How to change Powered by Plesk logo in the header and the footer text?
Answer
- To change "Powered by Plesk" image in the header, replace the file with a custom image. The name of the file should remain the same:
-
Log into the server via RDP.
-
Upload the required image to the server in the .png format for example with the name image.png
-
Rename image.png to powered-logo.png.
-
Copy and paste with the powered-logo.png to the following location
CONFIG_TEXT: %plesk_dir%admin\admin\cp\public\theme\images\logos\powered-logo.png
-
Connect to the server via SSH.
-
Use any preferred method to upload the new image into the server as .png format, for example with the name image.png
-
Copy the image.png file to the right location while renaming this as powered-logo.png:
# cp ./image.png /usr/local/psa/admin/cp/public/theme/images/logos/powered-logo.png
-
Confirm to replace the existing file if prompted.

Hello, at Obsidian 18.0.26 the path is:
/usr/local/psa/admin/cp/public/theme/images/logos/powered-logo.png
You can also replace the brand-logo:

At plesk obsidian 18.0.26 replace the following svt-data in the path:
/usr/local/psa/admin/cp/public/theme/images/logos/plesk/logo.svg
To change the title in the footer from plesk.com to your, you must change the following:
cp /usr/local/psa/admin/application/default/layouts/layout.phtml /usr/local/psa/admin/application/default/layouts/BACKlayout.phtml
vim /usr/local/psa/admin/application/default/layouts/layout.phtml
<a href="<?= Plesk_Config::get()->product->siteUrl; ?>" target="_blank">plesk.com</a>
to
<a href="<?= Plesk_Config::get()->product->siteUrl; ?>" target="_blank">YOURDOMAIN.tld</a>
In Plesk Obsidian there is no /usr/local/psa/admin/application/default/layouts/_footer.phtml anymore, but i found the footer line '<a href="<?php echo Plesk_Config::get()->product->siteUrl; ?>" target="_blank">Plesk.com</a>' in the file /usr/local/psa/admin/application/default/layouts/layout.phtml
and it works to change plesk.com to example.com in the footer
Hi Maximilian Wilke and Sebastian Hebestreit,
Thank you all.
The article has been updated.
The changes(plesk.com to example.com) in the file:
/usr/local/psa/admin/application/default/layouts/layout.phtml
keeps getting overwritten by each plesk update. Is there a way to keep the changes persistent?
Hello Fadi Asbih
By Plesk Design this file is indeed being overwritten after each update.
To workaround this you may come up with a scheduled task which will swap the file back to the customized.
It seems that as of Plesk version 18.0.33 the layout.phtml file content has changed, and the <a href="<?php echo Plesk_Config::get()->product->siteUrl; ?>" target="_blank">Plesk.com</a> part is no longer available. Instead now a $this->pageFooter() call is used.
Is there still a way to modify/customize the footer content?
Got the same problem, after Plesk 18.0.33 the layout.phtml doesn´t contain the plesk.com url anymore. Is there a new workaround?
please how can I restore the main.js backup, whole panel is down :(
Hi @Pablo,
If you created a backup as this article suggests using this command:
# cp -pr /usr/local/psa/admin/cp/public/javascript/main.js{,.backup}
Then you may just restore the main.js file the following way:
# mv /usr/local/psa/admin/cp/public/javascript/main.js.backup /usr/local/psa/admin/cp/public/javascript/main.js
