Need code and upload info for adding logo and link to header

  • I am new to WordPress and need the code to put a logo in place of the Site name on the header that will link back to my home page when clicked. I also would like to replace the rss feed in the header with a Facebook.gif and link to our Facebook page.

    Where do I place the gif and jpeg of the logos that I want to add/replace?

    I hope someone knows how to do this. Thanks for your help!!!

    Before changing the header image, you should be familiar with basic FTP program usage, image files, and manipulating/creating artwork with a program such as Photoshop.

    You need an FTP program such as FireZilla (free).

    Install the FTP program; and add your site’s login info… URL, username, password.

    Connect to your site with the FTP program.

    You will see a listing of directories (folders) and files.

    Move through your directories to where the header image is stored. That path typically is:
    public_html > wp-content > themes > pianoblack >img >

    In that directory should be the default header artwork.. maybe something like header.jpg

    Download this file, and open with a graphics program such as Photoshop.
    In Photoshop you can determine the exact pixel size; width and height.

    Create your own header to these exact sizes.

    Save your Photoshop (psd) file for later revisions if needed; and do a Save As, to save the file as a jpg (or whatever format the file you downloaded was.

    Be Sure to Name It with the same name as the file you downloaded.

    Upload your new, custom file back into the same directory where you downloaded the original. You may wish to rename the ‘old’ file before uploading the new so that you can revert to the old file if needed.

    That should do it.
