I wanted to put my own logo into the Utahia II template.

I went into the HTML via the template manager and changed the logo name
(and uploaded my logo.jpg to the images folder inside the template folder).
The logo is not displaying on my front page.

When I do View =>Source in the IE browser, the logo is:
logo.jpg.jpg (so of course it is not found to display)
even tho it is just logo.jpg when I look at the HTML in the Template Manager.

What am I doing wrong?

My site is: http://worryfreehelp.com/home/

Thank you in advance for your help!

Just a thought.
Try not pointing the html to logo.jpg. Try pointing it to logo without the .jpg
Good luck

Silly as it seems, it worked to take off the JPG extension.

Can anyone tell me why it works?

What if I had a GIF? Would I have to convert it to a JPG, while leaving off the extension?

I am pretty sure that the .jpg is coded into the index.php and/or css file. If you want to change it to a gif, search the index.php code, and/or the css for the template, and replace the .jpg extension with .gif

Or you could just convert your .gif to a .jpg

Anyway, I’m glad it worked for you 🙂

Actually, I just took a look at your site again. Your logo does not blend well with the header background. Are you aware of this?
You may want to re-do the logo using the source file that comes with the template, or convert the .jpg to a 24 bit .png with transparancy.
If you do convert it to a .png you will have to find the code I mentioned and change the .jpg to .png.
I am pretty sure that that template has a .png fix which will display transparant .png’s correctly in older browsers (namely IE6)

Line 125 in the index.php file:
<div id="logo">
<a href="index.php">
<img src="<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/logo-<?php echo $ja_color; ?>.jpg" alt="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>" />
</a>
</div>
</div>
<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
