• I’m new to WordPress – trying to maintain our website in between two professional website managers. My boss has assigned me with the simple task of changing our header image from our old logo to our new logo. I have scoured the forums for how to do this- and I cannot for the life of me figure out WHERE the image is in the first place to change it.

    Can someone please explain to me simply: where in this code is the header image and how do I change it?

    This is my website:

    http://www.thenovogratz.com

    This is what I’m working with:

    Description: Platform Base is a Platform child theme (a WordPress child theme) designed to be edited to customize the PlatformPro WordPress framework. Use custom CSS and PHP hooks to do almost anything. Designed and developed by <a href="http://www.pagelines.com">PageLines</a>.  **IMPORTANT** For this to work PlatformPro must be called 'platformpro' (lowercase) in your themes folder.

    Edit this style sheet to create your own custom theme based on the Base Platform theme. 
    
    Rules placed in this stylesheet will override the default styles of the Base Platform theme and will not be changed or over written when you update the
    Platform framework. Additionally, since this stylesheet is purely for editing purposes you can easily undo or erase some of the CSS to return your site back to the look and feel of the Base theme. 
    
    In the Base theme the footer is black and the CSS looks like this:
    
    	#footer {
    		clear:both;
    		font-size:1em;
    		overflow:hidden;
    		text-align: left;
    		background: #000;
    		color: #999;
    		position: relative;
    	}
    
    To change the background color to white, all you have to do is declare a new rule for the color like so:
    
    		#footer { background: #FFF; }
    
    A great tool for modifying themes and inspecting CSS elements is the FireBug extension for FireFox. You can also use the developer tools provided by Chrome (right-click and "inspect element") or Internet Explorer if you're feeling dangerous.
    
    LEARN CSS - We recommend using Lynda.com video tutorials to learn using CSS.
    			Also, for a comprehensive list of CSS rules and usage try consulting W3 schools @ http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

    I’m pretty sure you’re over thinking this problem. That logo is in the wp-content/uploads/ directory so it probably was uploaded via the theme’s header option. From what I understand that theme is very flexible that way.

    Contact the theme vendor http://www.pagelines.com/forum/ and post this there, they may be able to save you some grief.

    Obligatory notice: That’s a commercial theme and we don’t support those here. But I’m pretty sure if you can get support quickly at the vendor’s site.

    Does your theme allow you to upload an image via an ePanel or Editor?

    Look to the left and in your Dashboard locate “Appearance” select one of the options “Theme” or in your case “PlatformPro”

    Under the Header section upload your new Logo.

    Otherwise your code above needs to be corrected in the “Dashboard” “Appearance” “Editor” section.

    Look for the section on the right labeled “Header” Click it.

    If the code was directly written into the CSS then look for something like this… (make the changes to the bold text) Your logo’s URL goes there. Don’t forget to save.

    [ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. As it stands, your code may now have been permanently damaged/corrupted by the forum’s parser. ]

    <a>"><?php $logo = (get_option('estore_logo') <> '') ? get_option('estore_logo') : get_bloginfo('template_directory').'<strong>/images/logo.png</strong>'; ?>
    				<img src="<?php echo esc_url($logo); ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr(get_bloginfo('name')); ?>" id="logo"/></a>

    Awesome. Thank you so much, both of you. I really appreciate it. I poked around in the CSS code but I couldn’t find anything. This is probably way over my head. Thank you both for your help!
