Multicolor blog title

I think this should work:

edit the theme’s header.php, look for where the site name h1 is specified:

<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

change it to

<h1><a href="https://your.url">jo<span="white">e</span>blogs</a></h1>

Then specify the colours in your style.css

h1 {color: #da8d9d;}
h1.white {color: #fff;}

this idea will exchange any character ‘e’ in your blog title and wrap it into a span with the style: color:white;
using the php function: str_replace().
first step:

<?php $blog_title = get_bloginfo('name');
//loads the blog title into a variable//
$blog_title = str_replace('e','<span style="color:#fff;">e</span>',$blog_title);
//replaces 'e' and surrounds it with a span with color white//
?>

second step:
output the new title echo $blog_title; instead of bloginfo('name');.

so, in your ‘header.php’ find this:

<div id="headerimg">
<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>
     <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

<?php } else { ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>

<?php } ?></div>

change it to this:

<div id="headerimg">

<?php $blog_title = get_bloginfo('name');
$blog_title = str_replace('e','<span style="color:#fff;">e</span>',$blog_title); ?>

<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>
     <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php echo $blog_title; ?></a></h1>

<?php } else { ?>
      <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php echo $blog_title; ?></a>

<?php } ?></div>

hope it works ??

Above method should work fine. But if you wish to use a more generic function which adds span enclosure based on word count you can use my solution here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/319937?replies=4

Hi guys, thank you all so much for your advice. I am a complete amateur at this. It did seem very compicated to me and I’m sure it’s very easy once you know what you’re doing but I think I’ve managed it now! Thanks again ??
