    Hi Nahdi

    WordPress doesn’t accept SVG uploads by default. You’ll need to first try using a plugin like this:

    Hi, I Work Here

    Is this the image you’d like to use as your logo?

    It looks a little big. There is a lot of transparent space around the logo.

    When using a SVG in an image tag which is what is happening here, we need to set the dimensions. At the bottom of your Custom CSS you’ll find:

    #masthead .hgroup .logo img {
    	height: auto;
      max-width: 1010px;
    }
    

    Add width: to that and the SVG will appear:

    #masthead .hgroup .logo img {
    	height: auto;
      max-width: 1010px;
    width: 1010px;
    }
    

    You’ll then see the challenge with the SVG being so big.

    dear Andrew, I just cant get the logo big enough without having a big space around it. Is there any solution to have the
    previous proportion I used to have on my logo? If not please help me with another way. I need to have a text logo with
    the same appearance as my logo not picture of a text(not gif or jpg files)

    Hi, I Work Here

    If you go to Media and click on your logo, the space appears to be coming from the SVG itself. Can you check that out perhaps?

  9. 8 years, 11 months ago Nahdi Gefariann

    I know what you mean. you mean I cant do what I want through svg file. So can you help me to have my logo like before using a text ? (not image).

    Hi, I Work Here

    Sure. The challenge was that a logo was set at Appearance > Customize > Site Title and Logo using Jetpack AND at Appearance > Theme Settings > Logo. I’ve resolved.

    Dear Andrew, I didn’t mean to put my site title as my logo. Off course this is the proportion I mean. Pleas help me to
    put “Oven Star The oven cleaning specialist” as my logo like I used to have it. in my previous logo you see what I had in the past. “Oven Star” big size and “The oven cleaning specialist small” But I had the image version of it. That’s why I tried SVG. Because I want “Oven Star The oven cleaning specialist” as a text logo not an image. And I want my “Oven Star” with yellow srtoke as you can see in my SVG file. Can you help me with that?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Sorry about that.

    Are you running into problems re-adding your image logo? That can be done from Appearance > Theme Settings > Logo. Did you run into a problem adding your previous logo back?

  13. 8 years, 10 months ago Nahdi Gefariann

    All I need is to have “Oven Star The oven cleaning specialist” as my logo. will you be able to do it for me? I want it as a text not as image. I want the first two words big”Oven Star” and next 4 words small “The oven cleaning specialist” and I made it previously using SVG file but as you said SVG files have a big gap around them. so Is there any solution? I repeat again I only want the first two words big size “Oven Star” and next 4 words small “The oven cleaning specialist” . I also repeat agin: I don’t want an image logo. I want my logo as text

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for explaining.

    The site title is a single line. If you want to change the size of the site title text or the font we can certainly assist with that.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Here is the Custom CSS rule for the site title if you’d like to go without a logo but edit the display of the site title text:

    /* Site Title */
    
    header#masthead .hgroup h1 {
    	color: #666666;
    	font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    	font-size: 36px;
    }

    Dear Andrew, it is very clear I am only asking about my logo. I don’t want my site tite get changed as In seo I want it as it is. It is very simple. I just want my logo be a text. I want to create a logo image that shows up as a text like svg and the only reason is because SEO will read my logo if it is a text not an image like gif or jpeg. I was happy with my gif logo but it wasn’t readable for SEO. I want the same logo I used to have in the format of a file which supports text. SVG is good but
    the gap around it doesn’t let me to have it as the right size. I was wondering can you give me codes to get rid of the gaps around svg file? if not then is there any other way I set my logo image as a readable text for SEO?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Unfortunately, I haven’t worked with SVG’s much. The correct preparation of your SVG logo so it is the correct size would need to happen on your side. On the whole this isn’t a task I’ve ever looked into so I don’t know of any other way to achieve the described task.

    Ok thanks anyway Andrew

    Hi, I Work Here

    Sorry we couldn’t assist further. If anything else comes up, let me know.
