The following tutorial outlines how to edit the logo with Adobe® Fireworks CS4. Fireworks is required for logo editing. CS3 can be used for image source editing.
Editing in Adobe® Fireworks CS4
Step 1 – Open the File
- Open the logo-source.png file in Adobe® Fireworks.
- Focus on the right column, titled Layers. Select the Web layers directory and click the eye icon to the left of the logo slice (the green object). This will make the slice invisible so you can edit the file.
Step 2 – Text/Slogan/Icon Editing
- Double click on the logo text. Now you can edit the text of logo to your choosing.
- Now, select the icon and disable/edit it as you wish.
Step 3 – Slice Modification
- Reactivate the Slice in the Web Layers column, this will place a green rectangle over the logo image. Change the size of the slice (or move it) to match the new size if applicable.
Step 4 – Export
- Now you will want to export the logo. Right click on the image slice and select Exported Selected Slices… from the contextual menu. Proceed to export it to your computer for uploading.
Step 5 – Multiple Frames/States
- If there are multiple logos for a template, they are located in Frames or States within Fireworks.
Uploading the changed files
Once you have successfully edited then exported your new logo, you will need to upload it to your server. This process is best done via a FTP client such as Filezilla
- Open your FTP client on your local computer.
- Login to your web server where Syndicate is installed.
- Navigate to the /wp-content/themes/rt_syndicate_wp/images/logo/style/ directory.
- Upload logo.png (and any other logo related images) to this directory (You may need to browse on the local panel in the FTP client to find where you have exported your logo).
- Clear your browser cache before viewing such as using the keyboard commands on Windows, Ctrl+F5.
