Adding a Site Logo

By default, Tiki includes the Tiki logo at the top of your site. You can easily replace this with your logo by using one of the following procedures:

• Using a module
• Using the Look & Feel page
  

   Note

  The fields on the Look & Feel page will be removed in future releases and replaced by modules.

Using a module

1. From the Admin menu in the Menu module, select Settings > Modules.
   

    Tip

   You can also access the Admin: Modules page by using the Modules link in the Quick Admin area.
2. You can either:
   • Use the Tiki Logo module (which will use the information supplied on the Administration: Look and Feel page
