  I am a beginner at this stuff, but I am wondering how to adjust the height of my featured image that appears on the homepage? I would like it to be about half as tall so people can see the widgets I will be adding without having to scroll down. I have tried uploading different sized images (longer and shorter within the parameters of the SELA theme) but it just seems to resize them to fit in the current area.

  Thanks!

  Hi there, the Sela theme and WordPress software create a cropped image for the featured image at the top of your home page, so if we make it less tall, it will not cover the entire area.

  What you can do is to create an image in your image editing program that has the proportions you want (with a width of 1180px), and upload and set that image as your featured image, and then add the following to your custom CSS and see what you think.

  .home .hero-content > img {
    width: 100%;
  }
