    Hi,

    Its been a while since I changed my site's main header banner. I've just modified my banner to a little extent and tried changing it but I'm not quite sure how to. Perhaps a bit baffled here.

    When I logged into my wordpress panel, I went to Appearance > Header. There I saw the 'Add New Image' button to change the header. I'm not quite sure if this is the place to change the header banner. Since I'm using the old Agency theme, its prompting to crop the header image to 960 x 115.

    My existing banner size is 980 x 150 and I don't want to change this dimension. So can someone please tell me how shall I go about changing this? I've tried to upload the banner image via cpanel and replaced the current image but it was of no avail.

    This is my site: http://adultacnetreatmentreviews.com.

    Help here please! Much appreciated!

    Thank You!

    To change the dimensions of the header, change the following line (27) in functions.php:

    /** Add support for custom header */
    add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 960, 'height' => 115 ) );

    You will also need to adjust the size of site title and possibly header right in style.css.

    Hi Victor,

    I definitely wouldn't want to mess with any php file. I experienced absolute nightmare handling it.

    I did not touch any functions.php or any css file when I uploaded the header banner.
    The site title is all part of the banner image.

    Isn't there any other way around this?

    You only have two choices. You can either change the size of the banner to fit the designated area or change the code as instructed to change the size of the designated area to fit the banner. You can also search the net to see if there's a plugin that might help you with this, but I don't think you'll find anything.

    Regards,

    Hi Victor, thanks for your response. I just want to change my current banner to a new one. That's all.
    So how would editing the php and css files change it?

    I don't get it! 🙁
