  Trying to upload header image in motif theme and even when the image is under the 320 pixels that it says is the max it makes me crop it. Is this a bug?

  Hi Henry, the Motif theme enforces an aspect ratio on header images. This means it requires them to be not only 320 pixels wide but also 110 pixels in height. If the width is less than 320 pixels, say 160, it will want the height to correspond proportionally, which would mean the height needs to be 55 pixels.

  You are probably uploading an image that has a height (or ratio) that is greater than the 110 pixels and so it is asking you to crop it.

  Hope this helps.
