Caption: Absolutely nothing to do with the post. Just thought i’d show off the view from our new office.

I thought i’d add a quick post on this . I managed to lose my purchase login for the Fresh News support site, not having this I figured i’d be able to find out how to customise my header by Googling it pretty easy…Turns out I couldn’t, and most of the existing results that I found related back to the support forums. 

Here’s how to customise the Fresh News theme header in a nutshell;

1) Make a copy of the existing Fresh News logo the size will need to be 520 x 80 px

2) Design your logo to the spec above, save as a PNG using exactly the same logo name for the colour style your currently using. You can find this in the ’styles’ folder within the Fresh News theme (logo.png).

3)  Open your FTP program (filezilla etc) and locate the current style that your using e.g. /freshnews theme/styles/whitey. 

4) Simply click and drag the image file over and you should be prompted to ‘overwrite existing’. Choose yes.

That should be it. I thought i’d share as it took me a few hours to figure out and there doesn’t seem to be many similar articles. It could of course be me making it hard for myself and being incredibly stupid, apologies if i’ve insulted anyone’s intelligence! There are other ways of doing this but I think this is probably the easiest. 

Tip:  Backup your original themes folder somewhere so that you can always revert back to the default settings if you need.
