Site Identity Logo Size
18 replies · Started by Douglas on June 15, 2019
Hi,
New to GeneratePress! I'm not the most tech-savvy and I'm sure there's an easy solution to the problem I'm having.
Trying to add a logo under site entity but it keeps enlarging by itself to fit the header fully. I want the logo to show as the same size I uploaded the image "399 by 45 pixels."
Also, is it possible to set the logo at a separate size for the header when it's sticky? Like if I want it to shrink to 350 by 35 pixels or something can I do that?
Thanks!
Hi there,
are you using the normal site header? ie. not checking Use Navigation as Header in Customizer > Layout > Header. If so then the logo should be displayed at the original image size ( as long as space permits).
You can also adjust the logo manually in Customizer > Site Identity --> Logo Width.
If you're using the navigation as the header or have a logo set in the Sticky Navigation then its size will be dictated by the Menu Item height you have set in the customizer.
Hi,
This did not fix any of my issues.
I cannot adjust the logo manually because there is no Logo width setting under Customizer > Site Identity > Logo. This is where I have the logo set. I don't want the size to be dictated by the Menu Item height because it's blowing up my logo way bigger than it is, sacrificing the quality. I just want it to show at the size I uploaded (which fits in header with plenty of room)
Hi there,
The logo width setting should be there as long as you have a logo uploaded in site identity.
Also make sure you are using the latest GeneratePress theme.
Let me know :)
Hi,
I'm on the latest build.
There is no option for width under site identity.

Even when I edit the image it grows it to fit my header size. I want it to be the size I upload at which is roughly the size of my primary navigation menu. http://bke.1a0.myftpupload.com
If you are sure that you are using the latest version of the theme 2.2.2, then try disable all activated plugins to see if there is a conflict.
That's the only reason I can think of right now unfortunately. There has been no other reports on this.
Let me know :)
Did you see the screenshots?
Yes, am running 2.2.2

Ahh you are using the navigation as header option:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-as-a-header/
Which means that the logo size is determined by the menu item height:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/menu-item-height-width/
Your original logo image is 58px in height.
Let me know if this helps :)
Okay. How can I get the header menu item to be a different size than the logo width.
I like the menu item size as is, but want the logo smaller.
Hope that makes sense.
Thx again
Give this CSS a shot:
.navigation-branding img {
padding: 20px 0;
}Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/
Let me know :)
That shrunk it, but not to the original size of the image. (399x45) is what I'm looking for.
I adjusted the CSS and got it close enough to where I want it to be.
Thx
No problem :)
Why is the logo width setting removed when using the navigation as header option? I don't understand.
Just the way navigation as a header option works - the width is now determined by the height in ratio to keep everything looking good.
This works for most of the users. If you have a special case, feel free to open a new topic and link us to the page in question and we can try some CSS to make it work for you :)
