SVG logo – not displaying at all

[wfx-mainhub-link]

Upon consulting with the documentation:
https://github.com/theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke?tab=readme-ov-file#logo

I cannot get an SVG logo to display in the header/nav in place of the site title. A PNG works fine, but when I attempt to load an SVG, it simply displays nothing, including the removal of the site name that's typically there by default. After inspecting the HTML page, there is also no reference to the file, as there is when the PNG version is present.

I've placed my image in /static/images/ (also tried just the root /static/ directory).

My hugo.toml includes:

[params]
site_logo = "/images/logo.svg"

Am I missing something?

I just tried it and it doesn't work for me either. I tried to put one of my SVG social icons as the site_logo and no joy. A png works fine.

Could you show me the SVGs that don't work? It doesn't look like the logo is "equipped" to handle SVG because it doesn't know its box size when in SVG. This might be solvable via CSS (give it a height and width). But the whole code at that location looks very, ehm, antiquated.

I assume you tested these points:

• with and without a starting slash in the beginning (the layout creates a full URL for the image, so the whole "link it with /images/* will link to static/images/*" does not apply here.
• the SVG is a valid SVG file (XML declaration exists, namespaces exist)

I changed my site logo from:

site_logo = "/images/cropped-rtw_icon-150x150.png"

to:

site_logo = "/assets/ananke/socials/home.svg"

Then I tried copying /assets/ananke/socials/home.svg to /static/images/home.svg and changed site_logo to:

site_logo = "/images/home.svg"

Now the svg displays correctly as the site_logo. Sorry about that. @wfx-mainhub-link where exactly is the svg file you are trying to display and what is your site_logo set to?
