Edit title tag

  • Hi,

    How can I add a title for the homepage?
    I am using the “tropical flowers” theme at latinophile.com
    I had to remove the text title in users – weblog title to add my own banner but now I have no title tags.

    I tried editing <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title> but it had no affect.

    Please advise what to do.

    Thanks

  • what are you trying to do?

    I had to remove the text title in users – weblog title to add my own banner but now I have no title tags.

    if you remove the text form General Options – Weblog title there is nothing for WordPress to display as title on your site.
    If you don’t want to display a title in your header because you rely on a banner, you can apply a hidden style to your header title class .blogtitle in style.css

    Please explain how to do this.
    I tried commenting out .blogtitle but the text (in options-weblog title) still appeared on top of the banner.

    Thank you

    do not comment out .blogtitle but add a hidden style like:

    .blogtitle {
display:none;
}

    this way the title will be invisible but still in the source of your page which is convenient for web search.

    Thanks that worked.

    A follow-up question – since this is hidden text will this affect my search engine presence as noted in Google’s guidelines

    may be, may be not..
    I have used the same approach for the site of my son, https://tijmen.brinkkemper.com and we don’t experience any problems with indexing.
