How to add replace a logo with text

Business Card is:

https://maureenvetoslater.com/wp-content/themes/BusinessCard/images/logo.png

It is 406×55 pixels. The easiest way to replace it is to create a new image with the same name and dimensions and upload it via FTP to replace the old image.

if you are good with graphic programs, follow the idea of @ss_minnow, and generate a transparent png graphi with just your name.

otherwise, replace the code that you got told
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" id="logo" alt="" />

with this:

<h1 class="title">Maureen Veto Slater</h1>

and in style.css of your theme, you could add:

h1.title {
color:#eee;
font-size:4.5em;
font-style:italic;
margin-top:150px;
margin-left:20px;
}

these styles are only to give you an idea how you could style the title.

Uh oh….
I tried what alchymyth said to replace the code with my name and now my name floats above and says, “Maureen Veto Slater” id=”logo” alt=”” />”

I need to change it back to business card but I’ll leave it (for a bit) for you to see if you’re still there. Maybe I removed the wrong one. Is it possible (if I find the correct one) to simply text my name in?

I have no idea how to do what SS_Minnow is suggesting but that sounds like the best solution. How do I create an image that would work? Is there a logo service that can do this?

I’m soooooo newbie and appreciate your understanding!!

Also, are there people for hire that can do these tweaks for me?

Would it benefit me to purchase a program to generate this? A quick google search on the generate a transparent png graphi
took me to Graphic Converter for MAC. I’ll purchase if it’s something that will make life easier.

you missed to replace the code that broke into the second line;

this whole code – all of it –

<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" id="logo" alt="" />

has to be replaced with this:

<h1 class="title">Maureen Veto Slater</h1>

as for making a transparent png – there are free programs available, for instance GIMP

Ah….
But it’s still at the top: https://maureenvetoslater.com/
How do I get it to look like the template was designed: https://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/BusinessCard/

I’ll check out GIMP, thanks!

the positon and other properties of your name can be controlled, if you add a new style to style.css of your theme:

h1.title {
color:#eee;
font-size:4.5em;
font-style:italic;
margin-top:150px;
margin-left:20px;
}

(as i have mentioned before)

you mau need to adjust the number values and styles.
the meaning of the individual styles can be found in https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

smile-slow learner.

I created a test logo using GIMP, uploaded to media. I am using cyberduck ftp. I dropped into theme but not directly into header.php because it doesn’t open that file.

I can’t find “testlogo” in my wp editor.

this is the location of the existing logo:

https://maureenvetoslater.com/wp-content/themes/BusinessCard/images/logo.png

this means you would drop the image into the /images folder of your theme.

if you upload an image (406 * 55 px) with the same name to the same location, it should show in the same position on your site.

(when i change logo images, i use to download the old logo, and change it in a graphic editor and upload it again – this way the size of the image stays the same)

It worked! I can’t believe it, thank you so much!!! I am in shock. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
