Magento: How to change logo image from backend admin?

Here is a quick tip on how to change/update logo image from Magento backend/admin. You don’t need to login to FTP and upload/replace files. You also don’t need to change the code of any file.

Here is the step-by-step guide to change the logo from backend:

– Login to your Magento admin
– Edit/Add any static block (CMS -> Static Blocks)
– There you will see Insert Image button. Click on it.

– Upload your logo image there. Suppose, your logo name is logo.png. Then, the image path will be http://your-website.com/media/wysiwyg/logo.png
– Now, go to System -> Configuration -> Design -> Header
– Update Logo Image Src to ../../../../../media/wysiwyg/logo.png. This has to be done because by default Magento fetches image from skin/frontend/smartwave/porto/images directory.

Now, when you browse your frontend site, you should be able to see the updated logo.

Hope this helps. Thanks.
