Logo upload window broken

Hi,

When one want to update logo it quite challenging. When we click on logo management window (which also tackles fevicon) the window is broken as you can’t see the ‘search option. Check the attached image. Is it not possible to use the WP-Media window to manage images for logo and fevicon? We change logo for events like July 4th etc and it’s impossible to manage logos.

Can you please fix this?
Thanks.

This has been an issue with all themes for years, not just Newspaper.

We’ve found it’s simpler to FTP up the logo, then put in the URL to logo. such as mysite/images/logo2014_600x200.png (or whatever), then save, them reload page and the link will be there. Super annoying. I gave up on the upload function looooong time ago.

Not sure that helps, but it’s what I do on my dozen or so websites now. Especially if using Internet Explorer on Win7.

If you don’t want to FTP, you can still upload logo with media manager, make note of URL, then put in the full URL in the theme panel(s) for logo.

Thanks for your reply. I use other themes on other sites. Themes I used include Steam, Orion Press, Bucket, SmartMag and they all open the WP-media manager to manage logo, fevicon etc and it works fine. It’s only Newpaper theme which has this issue 🙂

Since we have 2 editors who manage content, they are not at all versed with FTP and WP interface is what they are used to.

As you can see in video below I was on Explicit theme and when clicked on logo upload option it opened the wp-media manager

Yep same issue I have with many themes, browser, etc.

Again, simply copy the URL for the image in your repository, then paste that URL in the box for the logo, press save. If you go back to the logo options, it will now be there. No FTP required.

I see this with some themes from major companies, and some themes do not. It’s an Ajax/Java issue between the WP panel, theme panel, and browser.

I’m sure Radu et al will look at that issue, but it’s fairly common, and can change from each version of browser, theme and WordPress, in my experience.
