I am trying to customize this website: http://www.westwood-land-trust.org. I followed this set of instructions: http://wpsites.net/web-design/change-logo-header-image-size-in-genesis/. It didn't work. It may be the coding is different on Going Green than when WP sites wrote this?
Please offer a suggestion.
http://www.westwood-land-trust.orgWhat exactly are you trying to achieve? The instructions on wpsites are pretty explicit.

Have you ever edited the header in Going Green?I tried to follow the instructions to the t. I even used the suggested sizes. But it didn't work. I tried with edits to the CSS and php files and FTP upload. Also tried making edits to Genesis Extender which is hit or miss sometimes when getting Save to stick.
Do you think I should try again with this tutorial or try another tutorial? If I can ask for other feedback, what do you think of Going Green as a theme that is good for editing?
Thank you for your time.
Quite frankly, I have not edited the header in Going Green, but I am not exactly a novice and I build my own customized themes from the Genesis Sample theme by editing functions.php, style.css and adding template files. I am not going to read through the tutorial to figure out exactly what you want to happen, hence my question? It would help me understand what you are trying to achieve and possibly find where it is going wrong.

Lynne emasai.comGenerally, you need to make 2 modifications.
1. Change the dimensions in the PHP code in your functions.php file to match your image so WordPress doesn't force you to crop your image when you upload it.
2. Change the width and height under the Site Header section of your style.css file to match your image. This may require you edit 1 or more values for the width and height.
Hi Brad,
Could you please tell me where step 1. "Change the dimensions in the PHP code in your functions.php file to match your image so WordPress doesn’t force you to crop your image when you upload it." has to be done. I cannot find any code that represents the values that are shown as the recommend size (in my case for Agency Pro the recommended size is 381 x 100).
Thank you, Dave
Looks like this:
//* Add support for custom header add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
In your functions.php file.
hi, Brad -
I followed your instructions and almost got it, but my header image is dropping:

I've been trying to use Genesis Super Customizer plug-in to try to get things to move, but no luck. Is there a specific site header plug-in to fix this? I see there are lot of page header plug-ins, but don't find a site header plug-in.
thanks, jimStart by removing the padding on .site header line 883
.site-header {
/* padding: 40px; */
}
