Thank you for replying, I solved the “issue” last night – after two solid days of tweaking everything in different combinations and searching online for possible solutions… oh god, who’da thought it was something so unrelated to the theme.
When I would test-view the changes I’d made via my desktop – I would hold both my iphone and ipad sideways, in landscape mode versus portrait – just cuz it’s my preference. My rotated screen was locked and it works just like normal… EXCEPT when viewing my website – where the header images would appear super enlarged – somehow the entire website worked-viewed just as normal expected – but the header images don’t translate properly until I unlocked and rotated my iphone or ipad back to portrait mode.
Damn, I want those two days back, but at least I learned something I didn’t know I needed to learn. Thanks.
