How to Change the WordPress Logo Size in Any Theme

If you’ve uploaded your logo in WordPress but it looks too big or too small then read on.

Because in this post I’m going to walk you through how to change the WordPress logo size in any WordPress theme.

Even if you’re using a theme that doesn’t let you adjust the logo size within the customizer, this post will help you.

Let’s get straight to it!

Change Your Logo Size if You’re Theme Settings Don’t Allow It

If you’re using a theme like Divi, GeneratePress, Astra or any other theme that let’s you change the logo size in the customizer settings then congrats!

Scroll below for a tutorial on all these themes.

If you’ve already checked your settings and your theme doesn’t allow it then here’s how to change the logo size using CSS. Don’t worry, it’s easy if you follow my steps below.

How to Change the WordPress Logo Size Using CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. Basically, it’s a language which tells the browser how to style different elements on a page.

Let’s use CSS to change the style of the logo size.

Step 1: Inspect the element

Right-click anywhere in your browser and you’ll see something like ‘Inspect’ or ‘Inspect Element’. Click on that to view the source code of the page.

Step 2: Click the element highlighter

A window will popup with an icon that looks like this. Click on it. This will highlight all the elements on the page when you hover over them with the mouse.

Step 3: Take note of the logo element

Hover your mouse over the logo and take note of the text that pops up. This is the CSS class that we need to target to change the size of the logo.

Step 4: Open the theme customizer

Then open the theme Customizer and then click on Additional CSS.

Step 5: Add some CSS code

Now add the following CSS code to adjust the size of your logo:

.my-css-class img { 
  max-height: 65px !important;
}

And replace .my-css-class with your own CSS class that you found in the element highlighter.

As you can see in the above picture, my CSS class is .site-title-wrapper but yours could be different depending on the theme you’re using.

Once you’ve added the code, you should see the logo change size. You can adjust the max-height value to get the desired size of your logo.

Click on publish and you’re done!

The following tutorials will guide you through changing the logo size in several popular WordPress themes, although it’s a fairly similar process for any theme that allows it inside the Customizer.

Step 4

Then, click on ‘Header and Navigation’ > ‘Primary Menu Bar’ to view the Divi logo settings.

This is where Divi is slightly different.

First choose the height of the header by selecting the ‘MENU HEIGHT’. I’ve set mine at 65px and then the ‘LOGO MAX HEIGHT’ is a percentage of the menu height.

So if you choose 100 then it’ll be the full height of the header with no space above and below. I’ve set mine at 80% so there’s a little space.

Step 5: And you’re done!

Here’s what my logo looks like with these settings. Click on Publish to save your changes.

You can also use CSS code if your theme doesn’t have the settings to change the logo size in the theme customizer.
