How do I Reduce the Height of This Portion of the Banner?

How do I reduce the height of this part of the banner on this Wordpress site?

To reduce the lower part of the banner (that contains the image of the city skyline) I had to enter this into the function.php file:

Code:

define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'twentyeleven_header_image_height', 150 ) );

I highlighted the portion of the header that I'm now trying to reduce (using Firebug), and noticed that the div id above that portion of code is labelled "page."

When I highlight (from within Firebug) the image in the banner that I successfully shortened, the div id is "header-image".

So I tried to put "two and two together", and that that I would enter the following into the functions.php:

Code:

 define( 'PAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'twentyeleven_page_height', 300 ) );

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Am I close? I'm trying to make that top part of the banner as small as I can to increase the amount of information a site visitor can see "above the fold."

Obviously, I don't know CSS, but I'm doing my best to figure this out. Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Changing the height and any other styling characteristics should always be done with CSS.

You've already discovered the div id via Firebug so go to your stylesheet and look for the same div there, it will be described as:

#header-image

Then, within the curly brackets - { } - look for the attribute 'height' (no quotes). If it's there adjust its value to the height you want and if it's not there add it like this:

height: 20px;

(But specify the height you want - it will be more than 20px!)

Cheers,

Martin.

Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Modifying this section of code modifies the image below the one I want to shrink.

I want to modify the area above the banner pointed to in the image above; the portion that contains the words.

I only found the #header-image code in one spot in my stylesheet.

Below are the contents of my stylesheet.

Add this to your CSS:
Code:

header#branding{height:70px}
*You can adjust the height as you need.

  Thanks for the suggestion.
  
  Unfortunately, adding/modifying the code you suggest shrinks the portion of code that I want to shrink, but it does it by expanding the maroon portion of the banner.
  
  I want to keep the maroon (menu-containing) portion of the banner at its current size, but make the top portion that contains the words smaller height-wise.
  
  Thanks again.
  
  Thanks

That page is weird.. The red bar isn't actually attached to the nav bar..

If I was doing it, I would grab the image of the red bar and stamp it on the top of the image with all the buildings, then re-upload it and hide the current red bar.

You'll then be able to easily adjust the header section using the height css attribute
- Thanks
