glad to help

I changed the settings in that file but my logo still stays cut in half by the categories below. The picture is 250x80 and the settings are the same. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

link to your site?

You know.....I have tried all of the archived fixes to change the logo size short of actually modifying my image in Photoshop.

None of them work. Its not a case of modifying files in wrong directory either. Been there done that.

Header.php does nothing
english.php does nothing.
tpl.header does nothing.

WTF?

Why is it that such a simple thing is such a complicated obstacle? I actually deleted the width and height in header file and nothing changed. I know I was in the right file because I renamed the logo file and when i did, the logo disappeared from the website.

If we dont need those two lines why are they even there?

Are you using free or modified template?

If so sometimes the logo w/h is also set in stylesheet.

Unless you're trying to do something other than I think, that's what you want to do anyway. Having Zencart resize your images often results in squished or otherwise mangled images.

When I set up Zencart, I set the width of mainWrapper, then decide how high I want the header to be, then create or resize the header/logo image to fit.

My Point here is that all of these files have variables to change the width height dimensions of the logo. But when you change them, nothing happens.

I have tried default template and custom. Made no difference.

Bottom line here is that we have to change the logo in photoshop in order to adjust the logo size. In this day and age of CSS, it seems ludicrous that it cant be tweaked thru php or css.

I agree it is what it is.

Have you tried adding the following to your stylesheet.

#logo img {
height:150px;
width:150px;
}

because that will certainly work.

Well if that will certainly work, why isnt it there already. There are probably 100's if not 1,000s of users who have experienced this problem.

No answer necessary.

thanks

I cannot get my logo to change either. I have tried

1. Changing the height and width and saving as /includes/languages/english/mytheme/header.php

2: Adding text below to /includes/templates/mytheme/css:

#logo img {
height:150px;
width:150px;
}

any other ideas?

Try changing the logowrapper size in stylesheet.css

#logoWrapper{
	background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color: #000000;
	height:CHANGETHISNUMBERpx;

This changes the area allowed for the logo.

My problem is I can't seem to get my logo to display at it's actual size. Should be 150px, keeps displaying at 250px, so I had to adjust the logowrapper to stop the category tabs etc cutting it off. looks all blurry.

OK, make sure you are updating the correct header.php file and saving it in your CUSTOM folder in includes/languages/english/CUSTOM and also altered the stylesheet.css in includes/templates/CUSTOM/css I must have been saving my header.php file in the wrong folder as it's all working properly now.

Hello,

I realize that this thread is a couple of years old but I ran into this issue and after a little trial and error found a "fix" that I thought I would submit in the hopes it would help someone else.

The Problem:

• The default logo sizes (HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH and HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT) stored in \includes\languages\english\YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER_NAME\header.php are not being applied to the logo image (by default logo.gif). The issue seems to be in \includes\templates\YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER_NAME\common\tpl_header.php (where YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER_NAME here is the customized directory you have set up . . . if you have created it)

The Fix:

1. Open \includes\templates\YOUR_CUSTOM_FOLDER_NAME\common\tpl_header.php
2. Find the following line:
   - ```
   echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>';

3. Comment out that line so it looks like this:
        - ```
//echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>';

4. Cut and Paste this line in above the one you just commented out:
   - ```
   echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '"><img src="' . DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE . '" height="' . HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT . '" width="'. HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH .'" alt="' . HEADER_ALT_TEXT . '" title="' . HEADER_ALT_TEXT . '"></a>' ?>

5. Save the file and refresh the site in your browser and you should be good to go.

Good Luck,

Rich

Funny you should chime in just when I was having a different issue with the logo image. Thanks for the follow up. Better late than never.

Issue I am having now with the logo image is a small gap of 2-3px above the image. This makes putting a white background impossible without the viewer noticing the image was poorly placed.
