I am new to all of this.

I am trying to replace the default Ja Ores logo at the top of my page with a custom template logo.

I have done my research but i think my ignorance is making me miss a step. I am working with joomla and filezilla.

In the joomla backend i went into file manager and changed it to FTP mode (not sure if that is needed)

i then opened filezilla and uploaded my new logo by overwriting the file httpdocs/templates/ja_ores/images/logo.png

the upload and overwrite was successful

i then went into extentions>template manager>Ja Ores and changed the logo type from “text” to “image”

i hit apply and that didnt work.

I went back into the files manager and found the logo.png file. I viewed it and it is the custom logo i uploaded.

Then with logo.png highlighted in the file manager i clicked the upload button (thinking that’s what i missed) and checked the page again with no avail.

Obviously i am missing a very novice step and maybe i am overwriting the file in the wrong way.

I would also like to note that under the parameters section of the joomla template editor is says “The parameter file /templates/ja_ores/params.ini is unwritable!” maybe that is my problem?

any help would be appreciated. Thank you

i should also note that the “params.ini” file in the templates/ja_ores directory permissions are 555.

I change them to 777 and go to template and it now says that the parameters are writable but as soon as i change from text to image it says they are unwritable again.

I go back to the params.ini file again and it automatically changes back to 555.

I am assuming this is the root of my problem making it impossible for me to change the logo.png file but when i go to http://bookobrothers.com/templates/ja_ores/images/logo.png the logo that i want appears.

when i initially set up the site i was told i needed to do something with phpmyadmin to overwrite any files but i am not sure what phpmyadmin is or how to access it.

An easy mistake. You are using the blue varient of the theme so you need to edit the logo.png in the templates>ja_ores>images>blue>logo.png

There is a different version of the logo for different colour variations.

Hi, to change the logo I followed these steps:

Went to the templates>ja_ores>images>blue>logo.png
Renamed the existing logo to logoold.png (then actually went ahead and deleted the logo)
Uploaded the new logo to templates>ja_ores>images>light-blue>logo.png

Reloaded the page and the oldoriginal logo still shows up. I cleared the cache for all the browsers on my computer and even went to 2 different computers. The old logo is still showing up. Next, I went into the template manager and changed the logo to “text”. Entered the word “Test” and then reloaded the browsers. That worked fine. However, when I changed the setting back to “Image”, the oldoriginal logo still comes up. Not the logo that I changed it to.

I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to get my custom logo loaded.

You have 2 different folders mentioned above, one in blue and one in light-blue?

If you would PM me a super admin logon, ftp details, details of where your new logo is and a link back to this thread I will take a look and make the edits for you.
