MyBB 1.6: How to change MyBB logo or Theme logo.?

In this article, I am going to explain how to change the logo image of the MyBB forum. This Article applies to:

• MyBB 1.6.12 version.
• May be will work on other versions too. But I didn’t test it. 🙂

1. Go to the file browser where your MyBB Forum files are located.
2. Upload your own image file into the images folder. For example: in cPanel’s file browser, we need to upload the file into public_html/images folder location.
3. Now you have the file ready on your web server. The next step is to instruct MyBB to display your image file instead of MyBB’s default logo file. Below steps will do.
4. Log in to your MyBB Forum account using your admin user credentials. Once you log in, you will see something like the below text in your Admin panel.

5. Click on the “Admin CP” link.
6. MyBB software will again ask you to enter your admin user credentials. Enter the admin user credentials.
7. Once you login into the MyBB forum, you will see the “Themes” link in your Admin panel. Usually, this will appear under the Quick Access group. Click on the Themes link.
8. MyBB Admin panel will display the list of Themes currently set up for the Forum. The display will be something like below:
   

   Themes

   Theme	# Users	Controls
   MyBB Master Style	0	Options
   Default	4	Options

9. Click on the Options link/button which is next to the currently active Theme. In this case, it is Default.
10. MyBB will display the below list to allow the administrator to manage the Theme.
    

    Options

    Edit Theme

    Delete Theme

    Force on Users

    Export Theme

11. From the drop-down box click on the “Edit Theme” menu item. MyBB will display multiple options to allow you to edit the theme.
12. By default, when you click on the Edit Theme link/menu item; MyBB will take you to the Edit Stylesheets tab. This is the place where you can easily manage the stylesheets of the selected theme.
13. Scroll down a little bit, and under Edit Theme Properties, you can find the below option to allow you to edit the logo image.

    Location of the board logo used in this theme (this is the logo that appears at the top of each page).

14. Now you change the image name to the image that you have uploaded initially into the webserver. For example: if your image name is myownlogo.gif; after the change, the setting looks like below:
    

    images/myownlogo.gif

15. Once you are done with the change; click on the “Save Theme Properties” button/link which is bottom of the current page where you are editing the changes. If the changes are successful, you will see the below message:
    

    The properties for the select theme have been updated successfully.

16. Now Refresh your MyBB forum page, and you will see MyBB default logo is replaced with your own logo.
