Wordpress genesis theme - changing the logo from text to graphic

wordpress

Solution

Although I haven't done this on the default Genesis theme, I have replaced the main headline text with just a logo. I posted how I did it on the Genesis Forum, but here it is.

If you want to keep the rest of the genesis_do_header hook in place, you can just replace the default genesis_do_header using the child theme's functions.php.

Open up functions.php and add the following:

// Replace header hook to include logo 
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' ); 
add_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_new_header' ); 
function genesis_do_new_header() { 
    echo '<div id="title-area"><img src="your/logo/image.jpg" alt="Site Logo" />'; 
    do_action( 'genesis_site_title' ); 
    do_action( 'genesis_site_description' ); 
    echo '</div><!-- end #title-area -->'; 
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header-right' ) || has_action( 'genesis_header_right' ) ) { 
        echo '<div class="widget-area">'; 
        do_action( 'genesis_header_right' ); 
        dynamic_sidebar( 'header-right' ); 
        echo '</div><!-- end .widget-area -->'; 
    } 
}

You can then style the image with your CSS in the following fashion:

#title-area img {
    float:left;
}

You should now see your logo floated to the left of your site title. You may have to tweak some things, as the themes aren't identical, but let me know how this works for you.

Problem

I'm using the vanilla Geneis theme with no child, but I cannot find where the logo should reside. I can change the favicon no worries, but I see no logo file present and I see no advice on how to add to the "parent" theme - I'm not using a child. Is there a way to add a logo. I have changed the settings in wordpress for a logo rather than text (in the header settings). Any ideas?
