Tagline wrong on all pages but Home page

When changes occur to your website, “for no apparent reason”, one cause could be a conflicting plugin. Have you tried disabling plugins?

The only plugin I’m running is the WP backup to Dropbox. I did, however, deactivate it to check but it didn’t change anything.

In the pages with the problem, your site title is no longer in a <h1> heading, but a <div>. Resolve this back to <h1>.

Okay…how? This is the only thing I found to change regarding the header:

/* =Header
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

#site-title {
	float:center;
	font-size: 36px;
	line-height: 18px;
	font-family: 'Open Baskerville', ModernAntiqua, Gentium, 'Old Standard', serif;
	font-style: italic;
	font-weight: bold;
	letter-spacing:-1px;
	padding-top:1px;
	padding-left: 175px;
	width:500px;
}

#site-title a:link, #header a:visited {
	color: #000000;
	text-decoration: none;
}
#site-title a:hover { color: #6BA2DB; }

#site-description {
	clear: both;
	float: left;
	color:#000000;
	font-size: 18px;
	font-family: ModernAntiqua, 'Open Baskerville', Gentium, 'Old Standard', serif;
	margin:0 0 0 300px;
	width:310px;
}

What and where are ‘divs’?

Are you familiar with HTML?

somebody added invalid code into style.css:

/* =Reset default browser CSS. Based on work by Eric Meyer: https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/index.html
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="https://openfontlibrary.org/face/modernantiqua" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="https://openfontlibrary.org/face/old-standard" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="https://openfontlibrary.org/face/open-baskerville" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="https://openfontlibrary.org/face/gentium" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,

all these <link ..> codes need to be removed again.

then add for instance margin-bottom: 20px; to the style of #site-title

btw: the change from h1 to div is a design feature of Twenty Ten on which this theme is based.

The code was what I was told to do to add the different font style instead of the plain Verbena, etc. styles. I wanted something a little fancier but would still be readable with older systems. If I have to remove them, where do I change the font because nothing worked before?

So by adding a bottom margin to the title, it lowers the line height between the title and the tagline?

I knew the theme was based on Twenty Ten but a lot of the themes seem to have ‘div’ in their coding. I can follow good directions and have an idea about css and html but not enough to rewrite anything without help.

he code belongs into header.php, somewhere after the other <link ...styleheet ...> codes, before </head>.

yes; just edit the #site-title style as suggested.

that is absolutely fine as it is – no need to change anything there.

It works! Thank you for your help. If you don’t mind, I have another question about font sizing. Right now, I am using the paragraph-header sizing in the text box on the edit page and it’s a pain. How do I manipulate text sizing for the main content box as well as something like the page menu on the sidebar? I don’t want to mess anything up again.
