Welcome to another egg-citing tutorial by your favorite feathered friend, DomainRooster! Today, we’re going to show you how to change the logo URL link for any WordPress theme. If you’re tired of the default logo link directing users to your website’s homepage, this tutorial is for you! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be able to customize your logo URL link in no time.
Step 1: Access the WordPress Customizer The first step is to access the WordPress Customizer. To do this, log in to your WordPress dashboard and click on “Appearance” and then “Customize.”
Step 2: Locate the Logo Section Once you’re in the Customizer, look for the “Logo” section. Depending on your WordPress theme, this section may be located in a different spot, but it should be easy to find. In most cases, you’ll find it under the “Site Identity” tab.
Step 3: Add Your Custom URL Now it’s time to add your custom URL. Locate the “Logo URL” field and replace the default link with your desired link. This can be any URL you want, such as a landing page, product page, or social media profile.
Step 4: Save Your Changes After you’ve added your custom URL, make sure to save your changes. You can do this by clicking the “Save & Publish” button at the top of the Customizer screen.
Step 5: Check Your Website Once you’ve saved your changes, go ahead and check your website to make sure the logo URL link is directing users to the correct page. If everything looks good, congratulations! You’ve successfully customized your logo URL link.
If the logo link is not in the customizer section, don’t worry! There are still a few ways to change it.
One way is to use a plugin. There are many free and paid plugins available in the WordPress repository that allow you to customize your logo link. Some popular ones include Simple Custom CSS and JS, WP Customizer, and Code Snippets. These plugins give you the option to add custom code to your WordPress site without the need to edit any files manually.
Here are step-by-step instructions for changing the logo URL link using code snippets in WordPress:
- Go to the WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Theme Editor.
- In the Theme Editor, click on the functions.php file in the list of theme files on the right-hand side of the screen.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the functions.php file and paste the following code:
function change_logo_link() {
$site_url = "https://www.yournewlogolink.com";
return $site_url;
}
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', 'change_logo_link' );
add_filter( 'wp_login_url', 'change_logo_link' );
- Replace “https://www.yournewlogolink.com” with the URL you want your logo to link to.
- Click the “Update File” button to save your changes.
And that’s it! Your logo URL link should now be updated to the URL you specified in the code.
Here is another set of steps and code you can try:
- Go to Appearance > Editor in your WordPress dashboard.
- In the right-hand side of the screen, look for the functions.php file and click on it to open it.
- Add the following code at the end of the file:
function custom_logo_url() {
$home_url = 'https://example.com';
return $home_url;
}
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', 'custom_logo_url' );
add_filter( 'the_custom_logo_link', 'custom_logo_url' );
- Replace
https://example.comwith your desired URL. - Click on the Update File button to save the changes.
This code uses WordPress filters to modify the logo URL. The custom_logo_url() function sets the URL to the value of $home_url. The add_filter() functions then hook this function to the login_headerurl and the_custom_logo_link filters, which are responsible for generating the logo URL in the login screen and on the front-end of the site, respectively.
After implementing this code, your logo should now link to the URL you specified.
Another option is to use the theme editor. You can access the theme editor by going to Appearance > Theme Editor in your WordPress dashboard. From there, you can navigate to the header.php file, where you’ll find the code for your logo. Simply replace the old URL with the new one, save the changes, and you’re done!
However, it’s important to note that editing the theme files directly can be risky, as even a small mistake can break your site. It’s always recommended to make a backup of your site before making any changes.
In any case, if you’re not comfortable making these changes yourself, you can always seek the help of a professional developer. They’ll be able to help you make any changes you need to your WordPress site, including updating your logo link.
Remember, your logo is an important part of your brand identity, so it’s important to keep it up-to-date and consistent across all your online platforms. With these tips, you’ll be able to change your logo link in no time, even if it’s not in the customizer section.
