You can either use CSS to put the logo as a background image or you’ll need to edit the header.php file. Posting a link to your site would be a good start.

I am still very new to wordpress so i didn’t realise you could put the logo as a single fixed background image and delete the default text. I just tried that but it is not big enough and still not showing the entire logo…
Any suggestions and help on what to change for use as a background image or with using CSS would be great! I have also copied the code if this helps. This is with the logo image as the background but it is not big enough or showing the entire logo.
#header{width:100%; float:left;}
.logo{ width:100%; float:left; margin-bottom:25px;}
.logo h1{ text-align:center; margin-bottom:5px;}
.logo h1 a{ color:#333; text-decoration:none;}
.desc{text-align:center;}
.outer-center {float: right;right: 50%;position: relative;}
.inner-center {float: right;right: -50%;position: relative;}
.logo img{ margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px; border:none;}
Thanks for the help!!
Okay, before you do anything else you need to create a child theme — otherwise you are going to lose all your changes when the theme is updated. After you’ve done that…and moved any changes you’ve made already into the child theme, then proceed on this.
You need to put the logo as a background in the #header CSS — not as a body background — which is what you have. Try this in the child theme style.css file:
#header {
background-image: url("http://fiercepublicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/logo1.png");
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
You will then likely need to do some adjustments to the spacing, etc. in the CSS and hide the text already there.
Hi there! I was able to upload my logo to the header thanks to your guidance, but is there any way to reduce the header height? I would like to significantly reduce the amount of white space above and below my logo. I tried cropping the logo but that didn’t help. Thanks for your help! http://www.blackparrotproductions.com

@blackparrot That’s not the same subject.
You can create your own thread to discuss that.
Edit: Good night WPyogi 🙂
Morning Andrew :)! Nitey-nite for me…
