Hi

You should override the logo.png image in this folder templatesja_minisiteimages

i cannot see your site at that address but only a cpanel login on goDaddy hosting

Interesting. Let me look into it, it’s weird it’s not showing up.

Thanks for the info by the way, but where exactly do I find that file? (still learning web dev)

<blockquote>but where exactly do I find that file</blockquote>

templatesja_minisiteimageslogo.png if you are using the default theme

If instead you applied a theme ( orange for example ) then you should check in

templatesja_minisitethemesorangeimageslogo.png and override your image that should have dimensions 115×63 px

Hi

It is located where your website is located

Server side if you published your website on an hosted space ( http://www.vancollc.info )
On your pc if you are working on localhost ( virtual server with xampp )

I really appreciate the help, I just can’t for the life of me find a way to access those files… is it through joomla! itself or is there another way?

also: http://www.vancollc.info/portal

that should give you access to my site.

You should access these files via ftp client

Them are hosted on your webspace ( where website is installed )
So you should have an ftp access for your account , login with it into your folder ( public-html) and change the minisite logo accessing the folder i suggested above and upload your new image

If you are having problems with it send me via Private Message the ftp account to your website and your logo file and i will update it for you

actually it is 115 x 63 so you should upload your image with that dimensions

But you can change dimensions managing them through the file template.css located in your orange theme /css folder

Find these lines

h1.logo { height: 63px; width: 115px; }

h1.logo a {
background: url(../images/logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
display: block;
height: 63px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 115px;
}

So I managed to change the size of the logo accepted to 300×96. The problem I’ve now run into is that my logo fits into the my Home Portal tab but one I switch to another menu item (like my image gallery) the logo size reverts back to the default size:
