When you perform a clean install of this theme, your default setting is to show a Site Title in your header instead of a logo. Because of the design of this theme, it was created to use a text based title due to the limited space you have for logos (particularily large logos). However, when it comes to adding a logo, you will need to venture into the Customizer to perform this task. Currently, you have the following options available:
- Site Title
- Logo
What you decide is going to be up to you, but I should also mention that the site description (tagline) is not available for this theme. If you decide to use a logo, I would recommend that you don’t make it too large when using the inline menu header style. In fact, the height of your logo should not exceed 50 pixels. If you need it larger in height, you will need to adjust your menu positioning with some custom CSS.
Change the Site Title
- Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Site Identity
- In the “Site Title” field, change this to your own
- You can change the site tagline description if you wish, but this won’t show on the front-end of your site.
- Click “Save & Publish“
- This is what the above will look like:
- Site Tagline - You can also add your tagline below the site title if you wish. The tagline will show on new installs of WordPress and this theme.
- While you are in the “Site Branding” section, look for the “Tagline” setting and enter your own. Once done, this is what it should look like:
- Click “Save & Publish“
Add a Logo
When you upload your own logo, make sure it’s not too big. I recommend the height does not exceed 50 pixels for the inline menu style, but it can be taller for the menu centered style for the header. If you need a larger logo, you may need to make some CSS adjustments for positioning. However, and for at least the inline menu style of header, this theme was designed to best utilize a text based title.
File format for your logo image can be either a jpg or png for best results. This is the result we will get once uploaded where our title and image is our logo:
NOTE When uploading a logo, this will automatically disable the text based site title.
- Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Site Identity
- Look for the Site Logo setting and click on the “Select Image” button to upload your logo:
- If you are happy, click on the “Save & Publish” button at the top of the customizer.
