I have zero code experience. I spent probably 6-10 hours over several days trying to figure out how to reduce the height of my header (i.e., make it slimmer, but keep width the same) using CSS code. I had absolutely zero interest in messing with the theme editor because I’ve had my fair share of scares where I’ve almost crashed my site.

Despite all of the supposed solutions out there, nothing was working. I even tried the Elementor plugins, and those didn’t work either. Then this one finally worked.

Best part, once again, is that you can *change the height* of your header to make it slimmer if you want. So now my pages don’t have the large rectangular header image anymore.

Only downside is I can’t customize based on the page. I originally wanted to keep the home page the same but make all other pages’ header slimmer, but this plugin will change the header on all pages. But I have to give it 5 stars because, as I said, it’s the only thing that’s worked for me. Nothing else has been able to make my header image slimmer. Thanks again,

I am using Add Custom Header Images with the WordPress Twenty Eleven theme. It works great except that there seems to be a bug. The Twenty Eleven theme comes with a number of default header images that show up along with the images I had uploaded to the “The Headers” page for the plugin to use.

I did a hack to fix this using a tip from Voodoo Press: https://voodoopress.com/adding-and-removing-default-headers-in-twentyeleven/

// REMOVE SOME DEFAULT HEADERS
function voodoo_header_out() {
    unregister_default_headers( array(
        'wheel',
        'shore',
        'trolley')
    );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'voodoo_header_out', 11 );

If you do this, be aware that the array of default images in the example is incomplete. You will have to add the rest of them.
