    I would like to change the wp-logo.png image in the admin-bar to the logo of the site I am building. I am a newbie, but am familiar with php and have access in cpanel to the folders and files for editing. I have found the function in wp-includes/admin-bar.php,

    function wp_admin_bar_wp_menu( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
    ‘id’ => ‘wp-logo’,
    ‘title’ => ‘<span class=”ab-icon”></span>’,
    ‘href’ => self_admin_url( ‘about.php’ ),
    ‘meta’ => array(
    ‘title’ => __(‘About WordPress’),
    ),
    ) ); etc, etc.
    And, I know where the logo is located in the images folder, but I can’t figure out where the <img> tag is that calls for the logo image so that I can change the image to the company’s logo instead of the wp logo. Please help.

    Add custom admin logo:

    function custom_admin_logo() {
    echo '
        <style type="text/css">
            #header-logo { background-image: url('.get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/images/logo.png) !important; }
        </style>
    ';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_logo');

    add it to your theme’s functions.php file.

    Ok, I added the function, but I’m not sure what to do now. Where do I actually change the logo?

    have you uploaded logo.png into your theme’s “images” folder?

    You can also use the White Label CMS plugin to change that logo and other aspects of the Dashboard: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/white-label-cms/

    Thanks. I’ve downloaded the white label plugin and try it out. It looks like exactly what I need.
