Title: Adding a logo image to header? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Adding a logo image to header? * Resolved [speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) * (@speedyp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/) * I already have a working solution to this, but I’m pushing my luck and looking for a more elegant / alternative method. * Suppose I have a div as an image placehoder in my theme’s header class=”logo”– how can I allow a user to add their own image, via the wp media uploader, or in a remote location such as Flickr etc? Is it even possible? * And as this is a multisite, how can I define a path to the logo div background that will work with all the subsites? Or allow a user to define their own path without editing of the header.php??? * Thanks Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925870) * Generally you would want to edit your theme to do what TwentyEleven and TwentyTen do – You can upload your own header image per site 🙂 * Thread Starter [speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) * (@speedyp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925872) * Hmmm…. edit my themes to do what twentyeleven does… OK, I’ll just do that then, no problem 🙂 * Except the documentation on that is so sketchy (and over my head) at the moment. * Seriously, I already have the background & header image sorted. I’m 99% there. It’s only the extra “logo” bit that’s sticking me. * I even tried adding a nextgen gallery just to hold a single image! Yes, it worked, but the refresh on every page load spoils the experience. * So I’d like to re-state my question: I have a logo div placeholder. How can I create a simple input field or some other method to allow users to fill in the src address for their own image??? * Cheers * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925886) * It’s not exactly ‘simple’ and there in lies the problem. This is a theme question, however, and you’d be best off asking it in the Theme section (not my forte, alas, I can tweak ’em, but I’m not the uber best at writing them). * Read this: [http://make.wordpress.org/themes/2012/04/06/updating-custom-backgrounds-and-custom-headers-for-wordpress-3-4/](http://make.wordpress.org/themes/2012/04/06/updating-custom-backgrounds-and-custom-headers-for-wordpress-3-4/) * That may get you started 🙂 If you;d like, I can move this to the theme section for you. * Thread Starter [speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) * (@speedyp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925887) * Thanks Mika * Trying to get rid of me eh?… * Yeah, feel free to move this if you think I’ll get a helpful response there – just thought, you know, multisite.. must be a common problem that has been solved already. * Maybe I’m at the cutting edge of wp multisite, wanting users to add their own logos & such nonsense 🙂 * Just to say again – I’m OK for background & header changes. Just need a method for users to input their own foreground logo image. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925888) * Nah, just wanting you to get the best support! 😀 * > Maybe I’m at the cutting edge of wp multisite, wanting users to add their own > logos & such nonsense 🙂 * Not really, I use Genesis and DevPress themes, and I do that all the time with their themes. Which is why I know it’s a theme thing and less a Multisite 😀 * Thread Starter [speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) * (@speedyp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925894) * …………….. busy looking up Genesis & DevPress………………. * Thread Starter [speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) * (@speedyp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925895) * “Genesis are an English rock band that formed in 1967. The band currently consists of its three longest-tenured members – Tony Banks (keyboards) and Mike Rutherford( bass, guitar), who were founding members; and Phil Collins (vocals, drums), who first joined in 1970. Past members Peter Gabriel (vocals, flute), Steve Hackett( guitar) and Anthony Phillips (guitar), also played major roles in the band in its early years. Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time, with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide.[1]” * 🙂 * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925899) * [http://www.studiopress.com/](http://www.studiopress.com/) 🙂 their hallmark theme is called Gensis. * Thread Starter [speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) * (@speedyp) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-logo-image-to-header/#post-2925901) * > [http://www.studiopress.com/](http://www.studiopress.com/) 🙂 their hallmark > theme is called Gensis. * I know that, Mika. * Well, so much for the best support from the themes crowd… 🙂 * Happy ending though, a nice guy on the wpmu Dev boards steered me towards this excellent tut: [http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/how-to-integrate-the-wordpress-media-uploader-in-theme-and-plugin-options/](http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/how-to-integrate-the-wordpress-media-uploader-in-theme-and-plugin-options/) * I now have a shiny new “upload your logo” button in the wp appearance menu!
