Setting Up a Logo

Aphelion’s header doesn’t use an image logo out of the box. By default it shows the theme’s icon mark next to your site title, and both are easy to change — for most sites, branding the header simply means setting your own title and, optionally, swapping the icon.

Changing the site title

  1. Go to Appearance → Editor → Identity (WordPress 7.1 or later).
  2. Enter your site title and click Save.

On older WordPress versions, the same setting lives under Settings → General → Site Title.

Changing the icon mark

  1. Go to Appearance → Editor → Patterns → All template parts and open the Header.
  2. Select the Icon block next to the site title.
  3. In the block settings, pick a different icon or paste your own SVG, and adjust the color and width to taste.
  4. Click Save.

Using an image logo instead

If you’d rather show a full image logo (for example, a wordmark), upload it first under Appearance → Editor → Identity. WordPress displays the uploaded logo wherever a Site Logo block is placed — and since Aphelion’s header uses the icon and site title combination instead, you’ll swap those out once:

  1. Open the Header template part in the Site Editor.
  2. Remove the Icon block and the Site Title block.
  3. Insert a Site Logo block in their place — it picks up the logo you uploaded automatically.
  4. Set the logo width in the block settings and click Save.

The header sits on a dark background, so use a light version of your logo — an SVG or a PNG with a transparent background works best. The footer uses the same icon and site title combination; repeat the steps there if you want the image logo in both places.
