I have created a new child theme from Luma. The admin panel recognizes that it's registered and I have set it up to be used for my store.

One of the things I tried to achieve was changing the logo for a store, tried to define it in default.xml, and flushed the cache, but nothing changed on the frontend.

Afterward, I tried to insert a container with a block on top of the header, but also no sign of any changes.

What exactly I am doing wrong? Can't seem to figure it out with just the help of Google.

  1. Create the Magento_Theme directory inside your theme. frontend/MyVendor/MyTheme/Magento_Theme

  2. Move the layout and templates directory to Magento_Theme.

  3. Update the default.xml file like this.

<referenceBlock name="logo">
    <action method="setLogoFile">
        <argument name="logo_file" xsi:type="string">images/my_logo.png</argument>
    </action>
    <arguments>
        <argument name="logo_alt" xsi:type="string">Awesome logo</argument>
    </arguments>
</referenceBlock>
