My smf forums recently underwent a server change and now the header image banner is not linked to the main page. I have looked and looked to try and find the the css/index file under themes and layout settings to find this url link and change it to the right one. Could anyone point me in the right direction for where I can find this header banner image link url to change it? Thank You!

Have a look at the option called: Logo image URL located under Theme Settings.

I must be on overload, where is this located in the admin section. I am assuming it is in the themes and layout section?

This is all I seem to see, probably not in the right area.

If this is what your talking about. I need to change the link this goes to when clicked not the actual image itself.

Yes, that is the one.

The image itself isn't the problem. It is not linked to the correct web address. I need to change that. Any ideas on where I can find this and change it? Thanks for the help.

At the index.template.php file of the theme that you are using as default, find this code:

<a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
And replace it with this:

<a href="redirection_url_link_here">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
Replace redirection_url_link_here with the actual link that you want your logo to point to when clicked upon.

Any clue at to a quick way to navigate to this in the index template php file?

I found it. It begins on the third part with line 168. Thank You!

It is now fixed!
