    Ok I found the perfect theme for my upcoming website, but I'm not too comfortable with the theme's controls.

    I like the overall outlook, the whatever graphics, but I need some help editing the theme to my requirements. Can any one help me out?

    URL: youthcorrespondent.com

    Modifications Required.
    - A Logo instead of simple youth correspondent.
    - Few modifications to Headers and Footers

    The theme I'm using is Guzel Pro - and it featuers a control panel option as well, but I want modifications beyond that.

    Help Appreciated

    Xavier.

    if you want to make changes on headers, check the headers.php and if you want to change the footers then check footers.php files respectively.

    make sure you are not violating the license terms of that theme.

    if i can see the theme files i can help you more. show us where you downloaded the theme.

    thanks

    Its a Free Theme that I downloaded from L I N K. So technically speaking, its not a violation of TOS. However I need to make some editions to it.

    Go to your theme folder /wordpress/wp-content/themes/<your theme>/ and open header.php edit to replace the logo to you want.

    Look for some code like this and replace it with your logo.
    
    <div id="headerimg">
    	  <h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
    	  <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
    	</div>
    
    Code (markup):
    similarly, open footer.php to make necessary changes.

    Its easy!
