Remove 'My Tagline' from my website's homepage name?

  • Hello friendly wordpressers,
    I’m very new to all of this, and am learning as I go, building my very first website here… Got a few pages together, created a childtheme of TwentyTen to protect my edits, and have published.

    Now, when I search for my website in google search engine, my homepage shows up with the name of my website plus “I my tagline“. How can I remove that? I just want it to show up with the name of my website. I have already removed the tagline from my website, but I don’t like how it shows up in google, and yahoo…
    I want to try to make my site look a little more professional ?? any help greatly appreciated!

  • header.php:

    // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
	$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
	if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
		echo " | $site_description";

    try and remove this section

    Unfortunately I don’t have the header.php file in my child theme editor. Only the CSS style sheet. How can I get that, and the others too I assume?

    copy header.php from the parent theme into the child theme and edit it there.

    alright, got the header.php file…
    Thank you, I did remove the section you recommended, but didn’t work: the name of my website still shows up with I my tagline in google search.
    Any other idea how to remove that?
    Thanks!!

    @brittab – If you see your title as correct on your site when you browse it, then Google will likely catch up soon during their next indexing which can sometimes be a few days to a week or so.
