Revamp your WordPress website’s logo

A logo is an integral part of your brand image. They help you identify your business anytime and anywhere, whether online or offline. Therefore, using a brand logo on your website is very important and meaningful.

In this article, you will learn how to easily update your logo on your WordPress website. I'll start by discussing the things you should keep in mind when creating a logo for your brand.

In another article, I covered how to change the WordPress logo size on your website.

Things to Remember When Creating a Logo

Since you are reading this article, you probably already have a logo that you would like to use on your website. However, if you have recently created a website and are still trying to figure out what your logo should look like, you should consider using these two tips.

1. Try to create a logo that is simple and unique. There are many places you may want to use this logo. If the logo design is complex, creating a small version will be a problem. Ideally, you want your logo to be legible at all sizes.
2. Try to create a logo that is relevant to your brand name or the industry you represent.

You don't have to strictly follow these rules. Just use the logo that works best for you. However, keeping these tips in mind can help you create a better logo.

Change your logo in WordPress

Different theme developers will have their own navigation links that you must click to get to the section where you can change your WordPress logo. However, they are all located somewhere in the admin dashboard under Appearance > Customization.

Afterwards, you can click Site ID in most free themes to get to the following screen. Just click Select Logo and select your logo from the media library.

Developers of some premium themes may have more complex customizer settings that give you greater control over more aspects of your site's appearance. This also means that the option to change the website logo will be located elsewhere in the dashboard (but still under Appearance > Customization). Below is an example of the theme Eduma on ThemeForest.

The Logo option in this example is located under Appearance > Customization > General > Logo. Additionally, clicking on LOGO will take us to a new menu with more logo-related options.

This particular theme gives us the option to upload two different logo variations: a regular logo and a sticky logo. The sticky logo appears when someone scrolls on the site for a while.

Just like Eduma, many other premium themes have their own customizer implementation. You may have to do some digging to find the exact options, but they're usually easy to find.

Logo change option not found

You may have tried different menus but still can’t find the option to change the logo on your WordPress site. In this case, the theme developer most likely did not add support for a custom logo when creating the theme.

Basically, the theme requires you to add the following line somewhere in your functions.php file to add support for a custom logo.

add_theme_support( 'custom-logo' );

If the above line is missing from your theme file, you won't see any option to change your website logo. If this happens, just ask the theme developer to add support for a custom logo.

in conclusion

I hope this article helped you learn how to change the logo on your own WordPress website. As I mentioned before, not all theme developers put these options in the same place. If you still can't find these options, just contact the theme developer and they may be able to help.
