Twenty Sixteen Site Logo

    Happy new year all!

    I am not sure if I am imagining this, but I thought that the Twenty Sixteen theme has built in support for site logo. I have a feeling I saw it when I did my first install, but I may be wrong. The theme even comes up on the wordpress site under the site logo filter (https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/), which I am guessing only shows sites that have built in logo support.

    Can anyone confirm if there is built in support for site logo in the Twenty Sixteen theme?

    For more background my site is self-hosted and is mainly a vanilla wordpress install, but has some key plugins like jetpack and akismet installed. Site URL is http://mofella.com.

    I am aware of the use of special plugins/theme overrides to implement this functionality, but would like to avoid using these approaches if it is built in.

    Thank you for your help

    Hi there,

    Twenty Sixteen supports site logo only on WordPress.com.

    Self-hosted version of Twenty Sixteen doesn’t support site logo. It sounds odd but I found this info in this .org forum thread. They have a suggested a solution to create a child theme.

    Also, to get a better response, please post your future Twenty Sixteen related questions to self-hosted forum at https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentysixteen

    Thanks Chaitanya. Very precise answer. Also thanks for growing some grey cells here around the use of the correct forums. I am WordPress newbie and am learning my way around here. Really appreciate your help.

    I could not find a way of editing my last post, so apologies for spamming.

    This message is mainly to thank Chaitanya in a better way.

    You rock Chaitanya.
