From version 2.2 onwards the Genesis Club Plugin has a feature to make it easier to put your logo in the title area of the header on a Genesis child theme site. Rather than getting involved in using background images and custom CSS you can now just upload the logo to the media library or host it elsewhere on Amazon S3, and then paste its URL into the plugin. This means you don’t need a special Genesis Logo plugin to help you get your logo inserted – it is already bundled into the main Genesis Club plugin.
When using a logo image you will also want to click the checkbox labelled Remove Blog Title Text so the site title is not super-imposed on top of the logo.
Why Is This Feature Useful?
Without this feature then you have two possible approaches:
- in functions.php, add a filter at the genesis_seo_title hook to call a custom function to place the logo in the the title element; or
- in style.css, add the full size logo as a background-image to the #header title element and maybe also produce a smaller version of the logo to be used as the background image of the same element when the maximum device size is less than 640px.
With this Genesis Club Plugin feature, new in version 2.2, you only need one version of the logo and do not need to mess about with customizations in functions.php or style.css.
