    Hi –

    I’m using the custom header feature from dashboard. I uploaded an image that’s 750 pixels wide. WP wants me to crop 25 pixels off the width. Can someone tell me what’s going on here?

    Thanks.

    I don’t think WP actually wants you to do anything. Are you saying that your site is not as wide as your header image? If so, that would be a theme issue.

    I can find nothing in my site php or css files that defines a width less than 750px. Or, for that matter, any width at all.

    What is the theme? Right now I see a maintenance page. Look in the style.css for any fixed widths.

    Oops…sorry about that. I just disabled maintenance mode.

    The theme is zenlite. There are a few references in layout.css (which is called by style.css) but they apply to specific areas, not the entire site (as far as I can tell, anyway).

    Thanks.

    Any theme options in the Appearance menu?

    The path to your header image seems odd:

    https://www.widebandcomputers.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/zenlite/../../uploads/web_images/banner.jpg

    The themes/zenlite/../../ seems like a mistake.

    What if you change

    #wrapper {
	width:80%;
	max-width:1000px;

    No, I don’t think so.

    I just discovered that I’d hard-coded an image in my functions.php file. Removing that seemed to make it work OK…still not sure what happened, but I guess I can consider this resolved.

    Thanks.

    Now the path to the header background image looks normal in the source code. Suffice to say that something has to be controlling the width of the layout.
