How to adjust logo size?

    Hello everyone!

    I have been using the maywood theme for the last 10 months. I had made a logo using MS Word and uploaded a screenshot of it. Not the best solution!

    I have now replicated the logo (and improved it slightly) in Adobe Illustrator. Since WordPress does not allow for an upload in .ai format, I saved it as a .png.
    Unfortunately the new logo is displayed in a massive scale, as if it was huge. In the PNG file it is not.

    The maywood theme does not allow to adjust the logo size with a slider since it should be pegged to 60px in height.
    In the case of my new logo, it simply isn’t!

    How can I solve this?

    Thank you so very much!

    Hi Carlo! There are a few ways to approach this:

    – Upload a smaller logo

    – Use the Crop tool (most themes will ask for this)

    – Use some CSS to manage the logo size:

    .site-logo {
    width: 500px;
    margin: auto;
}

    You would paste that under Customize > CSS. If you want it to align to the left instead, you can take out the margin: auto; line.

    Hi supernovia!

    Thank you so much for your prompt answer!

    – I had tried to upload a smaller logo, more than once. Unfortunately it seemed to stay overly big, as if it was compensating for the high resolution of the PNGs I was uploading.

    – The crop tool I tried as well, it would throw an error or make my logo blurred and fuzzy.

    – Your CSS… magic! It worked perfectly, I am stuffed! I tried CSS, but could not come up with “.site-logo”… Pure incompetence on my side, I guess!

    Thank you so much, and I will keep in mind that I can contact support directly… I did not know that either.
