Choose the Right Logo for Each Location
A toolbar mark and a sidebar logo occupy very different spaces. A compact symbol can remain recognizable at the toolbar’s small size, while a wider wordmark can make better use of the area above the navigation. Admin Logo lets you configure those placements separately rather than requiring one asset to serve both. The same-logo option is available when a single image does work in both places. Selecting a location alone does not insert branding: that location remains idle until a valid logo URL is supplied.
The toolbar defaults to 20 px when its size field is empty, with an adjustable range of 1–30 px. Sidebar width follows the shared WP PowerSuite menu width, normally 160 px. When Wider Admin Menu is used, the logo can follow that wider navigation area. This keeps logo placement and navigation width coordinated without turning the logo module into a separate menu-layout editor.
Make the Sidebar Logo a Useful Shortcut
The sidebar logo can be more than decoration. Set its destination to the homepage for a quick route to the public site, choose Dashboard for an administrative starting point, or enter a custom URL such as an existing client-help page. No Link is also available when the image should be purely visual. The homepage is the default destination, and the link opens in a new tab unless you change the target to the same tab.
These settings control the logo’s destination, not the resource at that destination. Linking to a help page does not create the page or change who may access it. A useful client handover might therefore pair a recognizable sidebar logo with a support destination that already exists, while keeping the toolbar mark focused on moving between the public site and WordPress.
Carry the Toolbar Branding Into Frontend Browsing
When the WordPress toolbar is visible on the frontend, its custom logo remains available there too. The optional Link to Dashboard setting changes that frontend destination, while the admin-side logo still links to the homepage. This makes the behavior useful for users moving between editing and reviewing the site without treating the toolbar logo as a replacement for the public theme’s own branding.
The optional site-icon control is another small administrative detail: it replaces the toolbar’s house icon using the site’s configured icon. It does not create or replace the site’s favicon. Likewise, Admin Logo does not alter the sign-in screen. Use Custom Login Logo for the separate login mark when both entry and dashboard branding need attention.
