[SOLVED] Can no longer set height of header image after adding header widget

Today I added a header widget. After some testing I deleted the header widget, and removed it from the Atahualpa "Delete custom Widget Areas" and also from the "Configure Header Area." I verified that it's gone from the "Available Widgets" area. I've refreshed my browser's cache, logged in and out, deleted the cache folder, etc, but no matter what I do I can no longer control the height of the header image.

The actual image is 150 bytes tall, but I have the height set to 100 bytes in Atahualpa (have tried changing it to several values). No matter what I do the imaged displays as 150 bytes in the blog.

Of course I could just edit the header image to 100 bytes, but that's not really the point of my post. I'm trying to nail down what may be a bug. Any ideas?

What version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the url?

p.s. it's pixels, not bytes

Version is latest on both. WordPress 2.8.4. Atahualpa 3.4.4.

Not sure how I got the word "bytes" stuck in my head. :)

The url is http://www.c3mweb.com. It's not ready for public use, and is just a testing site for the time being. I've been tinkering with it as a possible replacement website for our existing one. I don't think my boss is going to go for it though. :( Too 2-d.

what do you have set at ATO->Header Image->Header Image: Height? - it looks like you have this set to 100.
It looks like you are trying to use a CSS Insert to change the height. Why?

I have it set to 100. But it's displaying the entire 154 pixels of the image.

Regarding using CSS insert... I know nothing. I'm a database guy, not a web guy. :) I added a widget to the header, and couldn't make the widget look the way I wanted, so I removed the widget. That's when I could no longer resize the header image.

Perhaps the widget left something behind?

go to ATH->HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts and see if there is the following

HTML Code:

div.header-image-container {

  padding-top:.2px;

  height:150px;

}

and remove it

this CSS insert is overriding the Header height setting in the option page since it comes last. This is why it keeps showing as 150

You were exactly right. I don't remember putting that in there though. Could it have been added by putting a widget up there?

I've never seen of heard of the widget doing that. You must have put it in at some point
