Custom logo for Twenty Ten template

You can add this image to the header via Appearance->Header.

esmi,

Thanks, but that will remove the photograph that is there. I want to replace the wording at the top of the page, not the photo.

You will need to create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

esmi,

Child theme created.

Upload your image (called logo.jpg) to the child’s images folder. It needs to be about 700px wide and 36px high. Then try adding the following to your child’s stylesheet:

#site-title {background:url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat;}
#site-title span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:-9999px;
left:-9999px;
}

esmi,

Thank you…I’ll have at it tomorrow morning. I’ll let you know the results.

esmi,

I followed your instructions, WordPress tells me that the installation was successful, but I don’t see the child theme in the Themes section and immediately after uploading when it asks if you wish to preview, I select “Yes” and am presented with a white screen.

Help?

Thanks,

This is the child stylesheet as I created it.

/*
Theme Name: twentyten-child
Template: twentyten
*/

@import url(“twentyten/style.css”);
#site title {background:url(images/logo4.jpg) no-repeat;}
#site title span{
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:-9999px;
left:-9999px;
}

@import url("twentyten/style.css");

should be

@import url("../twentyten/style.css");

Now I get this message:

Warning: fopen(/home/content/72/8181072/html/wp-content/themes/twentyten-child/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/72/8181072/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4339

You can download a basic Twenty Ten child theme here.

I downloaded the basic Twenty Ten child them then encoded it as per your instructions:

[CSS moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please just post a link to your site.]

The new, custom logo (logo4.jpg) does not appear. The standard logo font that comes with the theme appears.

Any additional help?

Thanks for all the contributions so far.

Now try activating the child theme…

Tried activating the theme:

As you can see the old logo is still in place.

Any other suggestions that you can think of?
