If you go to Avada > Options > Logo, that’s where you can Upload or Remove your logo. And yes, if the logo is big, it will mess up the layout of the header. I hope that helps.

You may want to try using AccessPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/accesspress-anonymous-post/). I think this plugin best fit to what you want to achieve.

Yes, when things get weird, it’s usually the browser that is clogged up. Here’s what do.

1. Refresh the page
2. Try a different browser OR try clearing the history.

99% of the time one of those two will fix things.
