This tutorial shows how to assign a custom link for logo in Joomla 3.x template.

As the default setting, the link for logo is Home page. In this tutorial we will change this link to a custom link.

Log into FTP/File Manager, navigate to templates/themeXXXX, open index.php file to edit:
In index.php file search for the word ‘logo’ and look for these codes:
```
  
            
                
                
					
					
                

					
                
             
	
```
from:
```
	
	
```
replace:
```
	
	
```
with the new link for logo, for example: http://www.demolink.org
Click Save Changes and refresh your site, click on the logo to see that it links to the new http://www.demolink.org link now.

You can also open index.php file via the Admin Panel :

In your Joomla Admin panel go to Extensions -> Template Manager:
Select Templates, then ThemeXXXX (the activated theme):
Open index.php file from the left hand side list and start editing:

Note: If index.php file can not be opened and edited, please check this tutorial: Joomla 3.x. Troubleshooter. CSS files are missing in template manager.
