Header logo based on page

Hi. We need to have a different heading logo image for specific pages. Is there a way to achieve that ?

Not within the current theme, no.

A custom function could be built to either check on page load if the current page has a specific and different logo assigned, or to add a custom field on each post which holds the url of the desired logo for that page.

The latter method would be most efficient, but you need someone familiar with WordPress, php, and html (maybe JavaScript too) to code it. Such functionality is beyond the scope of the NewsMag theme.

Thanks for your reply. It could sound weird as request but the need is to display the logo with a small change when pages related specific areas of our sport magazine are displayed.
Can you provide a consultancy on this customization? Thanks

What criteria will be used to determine that a different logo is required? There may be free or already existing premium plugins out there that can handle it, depending on the criteria.

I’m guessing some pages (WP definition of a page, vs a post) will need a different logo, and the categories too (sounds like your categories are the different sports you cover, NFL, NBA, MLB< Soccer, etc.). But please correct me or confirm or both, so I know how the change of logo will be triggered.

I’ll gladly offer a consultation, but I’d like to make sure you need customization and not a readily available – and possibly free – plugin first.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your new reply, your words shows a professional approach.

You’re guessing right: we own a sport magazine that provides news and in-depth analysis concerning the world of football (soccer) and finance. We are building several channels specific for the bigger clubs.
Each channel is built via a page that filter posts by tag (each article is tagged with the relevant club(s) ).

The fact is that they look too similar and we want to provide them a club specific style. The other fact is that we don’t want to sacrifice valuable space that now is available for contents or ads.

That’s why the logo option. It will be the newspaper header with a small change representing the club.

TO summarize: 10 (approx) clubs -> 10 pages (post-type = page) with specific logo.

Thanks again
Fabio

That can be done. I didn’t find any plugins that can do this. It shouldn’t be a plugin anyway. Plugins are a whole process and inline code is just quicker, if done well.

Email me at projects@slugbite.com to continue. Use Custom Logo Based on Page as the subject, please, so I know it’s related to this support request.
