custom logo for penscratch

  • Hi!

    I’m using “penscratch” for my blog on wordpress.com and I love it, now I’m moving to a self-hosted blog, but with www.ads-software.com and the theme doesn’t offer the option for a custom logo on top anymore, which is very important for my blog.

    At wordpress.com I have a logo 100x100px on top of the blog, then the menu and underneath the header and I would need help to get this done with wordpress.com,
    but I don’t want to use a plugin like jetpack, etc. for that issue.
    Is there a simple way to solve this with css? If yes, where and how exactly do I have to change the code?

    This is my old blog on wordpress.com, and the new, self hosted site, should look like it.

    Thanks a lot for your support!!
    Best wishes from Tyrol/Austria.

  • It looks like the Penscratch theme does support Jetpack’s Site Logo module. Just install Jetpack and you should be able to use a custom logo just like you did on WordPress.com.

    Hi Leland! Thanks for your quick response, but I would like to find a solution without using Jetpack for it.

    You could also wait until WordPress 4.5 is released (or take your chances with a beta) which has its own built-in Custom Logo feature.

    More information on implementing the core Custom Logo feature into your theme can be found on the Make WordPress Core blog.

    Something like this should give you a similar effect:

    .site-branding {
    background: url("https://barfussimnovember.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/header-logo-federn_weiss_100.jpg") no-repeat;
    height: 100px;
    width: 100px;
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-indent: -9999px
}

    Replace the path to your image with your self-hosted image path.

    Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten every time the theme is updated to the latest version. You can use a custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.

    You could also wait until WordPress 4.5 is released (or take your chances with a beta) which has its own built-in Custom Logo feature.

    This is a theme-dependent feature, so theme developers will need to activate support for Core’s new logo feature within the theme.
