 * This seems to be a common problem.
 * Knowing nothing about using child themes, is there a way to remove the avatar
   without using them?
 * Also – is it possible to make the coloured header narrower, so that it takes 
   up less vertical space?
 * Otherwise, I love this theme!
 * Thanks in advance.

 * If you really want to customize it more then you can do by gui you better take
   a look at [child themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes). It’s a quick
   thing to do and avoids some headache once the next theme updates are available.

 * Thanks!
    Despite knowing nothing about this, I eventually managed to sort it 
   using a child theme – I think I’ll go and have a lie-down now!

 * I found a quick and easy way to remove or change the avatar using a simple plugin
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/)
   
   You can choose to remove the avatar by deselecting a box in the settings of the
   plugin, or change the avatar to your own logo or image by uploading one in the
   settings. It took seconds to remove the avatar this way, might be helpful for
   anyone who doesn’t want to set up a child theme or touch the functions file.
