I just can't create a NEW header that doesn't conform to the fixed specs. Thus, it seems Blaskan does still allow old headers that were larger than the fixe specs. The glitch, in some way, is still there.

I'm not totally sure what happened when you uploaded the one that is 336px height (I assume it was a temporary glitch.) but the theme is supposed to only support a fixed size header and there is no plan to add a support for a flexible size header.

I did that already so please subscribe to the thread and you will be notified when they respond which maybe after the weekend.

But please take a look, for example at my "testing" blog, where you will see that my header, which I made last year, does NOT conform to these dimensions. In other words, it appears as if Blaskan used to allow flexible headers and now does not -- but will allow you to still use saved old headers. Any new ones you create have to conform to the specs you cite above. I hope I make sense here. (Still, seems a step backward to have had flex headers only to regress to fixed ones now. ) Thoughts?

Here's my testing site:

See how large the above header is compared to my regular site's header. Yet both use Blaskan, of course.

Note: 2 & 3 column layout is 1120 and 1 column layout is 540.

I think you are thinking of "responsive layout" in your description. A flexible header lets you play with the height and width. Blaskan is a responsive design, but it does not offer a flex header. Interestingly, it appears that it used to, because I had one a year ago -- and, incidentally -- because by larger-than-now-allowed headers is saved on my headers page, I can still use that former header. However, I cannot create a new header with my former dimensions. That's a shame that Blaskan would regress in that way, but oh well.

However, I want to change it, but I can't create a new one header of the same size I have now. I realize Blaskan says that the header is not flexible, but if that's the case, how did I manage to create a header that's more than 300 pixels high (without using CSS, btw)? (It was done a year ago. Did the setting on Blaskan change? If so, that really sucks that there used to be a flexible header and now there is not!) Please advise. Thanks!

So my smaller image is all goofy.

This page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/

...makes it seem that this option would be included on the free version and I would not have to purchase the custom design upgrade in order to load a custom header.

Do I have that right? Or do I have to upgrade to have a custom header.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The header image size for my theme is 960x270, but I want to use an image that is 960x500, so I chose a theme that has the Flexible Header option. When I uploaded the picture, instead of cropping the photo I chose "Skip cropping - leave as is." But even though it doesn't appear to cropped when I'm in my dashboard, when I go to my actual site it HAS been cropped. Any idea why, and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance!

I figured out how to add height to my header, but now cannot add an image. I can upload a photo, but am then forced to crop it to the original header size defeating the purpose of my height change, and when I preview the change nothing appears, it is still the generic blue header. I am using K2-lite.

Also, I am making a changes to my existing blog and would like all of my existing photos to be "Large" instead of medium. Is there a way to make this possible? Please help! Thanks!

Yes. We like the flexible header and there is a plan to implement it to all themes one by one. Since we have over 180 themes, I can't give you an exact time frame at this point but we will implement it as soon as possible.

Is the Theme Team working on getting more themes with Flexible Header? Currently the number of themes available with Flexible Header is very limited. I am seriously in a need to refresh my theme with the latest one but I can't afford large header images. Just curious about the time-frame of availability of other themes with flexible headers.
