I have had specialists help me with the layout so I don’t want to have to start from scratch and re=upload the downloaded theme! * Please help this 16 year old resolve his issue – all I wanna do is blog to the world and I want to resolve this! * P.S. This is the current theme coding for the header in the stylesheet.css – what should I be changing and with what? * _[CSS moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).

But how do I do either of those things – I’m a novice with coding and wordpress – sorry! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-logo-in-header/#post-2546419) * [CSS Tutorials](http://www.w3schools.com/css/) [Learning CSS](http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning) * Thread Starter [themusicmonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themusicmonkey/) * (@themusicmonkey) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-logo-in-header/#post-2546424) * is there anything more specific to my coding? * [shanafourde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanafourde/) * (@shanafourde) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-logo-in-header/#post-2546458) * images/pixdesign_logo.png is most likely in the folder: wp-content\themes\(your theme)\images You need ftp access to overwrite that image. * Alternatively, you can change your style.css by going into the admin section of your site Appearance>Editor and then make sure style.css is selected. There you could for example point #logo to a different image that you have uploaded to the library. * You really should look at the links that Esmi has given you. It is really important that you have a basic understanding of CSS if you plan on modifying your theme yourself. * Thread Starter [themusicmonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themusicmonkey/) * (@themusicmonkey) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-logo-in-header/#post-2546463) * when I go into my FTP client – via network solutions who are my hosting partner– there is no option on the left hand side for the ‘Wp_content’ folder. How else can I access this? * Alternatively, how do I point another image to the library? The theme I use was downloaded and then re-uploaded so is that a problem? * Thanks for all your help so far * [shanafourde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanafourde/) * (@shanafourde) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-logo-in-header/#post-2546489) * Upload another image to the library. Copy the full path to the image that you just uploaded. * Then you need to change your style.css by going into the admin section of your site Appearance>Editor and then make sure style.css is selected. Find this point in the CSS. * #logo a{ background: url(images/pixdesign_logo.png) no-repeat right top; height: 120px; width:225px; display: block; outline: none; text-indent: -9999px; } * take out “images/pixdesign_logo.png” and put in the path to your new image. * You might want to change the height & width as well so it matches your image. * Thread Starter [themusicmonkey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themusicmonkey/) * (@themusicmonkey) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-logo-in-header/#post-2546513) * Thanks this has proved very helpful.
