    My site logo is too small (you can barely see it in the top left corner) and I do not know how to make it bigger.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    For the Russell Theme, the logo’s height is designed to be no larger than the site title. So, it will not be large once added:

    https://wordpress.com/theme/russell/

    You can either enlarge the logo by using CSS via the Premium or Business Plan:

    Or, choose a different theme that has a larger default logo size. You can search for themes with different sized logos here:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    thank you for your support. I understand that the size of logo is pretty much fixed in the basic plan. However, when I chose the Russell theme, the size of my logo was good (exactly the same height at the site title). However, a few weeks ago it suddenly changed size and now the logo height is much smaller than the site title (you can barely see the logo so I had to take it out). Was there any change to the Russell theme recently?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi there,

    I don’t see any recent changes to this theme that would have affected the logo size, no.

    Your site doesn’t appear to have a logo set at the moment. Can you please add the log back and let us know once you’ve done that so we can take a look at what’s going on?

    Hi there,

    I have added back my logo now and have also kept the site title for comparison. You can see that the logo is much smaller than the title. If you can check why this is the case I would highly appreciate it.

    Many thanks!

    So, when I attempt to add the logo on my end and select the skip cropping option, this is what I see:

    It’s pixilated, but if you optimize the image, it looks like a decent size. Are you selecting the skip cropping option when you’re adding the logo?

    I have tried skipping the cropping before and, although at first it looks like the problem is fixed, when you refresh the page the logo shrinks again. You can check my website now, I have put the logo without cropping.

    From the look of it, the theme will display the logo at a maximum width of 64px. Seeing how your logo is text-based and quite wide, it will always get resized to fit into the space.
    Is there any other image you’d consider adding as your logo? If not, I’d suggest either changing your theme or adding your logo elsewhere on the site as an image or cover block.
