Site Logo block

Go to the List of Blocks

The Site Logo block lets you add a logo or image representing your website identity and help increase brand recognition. Unlike a site icon or a favicon, a logo is only visible on website pages like the home page.

How to use the Site Logo block

To add a Site Logo block, create a new page or open the Site Editor. Click the Block Inserter icon and search for the Site Logo Block.

You can also type /site-logo and hit enter in a new paragraph block to add the Site Logo block quickly. 

Select the Site Logo placeholder icon and upload a new image or select one from the Media Library.

Once you have added an image logo, you can resize it using the drag handles.

When you add an image to the Site Logo block, the change applies to all Site Logo blocks on your website.

To use the site logo image as the site icon in browser tabs, bookmark bars, and WordPress mobile apps, access the Site Logo block settings panel and enable the Use as site icon option. It automatically set the image in the Site Logo block as the site icon.
