I think that I am losing my mind trying to get my new logo header up on my wordpress site. I have my jpeg saved as 500 x 72 pixels, and when I upload it to my wordpress site as a header, it is saying that I have to crop it. I am using the twenty ten theme locally to test it and I dont know what I am doing wrong. It says that images 940 x 198 will be used as is and mine is less then that and I still have to crop it.

Any idea on what I am doing wrong or any tips??

Thank you so much!

You're not doing anything wrong. Each theme comes with a default header. I put up two blogs with the twenty ten theme and was unable to upload full images, due to the limitations of the theme's header. Try using the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers. I have not used it, but it looks like it might contain some information that you can use.

Hi, for this to work you must upload an image larger than (or same size as) 940x198.

Or, you can find 'functions.php' in your theme directory and find the lines with:

PHP Code:

define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH',    apply_filters( 'twentyten_header_image_width', 940 ) ); define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT',    apply_filters( 'twentyten_header_image_height', 198 ) );

And edit them.

I hope this helps...

Thanks so much for posting this information. I created two Wordpress blogs this past summer and struggled with this header thing too. I'm excited about trying your code.

Thanks, I will look at this and see if it works for me. I have found a theme that allows me to upload my Logo and it displays it as a header and I like the way it works. I am still playing around with it though!!
