Title: Add logo (header) Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Add logo (header) * [KKBrainchild](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kkbrainchild/) * (@kkbrainchild) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-logo-header-1/) * _[ Moderator note: instead of using blockquote please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]_ * Hi there! * I am using a very simple & basic theme & the folder itself isn’t so stuffed like we would expect or know it already from WordPress Themes. However – So at the moment I am very keen about setting up my own homepage as it’s really fascinating me and I have so much fun to do it! To understand how the things work, what to do and what is all possible. I am really amazed to code and write CSS yada yada 😀 I just tell this because then no one has to ask me or make the suggestion to use a theme which maybe could fit my requirements better. BUT that’s the thing: If I use a perfect one, it’s too easy. No fun – Nothing to learn… So I chose I theme which I like (color etc.) and swore myself to set it completly up on my own, like I want AND I swore also that I won’t give up until I got what I wanted 😀 So no “wish” on my to-do-list will be crossed or changed just because I am may not able to do so – I will fight until I got it 😀 * So let’s start: In my theme is neither in the header.php nor in the CSS of the theme a paragraph that reads like * ```

/">

``` * so it’s not possible for me just to replace this code to * ```

/">IMAGE TEXT.SITE NAME TITLE

``` * I tried just to add this^^ code to my CSS (of the theme) and in the header.php. But nothing happens – oh yeah, a white bulk on the right hand of the website, that’s what happens… * I only have * ``` <?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo('name'); } ``` * in the header.php but obviously it’s not the correct one to replace (?). * So now my header.php reads like this (the bolded I added to get a logo image on my hp …): * ``` <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> <title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo('name'); } elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title(); } elseif (is_page() ) { bloginfo('name'); echo ': '; single_post_title(); } else { wp_title('',true); } ?>
'); else echo( '
');?>">'); else echo( '
'); */?>

I added this code to my header.php but nothing appears on the website … ?? why ?? * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-logo-header-1/#post-2921051) * please post a link to your site to illustrate the problem. * what is the exact problem? does the logo image show? or not? and if, does it show on all pages? or what? * where is your logo image saved? * — you have two lines with ‘logo’ in your header code: * ``` ">KK Brainchild
``` * (this is broken, because you did not mark the code when you were posting it) this has a relative image url and might therefore fail. * and: * ```

``` * two problems here: – the ‘squint’ double quotes (from copy/paste from a text source) which should be `style="display:none;"` and the relative path again. * Thread Starter [KKBrainchild](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kkbrainchild/) * (@kkbrainchild) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-logo-header-1/#post-2921058) * kkbrainchild.hostingsociety.com/wordpress – I tried to post it but it didn’t work. However. * The problem is that even after adding the code * ``` ``` * to the header.php anyway nothing appears on the site… Why? * My header.php looks like this * ``` > <?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo('name'); } elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title(); } elseif (is_page() ) { bloginfo('name'); echo ': '; single_post_title(); } else { wp_title('',true); } ?> ---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
