Can you please try adding it using [Advanced CSS Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-css-editor/) plugin and see if it works? * Thanks! * Thread Starter [piratesjv81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piratesjv81/) * (@piratesjv81) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415041) * thanks that worked great. The purpose of me increasing the header size though was to allow for space below for the tagline. I currently have the blog tagline listed as “under the blog title” however since importing my new logo it keeps moving it over to the right of the logo. My ideal appearance would be to have the logo and tagline left aligned with a small amount of padding from the edge.

It’s a different thing to educate people and add that there’s an option to add CSS. The user just looked at his site and gave the CSS using inspect element, instead of installing the theme. * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415164) * [@hardeep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeep/) the comment was not addressed to the user who tried to help, but that you should know 😉 * [nonamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localgreeneats/) * (@localgreeneats) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415165) * How do I reduce the white space padding in the header?

Apart from that, it’s also required in Theme review guideline. * And your docs at [https://theme4press.com/docs/](https://theme4press.com/docs/) aren’t helpful. Not everyone is a WordPress expert. * And [@localgreeneats](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localgreeneats/), there is an option to set heading padding in theme options which you can use, as mentioned above. And please create a new thread for your questions. Hope you understand. 🙂 * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415170) * [@hardeep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeep/), so you are saying that to use the Customize/Theme Options page must be user an expert, seriously? Same like me, you have two eyes and you can read clearly what every option means as it has its own description ;). Writing a doc for every single option is useless and could definitelly confuse the end user 😉 * [Luke Cavanagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukecavanagh/) * (@lukecavanagh) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415171) * Most themes use there own theme options or the rest of the theme options are in the customizer. I think most users have got used to making changes in the customizer. * [nonamer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/localgreeneats/) * (@localgreeneats) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415172) * @ Hardeep, I have but haven’t received a response yet. * [Luke Cavanagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lukecavanagh/) * (@lukecavanagh) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/increase-header-size/#post-7415173) * I think you could have said it in a nicer way to the theme author.
