Custom logo in WordPress

Banner for tutorial on how to add, remove, or change logo in WordPress

WordPress comes with a functionality to add a custom logo without a need to install any additional plugins.

While WordPress has a native feature for uploading, changing, or removing a custom logo, it’s important to note that not all themes support this functionality.

At Themes Harbor, we prioritize utilizing the native WordPress features and following the platform’s coding standards in all of our professional themes for WordPress.

As a result, our themes fully support the native options for custom logos, providing a seamless experience for our users.

However, it is possible to hide the site title and tagline by unchecking the Display Site Title and Tagline box.
