Title: Using Child Theme Logo Image Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Using Child Theme Logo Image * [sallykodesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sallykodesign/) * (@sallykodesign) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-child-theme-logo-image/) * I’m trying to use a child-theme for Voltata. When I activate the child theme, I can’t seem to get my logo to appear. Only the Title appears. How can I fix this?

Maybe if your could share a link to the site. * Kind regards, Simon * [gripu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gripu/) * (@gripu) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-child-theme-logo-image/#post-7302167) * Hi, I have the same problem. I use a child theme since beginning and after I have updated the parents theme and WP 4.5.1, my logo has disappeared. In the backend, I can see the logo, but it doesn’t show in the frontend.

I have all plugins disabled, and this also doesn’t changed anything. I see the logo in the backend in “Voltata Display Options” tab, but it is not shown on the page. Here a [ to my site.](http://www.fairfriends-labradors.de/) * Theme Author [Sultenhest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sultenhest/) * (@sultenhest) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-child-theme-logo-image/#post-7302170) * Hello again, * That is because you should **not** use the logo upload found in the “Voltata Display Options” tab any longer. It will be removed completely in one of the next Voltata updates. * Since WordPress 4.5, WordPress offers their own logo uploader, which is wiser to use instead of any custom build one(like the one in the “Voltata Display Options” tab). To use this uploader: * 1. Head into the Customizer 2. When you’re in the Customizer you’ll see all the different tabs called: “Site Identity”, “General Color Settings”, “Voltata Display Options” ect., click on the one that says “**Site Identity**“ 3. Now the first option, right above the “_Site Title_“, is called _Logo_ and is used for uploading a logo. Use this logo upload instead of the one that i made for the theme. It works in exactly the same way as the one under the “Voltata Display Options” tab. * If you’re still in doubt, watch [this](https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman/) short video about the release of WordPress 4.5. It also has a section called ** Custom Logos** which explains how to upload logos using the new version of WordPress. * Again thanks for using Voltata, feel free to write here if you’re still having any troubles. * Kind regards, Simon * [gripu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gripu/) * (@gripu) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-child-theme-logo-image/#post-7302171) * Thank you Simon. Now it works :-). But I changed size of the logo in the function. php of the parent theme, because my logo is larger. I hope, with the next voltata update, the logo can use with flexible size ;-). Thank you for the excellent support !!!!!! * Theme Author [Sultenhest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sultenhest/) * (@sultenhest) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-child-theme-logo-image/#post-7302172) * Hello, * Great! I will keep that i mind for future versions of Voltata. No problem at all. * Kind regards, Simon Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Using Child Theme Logo Image’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/voltata/1.2.1/screenshot.png) * voltata * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/voltata/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/voltata/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/voltata/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/voltata/reviews/) ## Tags * [child](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/child/) * [child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/child-theme/) * [childtheme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/childtheme/) * [logo](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/logo/) * 7 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Sultenhest](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sultenhest/) * Last activity: [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-child-theme-logo-image/#post-7302172) * Status: not resolved
