Change Header and Footer logo

[eanhtng]

Hello, How can I change WPLMS logo to my logo (text: Edu.Solutions) but still keep the transparent style of the default logo? It is not easy for newbie to figure out how to customize the home page. It seems like too much hard-coded and invisible to administrator. Thank you and best regards, Andy.

You have to copy the header.php of the main theme in your child theme and then remove the <img src> tag from it and place your custom text in there to have text indtead of image . If you already using the child theme then find the header.php file in it and find the id "logo" and remove the img tag and place your text . refer : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/how-to-use-child-theme/

Same goes goes the footer . Or you can create an image with just text and put it as your logo .

Sorry, but could you give me the command example, as I am too new to PHP to implement what you said

Are you currently using a child theme? If not, you'd first have to use a child theme: https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/how-to-use-child-theme/ If you are using a child theme, there should be a file located: /wp-content/themes/wplmschild/header.php In that file is where you do the PHP change.

Yes in that path edit your header.php file and remove the <img > tag and write your text in place of that .

Please follow these steps : 1. Upload and install the blank child theme (provided in wplms package) . 2. Now copy the footer.php and header.php and paste it in your wp-content/wplmsblankchildhtheme folder . 3. now edit the files find for the img tag near the text "logo". 4. Delete the whole img tag and write your site name in the <a>(anchor) tag .

Is this tip still valid with the newest WPLMS version?

[Diana]

@Oscar, yes, this is still valid. We recommend Blank Child Theme for customization related work because then your custom work will be saved even after theme updates.

@Diana But I am already working on Theme nr5, I can't afford to switch themes now. Is there no other way how to add transparent text without risk of it being overwritten with some updates? Also why updates would impact my site customization at all?

[Diana]

@Oscar, According to its name Blank Child Theme is totally blank. No code is written it which will overwrite your existing theme content. This theme is only used for customizations. e.g. In File A you have to customize something which is in folder B. So, in blank child theme(after activating this theme) you have to create a folder B(exactly same name) with file A in it(same name) and add the customized code here.

This is someone else topic and i can assist you better on your own topic
