Here is a quick tip on how to change/update logo image from Magento backend/admin. You don’t need to login to FTP and upload/replace files. You also don’t need to change the code of any file.
Here is the step-by-step guide to change the logo from backend:
– Login to your Magento admin
– Edit/Add any static block (CMS -> Static Blocks)
– There you will see Insert Image button. Click on it.
– Upload your logo image there. Suppose, your logo name is logo.png. Then, the image path will be
http://your-website.com/media/wysiwyg/logo.png
– Now, go to System -> Configuration -> Design -> Header
– Update Logo Image Src to../../../../../media/wysiwyg/logo.png. This has to be done because by default Magento fetches image fromskin/frontend/smartwave/porto/imagesdirectory.
Now, when you browse your frontend site, you should be able to see the updated logo.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
