  I’ve looked at a lot of different ways the header image can be changed in WordPress, but none of them works in Kentwood.

  How can I change it in this theme?

  I will attempt to help, please let me know if I misunderstood your question.

  If you click on Template on the bottom, and then click on the 3 vertical lines at the top, you will see the list view open on the left hand side.

  With cursor, highlight Cover (the first entry at the top of list view). When you do this, a horizontal menu will appear on the image. Select “Replace”, this will open another menu with some options. (Open Media Library, Upload, Use featured Image, Reset)

  Hi there!

  I’d be happy to help you with this 😄

  You can change the header image by navigating to Appearance → Editor and accessing the Front Page template. Then, use the Document Overview to find the Header blocks; within the Header blocks, you’ll find the Cover block, this contains your header image. Here’s a screenshot to illustrate. You can learn more about using the Site Editor here: https://wordpress.com/support/site-editor/.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other questions we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re here to help!

  Hello
  We are having issues with the size that the logo is displaying in the header. On the preview we can have it nice and large then on the live site its tiny.

  If you want to change the header image:

  1. Select the Header from the Document Overview.
