Hi !
Great plugin but I think it would be better if this plugin could display a logo fixed in a location on the header or any other place, wouldn’t it?
Thanx !
@Javi A. – That is an idea with possibilities. I will add it to my reviews. Thank you!
@Javi – I just came across this write-up on the_widget() function. It appears it may be able to provide the ability you are looking for. Follow this link to the info.

Good morning,
your plugin is very useful and simple! Thank you for develop it.
I have a little question: how can I modify the plugin to make the logo fixed on the screen? I explain: I want a logo that “follow” the scrolling of the page, and an other one (a ribbon) that have to be fixed on the top-right position of the page, not following the scrolling.
I have searched in the files how can I say it to the plugin, but I’m quite orrible in developing languages. If you don’t know the way, can you please explain to me how to put a linked image in a part of my site using php?
Sorry for my ignorance!
@Sergio – Thank you for choosing to use the BNS Corner Logo plugin. Your idea of:
… is not part of the plugin’s function, but it can be accomplished. I will look into it more and send you an email with details.
Thank you very much! My compliments for plugin.
is there any way to use this without widgetized sidebars? I tried:
get_field_id( ‘Top-left’ )) {php _e(‘Plugin Logo Location:’); } ?>
in header.php
Regards, Jim
@Jim (JJ Cheno) – “Shortcodes” have not been implemented in this plugin, yet; and, adding a widget area into a sidebar is generally not too difficult or time consuming. A widget area would also be able to serve more functionality than just allowing this plugin to be activated.
Please feel free to review our WordPress Services page if you would like help updating, or modifying, your theme to have one or more widget areas.

This plugin is very cool and helpful .I’m using it here http://kitchentoworld.com .Thanks for sharing it
This plugin is great. I’ve only just started with WP and it’s all a bit overwhelming but I found yours very user friendly. I want to be able to display a large logo in the centre of my home page, is it possible with bns corner logo?
@luke – Thank you, I am very happy you have found this plugin to be “very user friendly”, that was part of the design concept. The plugin is only designed to place an image in one of the four corners of the screen, or in a widget area of the theme; placement elsewhere may be possible but it is currently outside the scope of the plugin functionality, although I will consider it for future updates.
Hi,
Great plugin and almost exactly what I need.
Currently running in plugin mode & just wanted to know if there was a way you could provide positioning capability (if you look at my site the logo sits too high and to the left of my template – be good to be able to adjust).
Otherwise any way to hook into the header.php and replace the position of the bloginfo title? (ie the text title from Settings/General).
Thanks,
Shane.
@Shane – Thank you! I appreciate your concerns with how you are using the plugin. Although the position in “plugin mode” is absolute it is also relative to the browser window as well. If you reduce the width of your browser window you will see the logo “move” to the right following the absolute position of top-left.
As to a “hook” into the header.php file to replace information displayed from the bloginfo() function, although an interesting idea, I also believe that would be a whole new plugin as the functionality would be well beyond the current code of this plugin.
I’ll add it to my To-Do list for new plugins though, thanks!
Thanks for my favorite plugin )
Hello Edward, how are you? Thanks for the plugin, I’ve been using it ever since you created it!
I have one question:
I am thinking of having some ad banners on my site and this plugin would be perfect if I could upload for example: 5 images to the top left corner, having one image below the other, forming a vertical line. Right now if I do this, they get one on top of the other.
Is it possible to do it with this plugin?
Thanks a million,
LiLi.
@LiLi – Thank you for choosing the BNS Corner Logo plugin. At this time the plugin uses CSS absolute positioning to place the image(s) in the corner(s); and, as you have seen this will cause multiple images placed in the same corner to stack on top of each other. The plugin does not have the functionality to cascade the images at this time.
Hi there, i’m new to wordpress and i’m trying to get this to work. i got the plugin installed and i can see where it would go on my website, however when i added it, my list of website pages, posts and categories on the right disappeared! i set up the logo to appear on the top right. what am i doing wrong?
@Melissa – Thank you for choosing this plugin. It would appear the theme you are using has only one widget area in its sidebar. When you placed this widget into the sidebar it activated the ‘dynamic_sidebar’ function.
Make note of the headings of the blocks in your sidebar. There are corresponding or very similar widgets that are installed by default in WordPress. When you add the BNS Corner Logo plugin you will need to add those other widgets into the sidebar as well. Each can be configured to look like your theme does now.
