I have different menu bars across the different modules of discussions, events, dashboard, home page (none) and blogs.

How do I make them consistent to match the dashboard & events one?
Hi Jason,

Firstly, seems like there is a few template override for toolbar for those easyblog and easydiscuss where it shows as per your screenshot, where if I try to rename the template override for the toolbar it shows fine. You should reconfigure back your template override so that the styling was not broken. or if you want to use the default easyblog/easydiscuss's toolbar you should just rename the file
Do you change your template to use Elegant currently? if yes, you should not encounter the toolbar issue anymore as the template override for the toolbar is for the riskoracle's template

By the way, we actually got toolbar module for each component (easysocial,easyblog and easydiscuss) if you want to put it on other page (eg:homepage)

Yes changed to Elegant, though now trying to learn how to work this.

I want a consistent look for all toolbars but menu options should match what is required for each component. Looking at it in Elegant template this is what there is. Am I correct?

1. I see on your demo site you have some simple buttons for Sign In and Register

Where do I find those? I know they are in module and in position profile

2. How do I change Elegant in Main Menu to my own logo?

Are you saying I cannot have a logo in the header of the website? Is there any way to have my logo in the site then?

I read a post which says your demo site is based on Elegant. In your demo you have a logo in the menu header bar. How do I do this? (Photo attached of your demo site and what I want to do)

If I cannot have a logo how do I change the words Elegant to my site name?

The link you gave me is about changing the associated URL & I am good with the URL as it goes back to the home page.

Sorry, I think I've paste the wrong forum post there. Actually, it is possible to add logo in the Elegant template, but it require some customization in the file:
JoomlaFolder\templates\elegant\index.php

Yes, you can change the Elegant text to use your site's name by go to template setting: http://take.ms/TTkDS

How do I do this? I can find the folder etc. but I would like to learn how to do this. I am not a coder of any description but can try.

If you cant help I will ask a freelance coder to do.

Hi Jason,

You actually can add the code as below:

<img class="navbar-brand" src="https://www.riskoracle.com/images/logo2.jpg" alt="test" style="width: 250px;">

as shown: http://take.ms/rEr0c
where you need to change the source of your image accordingly I'm just try use the image that already exist in your site for example here

You're suggested to backup the file that you want to customize beforehand for precaution
