# Adjust Pilcrow's header

 * I’m trying to adjust the header size in Pilcrow. I’d like my header image to 
   be 770×55 rather than its defaulted 770×200. When I upload my smaller image it
   automatically crops and resizes it to the defaulted height (and disproportionately,
   of course).
 * I’ve adjusted the size in the style.css for the child theme I’ve created, however
   the defaulted size requirements still show up when uploading a header image.

   on their website.

 * Just needed to do this myself. The solution is to edit the functions.php file
   in the theme folder.
 * About line 84, change the default “200” to what ever you need:
    `define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT',
   apply_filters( 'pilcrow_header_image_height', 200 ) );`
 * Then upload your new image with the correct height in the Admin > Appearance 
   > Header page.
