Hiding Site Title While Still Keeping Tagline

  • Hi there! I am currently running Penscratch theme on my blog and I need help hiding the site title while still keeping the tagline. I would also like to move my tagline below my header photo, right above my menu. I know I need to add code in CSS to make this happen, but under what category in the CSS Stylesheet? If someone could please explain I would really appreciate it. I’m super new at this, so it would be helpful if someone could break it down.

    Thank you!

  • Hello @hayleehula,

    To hide site title you need add download Jetpack’s Custom Css plugin here is the link: https://jetpack.com/support/custom-css/plugin or Catch Web tools plugin here is the link: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/catch-web-tools/installation/ and add following code in Appearance =>Customize => Custom Css

    .site-title {
    display: none;
}

    To add tagline above menu you need to make child theme.
    Here is the link to make child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

    Hi there,

    To achieve this, you need to hide the site title and tagline, displaying above the header image. You can hide them using CSS. Open style.css file of the theme, you will find it in the root folder.

    Find:
    .site-branding

    and insert display:none within the parenthesis.

    NOTE: this will hide the site title and tagline both from the section above the header image.

    To display the tagline below the header image, insert
    <h2 class="site-description">Just a girl documenting her journey as she creates her Neverland.</h2>
    below the header image link. Don’t know the exact file but probably you will find the code in header.php file of your theme.

    Hope this will help you.

    Have a great day!

    Thanks.

    Hi @hayleehula,

    It is not recommended to change core files, using plugins and child theme is the proper way.

    @sweta,

    I have made a child theme, but I am confused on how I change the code within the theme. Should I copy the code from Penscratch and save it in my child theme stylesheet? I am still figuring out how it all works.

    Hi hayleehula,

    I just checked your website and it looks fine, i am glad you follwed my advise and created child theme if you have used this code:

    <h2 class="site-description">Just a girl documenting her journey as she creates her Neverland.</h2>

    for tagline use the following code as above code will display static string:
    <h2 class="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>

    Regards,
    Sweta
