Hi there,

  try this one:

  .page-banner {
  	background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
  	background-position: center center !important;
  	background-size: 1600px 500px;
  	min-height: 500px !important;
  }

  Note that as we are hard-coding the image to be 1600px vs 500px, then any other featured images will need to be of this size as well to be displayed properly.
