  I have widened my overall theme to 1200 pixels. How can I make my header image also be that wide? Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Blogum supports the new flexible header image feature. Upload the header image in the size you want and on the upload page, select “use as is” and WordPress will not crop or resize it, but use it in the original size.

  Thank you for your reply. I tried doing that, but it is not giving me the option to click “use as is.” I did see that Blogum is on the list of supported themes for the flexible header.

  Hmmmm, that is interesting.

  We can do it with CSS. Can you upload the image to your media library and then post the URL of that image here for me to use? It is easier if I have the image to work with.

  Thank you so much for your help. But I decided to switch themes to Adelle.

  I don’t think Blogum has the flexible header image option just yet, but you can indeed make a change like that with custom CSS. Since cupofchic has switched themes, if anyone else is looking for help doing that, please make a separate help request with a link to the blog you’re working on.
