Hey guys I tried to solve this problem on my own but alas, my technical expertise has run out.
I created a logo for my website and was wondering how to add it onto the tit
As freedomsekr mentioned, what you want is a favicon. I use this site:
favicon.co.uk
It's quick, it's easy, & best of all.....ITS FREE! My advice would be to give it a shot.
Wierd. For some reason, that link goes someplace else. Try this one:
http://favicon.co.uk
Sorry about that!
Hey Ryan, I'm going to run into this problem.
I can produce graphics for print, though flexibility on the web is different. Which is why I am trying to learn markup (& dreamweaver). Not progressing well though, & I think about 80% of sites use CMS's now anyhow.
I want to have the flexibility of HTML & CSS to build visual appealing sites. Though WordPress is just so much easier than getting my head around markup. Some people find it easy as - not me. I will persist though, it's kinda crucial to my intended niche :/
Great logo btw
I think you have to save the image in your gallery and insert it into the widget for header. Widgets are in your back office or dashboard.
Hi Ryan,
Very nice logo! I'm not really sure how you add the logo to the title of your website yet, that's something I need to do also. Once I get a logo that is, lol.
I think you're talking about a favicon when you mention the logo in the opened tabs at the top of your browser. This is another thing that I must do yet, but I did take a peek at a tutorial here on adding a favicon that I think would be helpful. Here it is https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-easily-create-a-favicon-for-your-wordpress-site
If you type in favicon in the search bar above there's some more that show up too. Hope that helps and let me know how it goes. Like I said, I still have to do this, so I'm hoping that will work for you. Good luck! -Sherry
Thanks Sherry! Everyone jumped on this very quickly and I already updated my favicon. Honestly I had no idea what a favicon was previous to this discussion.
Look here how you change the favicon, the one on the tabs. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/changing-the-favicon-of-your-website
It depends on your theme that you are using and whether the theme has custom logo edits. Some themes do and instruct you with suggested dimensions. The tab with image you are referring to is called a Favicon. There is a plugin that will insert your favicon image for you, but you may need to re-size the dimensions.
Ahhhh Thanks! I have seen the Favicon plugin but wasn't familiar with the vocabulary. Thanks that was definitely the more important issue!
I did not know this. Thanks for the information, I was looking for a solution for this "little problem" too, but as Ryan-Ibara I did not know how it was called!

I'm working on a logo as well. So any info you get I would certainly appreciate you letting me in on it.
Of course! Everyone pretty much covered how to incorporate your logo, but if you are asking how I designed my logo I'd be happy to help you out!

Hey guys I looked around WA on how to add a forum to my site and couldn't find anything. Anyone know how to add a forum on Wordpress?
Great Discussion Ryan. Yesterday I downloaded bbPress which is, so they say made by the developers of wordpress.
Heres my review
1. Easy to install
2. Easy to create a forum
3. Formatting seems a little painful. You will need to find an app to take care of the CSS stuff. If you know CSS then you can edit it yourself.
4. There is a support site to help you with all aspects of it.
I downloaded it from here http://bbpress.org/ and then uploaded the zip file via the add new plugin.
Looks like there will be a learning curve to actually get this to look the way you want.
The documentation for the plugin is handy guide to getting setup.
I am not 100% on if I will stay with this forum as it will depend on how easy it is to format to the way I want it.
I am testing this on a non production site.
Regards James
I see mark gave you A great place to find one ---You can google search --- ( fourm+ for wordpress ) and find others ---I hope anyway !!!
Hi Ryan - I've not used a WP one, but there are many you could have a look at here: http://wordpresshostingreview.net/top-5-wordpress-forum-plugins/ as a start.
I hope this helps?
All the best, Mark
