 * Hey guys! I am kinda stumped as to how to adjust the header height in the WPSTART
   theme. The theme has a header upload feature on the backend that requires the
   header image to be 940 × 300 pixels. I simply want to upload a 940 x 212 pixel
   image without it being resized.
 * I have created a child theme…what do i do next?
 * Here is a link to the WPSTART theme: [http://krusze.pl/wpstart/](http://krusze.pl/wpstart/)
 * thanks!

 * Hi RyanBrown
 * Try adding this bit of CSS (below) to your child theme’s style.css file.
 *     ```
       img.header-image {
       max-width: 900px;
       max-height: 212px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if it has the desired affect.
 * Regards

 * I should mention – the theme has an upload feature on the backend that crops 
   the image. It is designed for an image that is 300px high – is there a way to
   insert image through css and override this upload feature?
