    I am assuming this is the blog in your signature?

    There doesn't seem to be a way to do this from within the Newspress Theme Options - so it would mean editing the code via Appearance -> Editor -> header.php.

    If you are happy with that, I can give you further instructions.

    Just let me know.


    Just one other thing - I realise this is a "free" theme - but you are left with footer links to completely unrelated sites and a lot of encoded script within the Theme - if you are happy with that, then OK - however, I, personally, would probably look for another theme without those backlinks (Just my opinion)

        Hi again - sorry for the delay!

        Before attempting this - I would advise you to make sure you have a copy of the current file "header.php" - just in case you need to revert back to the original.

        If you have ANY doubts about doing it - PM me your login details and I can simply do it for you.

        Here goes . . .

        If you go into your WP Admin panel -> Appearance -> Themes -> Editor -> look down the right-hand side for "Header" (header.php) and click on the link.

        You should now see in the centre column "Edit Themes - Header - header.php"

        Scroll down the lines of code until you find the following line . . . .

        Code:
        <?php else : echo '<img src="' . get_option("newspress_customlogo") . '" border="0" />'; endif; ?>
        Now replace that line with the following code

        Code:
        <?php else : echo '<a href="/"><img src="' . get_option("newspress_customlogo") . '" border="0" /></a>'; endif; ?>
        To avoid any typos it will be easier to copy and paste that line of code.

        Then click on "Update File" and you're done

        All the best . . .

    If there's no option, then you need to modify the header.php, as stated by pjCh....

    It might be worth updating to a more customizable theme. It appears the one you are using does not allow for many options (and it has ads).

    If you're serious about starting a marketable site, then I would suggest picking a different theme before your site grows too big.
