 * glephay raised this a few months ago but it was never resolved.
    I just updated
   my localhost ( recently installed) copy from Zerif 1.8.4.1 to 1.8.5.16. (I didn’t
   update my live site as I tried this a few months ago and found some issues that
   I didn’t have time to fix on my live site, so I reverted to a backup at the time.
   Now I am trying updates on my localhost before my live site.)
 * There are various issues most of which I’ve resolved but as glephay found, there
   are now problems with the logo.
    1. the logo is now centered above the menu whereas
   before it was left justified and took up less room. Is there a fix for this? 
   2. No matter what I do the Zerif logo will not be replaced with my own logo. 
   I go to customize and delete the zerif logo, then replace it with mine. Then 
   I save the changes and all looks fine ( apart from the center issue). Then I 
   exit the customize menu and the zerif logo reappears. It is not a caching issue–
   the zerif logo just comes back and the edit is lost! Why? Is there a fix for 
   this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi, thanks for the quick response. I’ve found out why the image was disappearing–
   I had a child version of header.php. However I cannot see how to get the logo
   image back to justified left inline with the menu as it used to be. I’ve now 
   deleted my header.php child version. There was no code in it changing the alignment
   of the logo image.
    Here are screenshots of before and after:

 * Hi, thanks for the reply. The url is [http://www.bestbibntucker.co.uk](http://www.bestbibntucker.co.uk)
   but it is in maintenance mode for now. I am updating many shop items and making
   some other changes. I cannot put it live again for a little while yet and I will
   not be updating it to the latest version of Zerif lite until I have the above
   issue resolved. The new position of the logo takes up too much space and also
   knocks out the positioning of the big title section images (as you can see from
   the provided screen shots).
    I would be willing to allow you guest access to 
   the site for a short time if that would help? I don’t know how we could arrange
   that though. There is no additional css related to the logo or header area.

   to get the guest access of your site to check and find the exact solution. I 
   will wait for guest access.

 * mdshak – thanks very much for your offer of help. I have now resolved the issue.
   I am sorry to say it was just an issue with a very slightly wider menu which 
   forced the logo above the menu.
    It took a while but I got there. The difference
   was small and showed up differently on different browsers. My apologies for taking
   up your time. I have now created a new child header.php file too to get round
   the problem of the disappearing logo. Best Regards
 * Colin
