 * I am using the Custom Community theme on [http://www.theurbansniper.com](http://www.theurbansniper.com)
   and have two issues I need help with.
 * 1) The header image is only as wide as the content div and does not extend to
   cover the sidebar.
 * 2) The header slide show is a nice feature but why doesn’t the image fill the
   alloted space?
    2.a) I would like the make the thumbnail section of the slide
   show smaller and make the large image (left side) larger.
 * Suggestions??

 * I’ve resolved my header width by adjusting a line in the function.php but this
   will not stick through a theme update, will it?
 * Still trying to figure out slideshow width.

 * Hi Luci, you are right, the changes you made to the theme, won’t stick when the
   theme is updated. Create a child theme and make all the change u want. you can
   read about child themes here : [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * regarding your slideshow width, change the width of your images to the size you
   want.

 * Thanks, I ‘ve made a child theme so I should be good with the header.
 * As for the slide show width. All images are over 1000px wide and the slide show
   compresses them down to roughly 400px

 * try adding the following code to your css :
 *     ```
       .attachment-756x250
       {
       width:750px;
       }
       ```
   
 * adjust the width according to your requirement.
    Also, use [firebug plugin/](http://https://getfirebug.com/)
   for firefox for making these kind of changes.

 * Yes! That was half of the issue.
 * Now the image fills up the alloted space however I would like the link list (
   the right side of the slide show) to be the same size as my right sidebar.
