WordPress How To: Change Your Theme Logo
With all the crazy cool Premium WordPress Themes that are being developed now-a-days, less and less customization is necessary to get that slick and professional look you desire.
But the one thing every site owner will want to customize is the theme’s logo. Many premium theme developers are now adding easy upload features within their premium theme dashboards to replace the designated default theme logo.
However, for those themes that do not offer this option, it is as easy as 1,2,3 to change your theme logo to what you prefer. All we have to do is a logo file switcheroo:
- First, view your site in your browser. Right click on the default logo that is currently displaying in your theme, and choose “Properties”.
- A box will display that notes your theme’s logo image properties. You now know where the default logo is located (usually wp-content/themes/theme-name/images), what format it is (.gif, .jpg, .png) and what dimensions the logo graphic is so that we can duplicate that.
- Now all you have to do is create a logo graphic in the size noted. Once you have created your logo graphic, save it with the same file name and format as the graphic currently in place (.gif, .jpg, .png). Then all you have to do is upload your logo graphic to the location where the default resides on your hosting server to complete the switcheroo.
In your hosting control panel, you will find FTP upload tools and File Managers that allow you to upload files to specific locations on your hosting server. All you have to do is make sure that the logo you create is the same size (so it fits nicely) and that it has the same exact file name in order for it to display properly.
Give it a try and let me know how it work for you, O.K.?
At your service,
