[resolved] How can I replace the free theme creator's logo with my own? (5 posts)

    What do I need to do to the theme's zip file in order to replace the "zinmax" at the top left-hand corner of this theme with my site's logo? I would also first like to know if it is legal to mess with these free themes like this. I am not at all trying to take the creator's name off of the bottom, or the copyright. The link below provides an example of the theme I would like to use.

    http://web2feel.com/demosite2/

    And the zip file for the theme can be found at the following link:
    http://www.freewpblogthemes.com/2009/05/01/free-wordpress-theme-zinmax/

    Thank you so much for your help!

    It's perfectly alright to change the logo or anything else in this theme.

    If you look in the style sheet, you will see that your header has the following css:

    .blogname {
    	width:400px;
    	font-family:Georgia ,Century gothic,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;
    	margin:10px 0 0 0px;
        float:left;
    	height:110px;
    	background-repeat:no-repeat;
    	background-image:url(images/dollar.png);
    	}
    .blogname h1  {
    	font-size:40px;
    	padding:0 0 0px 0;
    	font-weight:normal;
    	color:#cacccd;
    	text-align:left;
    	margin:25px 0 0 120px;
    	text-indent:-9000px;
    	background:url(images/logo.png) no-repeat;
    
    	}

    You can change the images dollar.png and logo.png by making new ones uploading them in the themes folder via ftp and modifying the css with the new image names, dimensions, etc...

    Thank you very much for your help. I successfully added a new picture to the images folder, but when I tried to change the css from (images/logo.png) to (images/bryan.jpeg) it would not let me save the file. I also tried deleting other random things and trying to save the file but no changes would save. Why do you think this is?

    Hi,

    You need to either edit header.php or style.css of you theme and check for the header logo image and change it with your desired one...

    Thanks,
