Custom Logo Not Showing

I have followed the instructions exactly and I can't get the custom Logo to appear. I am using firefox so its not a cache issue, but just to be sure I did a hard clear on the cache and I am still getting the drupal default logo, not the coffee one.

I went into the bartik enabled theme instead of the global settings like she described in the video and was successful. Not sure if correct, but it's a workaround.

I have the same problem, the Global appearance settings will not take effect. I can however change the settings for any specific theme. Any insight?

I couldn't find the coffee logo in any of the files that we downloaded for the course. Was that anyone else's experience?

Download the project files in the first lesson, it includes the finished drupal site. The images are stored inside the sites/all/default/files folder.

This appears to be a drupal update change. Change the logo by the theme specfic area. Management Menu -> Appearance -> Settings (the link on the page under Bartik, NOT the tab on the top) -> Uncheck "Use the default logo" -> Upload new logo -> Save Configuration

Hello, I've done the way J E has suggested and it worked, I wonder why did it work this way instead of uploading within the global settings section which doesn't work for me. Many thanks

You can upload your logo on the Global Settings settings. localhost/yourdrupalsite/admin/appearance/settings.

If you've enabled multiple themes you can active "Use the default logo" checkbox. This way it uses the Global settings.

If you are interested in manually entering the path to an image, under, "Appearance -> Settings -> [theme] -> Logo Image Settings -> Path to custom logo", you may type:

sites/default/files/[image-name].png

This assumes you're placing your images in the default site. Note that the path does not have "/" at the beginning
