I am trying to eliminate the logo I placed in the site theme in or near the header area (I'm changing the company name). Can anyone please help me find the code page where I'd be most likely to find it? The site is: affordablewebsitesdenverllc.com. Thanks.

Hi Dave,

Dashboard--> Appearance --> Editor --> Stylesheet (style.css) find this code

.art-header {
border: 1px solid transparent;
margin: 10px auto 0px;
height: 100px;
background-image: url("images/header.png");
background-position: 0px 0px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: relative;
width: 900px;
z-index: auto !important;
}

and remove:

background-image: url("images/header.png");

or upload ( FTP conection ) to images folder ( wp-content/themes/AFWD009/images ) other logo with same name ( header ), extension ( .png ), dimension ( 900px × 100px - http://affordablewebsitesdenverllc.com/wp-content/themes/AFWD009/images/header.png)...

Since this is a fairly fresh thread and it's a topic I normally have issues with - thought I'd jump in and ask a similar, related question. I'm not real fluent with Artisteer yet, and still learning some of the very basics. Occasionally, when using Artisteer to create my template, I'll put a jpg header in. Later, when I want to change it, I'm going back into Artisteer, opening my template, changing it, saving the new template, and uploading to WordPress as a new theme.

Could this step be completely shrunk down to simply uploading a replacement jpg (same name, for simplicity sake) to the style.css file via FTP? If the answer is yes, is the style.css located in various folders that all have to be changed?

Thanks to all who take the time to respond to questions on this, and all, user forums. The help is much appreciated!

*** Can't edit my previous post, but I should clarify -- replace the header.jpg image in the appropriate folder *** Disregard the part about the style.css file - I guess I was typing faster than I was thinking...

This method works but I was looking a way to make the changes through the Theme Options, simply upload the file and save. I would like to see this method instead of dealing with codes and FTP. After all, the logo and header is one of the most important part designing the site made. If there is another way please let me know.

-Thank you.

I have not done it, however looking at the options that wp-tuxedo from wp-themecity.com provides I think you can change headers and logos on the live site at will

A far easier solution is to use a widget for the logo... simply create a CSS rule for the logo's placement, then use that css rule in a widget for that image. That way you don't need a plugin or a relatively expensive addon like tuxedo ...

And yes, alternatively, you could simply ftp a file with the same name to the appropriate theme folder (just make sure it is the same size and file type... ie JPG or PNG.
