Increase Header Height

Hi Larry,

Can you clarify whether you mean the height of the logo or the height of the background header image?

Can you post a link to your site so we can take a look?

Hi Gary,
I do not have the logo option, which was part of what I was referring to in my previous question that you answered, regarding using Jet Pack. In the customizing menu, it’s just referred to as the Header Image, not background image. I did find a css code that made the header height larger. It was my way of getting around the no logo option by creating my logo, if you will, in the header image. I’m not sure you can see my site. It’s brand new and in the process of being switched from godaddy to HostGator with free wordpress platform. I’m using a view host plugin in Chrome to capture it, to experiment a bit while I’m waiting for change over to complete.

If Jetpack is installed as advised in the other thread, the site logo feature becomes available in Appearance > Customize > Site Title, Tagline, and Logo.

I’m not able to install jetpack, I’m getting failure to connect error. Could be because I’m using view host extension

If you’re talking about the area where the site title goes, you can increase it by adding this to your Additional CSS:

.site-branding {min-height: 300px;}

Of course, you’d set the height as you like it. Hope that helps.

As for Jetpack, your host may be blocking the connection. You can head over to jetpack.com/debug for more info. Good luck!

Thanks..your css code worked!!

i ran debug and it returned:

It looks like XML-RPC is not responding correctly. Please make sure XML-RPC is turned on for your site and is set up to respond to all content types. You can test this yourself by running the following command from the command line:

curl -A ‘Jetpack by WordPress.com’ -d ‘<methodCall><methodName>demo.sayHello</methodName></methodCall>’ https://www.larrykutcher.com/xmlrpc.php

The answer should be:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<string>Hello!</string>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
