Installed, upgraded, now ready to take an axe to Garland...

Apologies if this should be in "theme devt", but it isn't so much development as a post-drupal install/configure problem. I'm missing something simple, I know it, just can't see what it is.

Quickhistory: I installed Drupal 6.6 on my hosted server, got it running miracle of miracles on my second try (it couldn't find my database the first time). Started uploading some modules and themes here and there to try it out, all seem to be working okay, and just managed to upgrade to 6.8 without any hassles.

Now I want to move some of my old site over, and first and foremost is my logo. It is a green frog, so it would look good against Garland / Greenbeam. However, Garland apparently doesn't like me. I've got it set to show my Logo, Mission Statement, Title, Slogan, etc. None of them show up. All the checkboxes are set properly, I've tried resetting to defaults, nothing. All my other themes read it relatively fine (some show the logo file at a weird size sometimes, haven't figured that one out). But not Garland. I even tried wiping out some of the colour subdirectories it created the first couple of times. Nada. I've got GreenNBlack running as a theme, and it's okay, but I love the colour selection options in Garland.

But I can't for the life of me figure out either (a) how to make them show, or (b) revert back to defaults. It can't find the original logo, mine, none of the text, nada. It just shows up blank.

I'm sure I have an axe around here somewhere, that'll 'lurn it some manners...

So apparently it's the "slogan"?

If I have a site slogan in Garland, it stops displaying website title and logo. How weird is that????

What is your global theme

What is your global theme set to? That can sometimes throw these settings off.

Ah-hah

So I figured out that Garland puts LOGO + TITLE + SLOGAN all on the same line, with no wrap option. So if it doesn't fit, it doesn't show any of them. I unchecked my slogan so it was just Logo and TItle, and everything works fine.

Once I realized that it was the site slogan causing the problem, I could do a proper search through the documentation to find the problem. I had thought I had it nailed as a logo problem, but it wasn't. Sigh. I knew I was missing something simple.
