I just figured out yesterday how to make the cover image \/ header image smaller in the WordPress 2017 (Twenty Seventeen) theme, and I’ve already had a number of people ask me how!<\/p>\n
It’s pretty simple. And you don’t need to modify the theme, or make a child theme. Simply go to Customize>Additional CSS and copy and paste the below<\/p>\n
You can change that number 30vh for different heights. That’s it!<\/p>\n I did two more things for my blog.<\/p>\n First, I didn’t like the “POSTS” heading on my page, since my main page is posts, so I also added this, below the above, in the same box:<\/p>\n And finally, I then felt the padding was a bit too much with that heading gone, so I also put this in, to remove space:<\/p>\n Please note that with this last bit, the spacing will also change, and a bit differently, on individual post pages. I liked 0.75em best across both, and of course feel free to change that – just be sure to look at the main page and your individual post pages before finalizing!<\/p>\n This looks good on computers, phones, and tablets :)<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just figured out yesterday how to make the cover image \/ header image smaller in the WordPress 2017 (Twenty Seventeen) theme, and I’ve already had a number of people ask me how!
