Added header image to Genesis sample child theme, but not showing full logo

[angiehull]

I followed instructions sent to me to add a custom header image to the Genesis sample theme, making sure that the dimensions of my logo match the dimensions in the code exactly, yet I am still asked to crop the image when saving to the media library. I have saved the image as logo.png as required. Hours spent on this - very frustrating! Can anyone help please? I have taken screen shots but cannot add them here. Site not live so can't provide URL.

Don't know what "instructions sent" mean...but did you add the image dimensions to your functions.php file?
Something like this:

//* Add support for custom header
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
	'flex-height'     => true,
	'width'           => 960,
	'height'          => 200,
	'header-selector' => '.site-title a',
	'header-text'     => false,
) );

You change the "width" and "height" to match the size of the image you have made for your header. So in my example, I have a full width header image. You can make it what you want.

Thank you @Andykev, the "instructions sent" refers to an earlier enquiry of mine and pointed me to http://wpbeaches.com/add-custom-header-image-genesis-sample-theme/ which I followed exactly (I think). But I see that your example code has an additional line at the end 'header-text' => false, so perhaps this is the cause of the problem. What do you think? Initially I had a larger image so changed the height and width as you suggest, but that didn't work either. Might try to add in the additional line about the header-text and see what happens. If you follow the link you will see that it "recommends" parameters but that the 'flex-height' => true, and 'flex-width' => true, should override the recommended size anyway. It doesn't seem to.

Hi,

when you add a new header image, it always says "Select and Crop".

After you click on the button, you should see the image overlayed with a rectangle showing the area that will be visible.

If the image is bigger than the area, you can select the area you want to show and crop it.
If it fits right into the area, just click skip cropping.
