Displaying Blog Title, not in Header but in Tab instead.

  • In version 4.2.1, it was possible to remove Site Title and Tagline info from the general settings, therefore having them not interfere with custom graphics located in that space. It was then possible to go into the theme CSS files (Prosense) and add the Site Title there, so it would display in just the page tab. Is that a new arrangement in 4.2.2 or am I missing something? Is there a workaround to get it back in the tab only. Thanks for your help.

  • You shouldn’t be removing it from the General screen. You may need to implement some CSS to properly remove the title from display (typically using something like ‘text-indent: -9999px;’.

    You would then set the background of the containing div to the image that you want.

    You should also look at creating a child theme, so that your changes won’t get overwritten upon upgrading.

    highly unlikely, that adding anything to the CSS files would show in the meta title tab.

    unless you are using a seo plugin, deleted site titles and taglines will not show in the meta title tag.

    what theme are you using?

    Sorry for the delay in getting back. Some minor health issues sidetracked me. I am using the PROSENSE Blue theme.

    I am fairly non-technical so let me offer this additional information.

    I ordered a course from a highly respected player where he built a site from scratch on video. It worked.

    When it comes to the Title & Subtitle issue mentioned earlier here, I have copied and pasted it from that video transcript and matched it exactly to mine. They are total duplicates in all respects. I have allowed server access to my server by their support manager and they can’t see the issue either.

    They also don’t think it should be a WordPress Version change issue. But no one is finding the problem. That is when they suggested I come to you. If I had not seen it accomplished on video, I would scrap the whole thing and start all over.

    The site is at: https://delbertashby.com if you care to look at it. I currently have the Title/Subtitle in place in the dashboard locations so it overwrites the graphics.

    Thanks for any further help you can be.

    as @chrisfromthelc already suggested, if you apply some CSS to the title and description, they should move off screen;

    example – pretty much like the suggestion in the Codex https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Designing_Headers#Hiding_the_Header_Text:

    #header_left h1 { text-indent: -9999px; }
#header_left .description { text-indent: -9999px; }

    for example add the CSS via the CSS section of the jetpack plugin which you are already using; or use a ‘custom CSS’ plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css

    Thanks for the followup and confirmation. I will give it a try next week and let you know the result. I see the possibilities for a solution using this.
