I’m unable to change the ja_sulfur default logo.

I tried editing the background url line in the template.css file:

h1.logo a {
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;
display: block;
height: 73px;
width: 195px;
}

I first tried changing the logo.png reference to point to my own logo.jpg which I placed in the templates images directory. I also tried totally removing the background url line so that no image is designated at all.

Still, I get the ja_sulfur.png file being displayed even after I’ve cleared both joomla’s cache and the browser cache.

I even did a full template uninstall/re-install with the same results and repeated the above steps.

Is the logo.png file hard-coded somewhere else?

Thanks for any help to solve this. — Rik

Why not just edit the images/logo.png file to your own image?

Phill:

Thanks, but that doesn’t help either.

For testing purposes, I even totally deleted the images/logo.png file. It’s no longer in the directory. Yet, it still displays.

I’ve placed my own logo.jpg file there and changed the template.css file line to:

background: url(../images/logo.jpg);

I still get displayed the original ja_sulfur png file which isn’t in the directory.

I can change the template.css line to “xxxbackground: url(../images/logo.jpg);” and the logo no longer displays (as it properly shouldn’t).

I’ve checked again that joomla cache is off, I’ve manually cleared the joomla cache, I’ve manually cleared my firefox browser cache, and I’ve even tried other browsers on another PC. I still get the logo.png file displayed which is totally deleted.

I’m totally perplexed!

Any other ideas? Thanks. — Rik

Here is the solution I found in another the forum for a totally different template (ja_opal):

<blockquote>I would just add that if there is a theme that is selected, the logo will need to be changed in that theme’s directory. For instance, there is a reference to the logo in template.css and blue.css. If blue.css is active, for instance, be sure to change the logo in templates/ja_opal/images/blue/logo.png. The css of a specific theme will override the template.css.</blockquote>

I could have edited the theme.css file ad nauseum and cleared multiple caches to no effect. I’m surprised no one could advise that you need to dig further down the directory tree to additional css files and additional logo files for each color theme. In my case, using the orange theme I had to change:

/ja-sulfur/css/colors/orange.css
/ja-sulfur/images/orange/logo.jpg

Apparently, you need to change subdirectory css/image files for each color instead!

Solved. — Rik

Change the image of the logo currently showing in the folder belonging to the color settings in your template. are you using the default color function or another color? that is where the logo will need to go. Are you using Firefox and the firebug tool extension to find the source template and design issues?
