# Header Image Larger Width Needed

 * On the original MyKnowledgeBase theme the default header image is cropped and
   floats to the left.
 * I’d like to add a header image that spans the width of the webpage but every 
   time I add a larger image it still forces me to crop to 600px width. Can you 
   tell me where in the CSS I can force it to allow a larger width for the header
   image?

 * Hi,
 * You can do it with CSS only… but it’s not very clean:
 *     ```
       .image-homepage {width:100%;}
       .sidebar-homepage {display:none;}
       ```
   
 * Why not clean? Now homepage sidebar is hidden.
 * You can also make those changes in theme itself:
    1) change image-homepage width
   in file style.css 2) remove all sidebar-homepage code from files style.css, header.
   php and functions.php
 * But you will loose these changes when theme gets updated.
 * The best way is to create a [child theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/),
   but this is much more work and result is the same…
