Using a logo image in a Wordpress blog

Question

Hello,

In the code below, I am using an image (images/newlogo.PNG) for a logo. I am trying to add the same logo to a Wordpress blog, but Wordpress can't seem to find the logo. Any idea where I should put the image so that Wordpress can find it?

Thanks in advance,

John

<div class="newlogo">
    <a href="index.php">
        <img src="images/newlogo.PNG" alt="Books" border="0"/>
    </a>
</div>

Answer 1

If you use an 'absolute' path (relative to the server) like this:

<img src="/images/newlogo.PNG" alt="Books" border="0"/>

You just need to put the image in the images folder in the root of the server

Answer 2

I think you need to have the file in the wp-content folder.

Answer 3

My experiece with WordPress is many times you need the full path for images called outside of the style sheet, because your full path is something like username/public_html/wordpresshere

Best to put images in your theme so they stay put whn you change themes or go along when you download/backup themes

So, hardcode your full path from your URL, or:

Use this to return site URL:

<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/themes/default/images/newlogo.png


Or this to return the current template directory:

<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/newlogo.png



Like this:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/newlogo.PNG" alt="Books" border="0"/>
