[Hidden-tech] PHP code help...

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi David,

Sounds like the logo image is being called as a background image via  
css.

QUICK FIX:

IF the current header image is already at the EXACT SIZE you want,  
then a quick fix would be to call the site up in a browser. Right  
click on the logo and view image (or view background image) and note  
the filename and pixel dimensions in the browser header.

Then size your new image to the same pixel dimensions of the current  
image (at 72 pixels resolution), export it in whatever format -- gif,  
png, or jpg -- the current image is, and name it the same as the old  
image. Then do a find file for the old image file if you have it  
locally, or look through the server files for the header image file.  
Overwrite the file on the server with your new header file, and  
refresh your browser.

If the image is not already the same size, then you'll have to get  
into some coding -- changing the dimensions of the image file in the  
css as well as whatever divs might be affected (assuming that the  
theme designer used a table-less layout created with css as most  
themes are thesedays).

It would probably be a good idea to back up your files first as a  
precaution -- or at least the files you'll be changing.

Good luck,
Kimo
