Add my header image to the Minimum Genesis theme

[Herrin]

Am trying to add our own header to the Minimum theme - it only seems to allow for a 100pixel high image by 1140px.

I want to add a 1140 by 376 px image to be on every page as well as maintaining the mobile responsiveness of the theme. I go to Appearance >> Header.

I've managed to find the 100px declaration in the functions.php file and change it to 376 but it still does not show the correct height on the front end.

I assume some code or CSS is making this happen?

Thanks,

Yes, look for the height in the CSS and change it there. Also, you may need to re-upload your header again.

Thanks for your reply

Ok I updated this at line 185

#header {
background-position: top center!important;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 376px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 1140px;
}

Now when I resize the header the header space stays at 376px and it does not resize to fit the image container.

Re-added header image as well and still same behaviour.

Thanks for any help. I usually don't have so much trouble with Genesis themes.

I am trying to change the header size in the Minimum theme – it only allows for a 1140px image by 100px. - Same issue as above. I cannot change the header height to 256px.

I have changed it under
/* Header
------------------------------------------------------------ */
/* Image Header - Partial Width
------------------------------------------------------------ */
even added
#header{
width: 722px;
height:256px;
}

I added the png file to the theme images as header.png.

I still can't get the Appearance/Header to change the size from 1140 x 100 to 1140 x 256.

I, also, would appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.

Thank you.

Open up the functions and look for 1140 x 100. Change the 100 to 256 and save it. Then upload your header image again.

Thank you for your assistance. I did make the changes -
/** Add support for custom header */
/** Changed Add support for custom header height from 100 to 256*/
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
'width' => 1140,
'height' => 256
) );
I removed all images from the Medial Library
The Appearance/Header reflected 1140 x 256 - However, when I uploaded the image the crop/publish would only allow half of the height. I literally had to change the height from 256 to 405 for it to highlight the whole height of 256. Of course that was to big.

I have changed the image it is now height 205px - changed the functions - tried to load the image again. Appearance would reflect the size correctly but when it came to cropping it cut the height by 50%.

I continued to try many things - and thought I would write for more advice when I tried by more thing. the image width was not 1140 but 578. I change the functions to reflect width of 578..

Removed all images, upload the image file again and there it was - perfect. Functions now reflect Height 578 and Width 205. I honestly did not think that the width remaining as 1140 would effect the process.

Again, thank you for your assistance.
