How to replace default logo in phpBB3

Ajay on January 2nd, 2008

Solution 1: The simplest method

By defaul the logo is

styles/prosilver/imageset/site_logo.gif

If you have modified the style then search for the logo in that style folder.

Simply replace this logo with your logo keep the name same and size.

Solution 2:

In Admin panel -> Styles -> Templates

Click on the Edit against your default template

Select the overall_header.html file from drop down menu

Search for this line

<a href=”{U_INDEX}” title=”{L_INDEX}” id=”logo”>{SITE_LOGO_IMG}< / a >

And replace the tags as per your requirements.

P.S. I’ve given extra spaces in tags so don’t copy and paste above line to search.

Solution 3: Replace it from Admin panel

ACP->Styles->Imagesets

Edit your imageset (by default it would be  subsilver2)

From there you can specify the logo image.
