Default Text Logo Not Working

We do not have a logo for our site and I believe this means that it should default to our site title for a logo? However, I just see the Discourse logo. I don’t have any images uploaded in any of the logo settings, and am on the latest version of the software (414aa1f) at the time of this post.

After the recent changes in logo settings somehow the logo_url site setting (which is depreciated and hidden now) is changed to its default value /images/d-logo-sketch.png when it is empty. You should remove the value in the console like below.

rails c
SiteSetting.logo_url = ""

Hi there, I’m a bit of a newbie and I’m having the same isssue, where do I find the console?
Any help would be much appreciated

If you did a standard install, you’d do this:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
SiteSetting.logo_url = ""
exit

I’ve had to do this each time a new release is created, can we make this change permanent?

This is assigned to @tgxworld he is having a think about a more permanent solution here, we want to allow people to have text logos work.

Thanks. i am waiting

No point in waiting imo… Just download paint.net for now and draw a text logo for now. It is free: https://www.getpaint.net/

We will get to this, but you have a very trivial workaround.

PR for this is up in

I had to add proper default support to upload site settings in order to recover the feature in a sane manner.
