Changing The Customiser On Wordpress

[Data Glasses]

I am trying to set the customiser header image cropping option to a larger size (height) instead of 250 I want 450, I have changed the size in the css file but when I add an image I am still restricted to a height of 250, where do I go to change the setting, theme functions code ??

Many Thanks

Wordpress has a customiser?

Got the feeling you know what I am referring to, some of us still use the grammar from "British Australia" remember, before we became americaniZed, regards

Yes I do. I have never used it. And can't ever seeing me use it for what you wanted.

It was mentioned in a WordPress meet up group so I have looked into it, it seems depending on what theme you are using whether there are many options? For me the whole point was just to add a few photos to randomly appear at the site header. Worth noting many WordPress users do not know code, so it is a handy "extra" for some folk

Best practice is always to make the image the size you want before uploading.

Hi Spacey, if you are using one of the bundled WP themes (2014, 2015 etc...) I believe you can edit the custom-header.php file (under appearance > editor). Just search for "height" and you'll find it easy enough. The height that you put in here (450) will feed through to the customiser and should then allow you to upload an image in the customiser with a height of 450.

In a bit of a rush so if it doesn't make sense I'll try and explain better later.
