Change the width of the title background image.

​This is my website. http://hollywoodpress.biz/its-you-zayn-malik/ I would like to change the width of the title background image. I get images from http://placeimg.com/​ this site and every time I update the page, I get different image. But the image size is set to 1000*400. I would like to stretch the image to full width. How can I do that? Please help me. Thanks.

I changed the css as follows: 

.gdlr-page-title-wrapper {
    background-size: cover;
    background-image: url('http://placeimg.com/1000/400/tech/sepia');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
}

The easiest way I know how is to set the CSS properties for the element hosting the image to use these properties:

background-image: url("paper.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;

This is usually a div element.

Maybe another rule somewhere in your .css is interfering with this one ? Something that concerns img elements, the header, or even this particular class.

Also, maybe should you aim another class ?

(after checking the website, I must say I don't really see the issue in the way the image is displayed)
