Post that code on here, your duplicated thread will be closed.
As this forum is entirely contributed by forum volunteers, it’s common for threads to be unanswered for tens of hours.
If your issue is urgent, consider hiring a developer.

It’s confusing for volunteers to follow two threads of the same issue.
Can you post the code into this thread?

Sure, here it is:

Look at the code that displays the blog title. You need to add code to display the tagline.
An example can be found on this resource

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for sharing the resource. But this is what I have seen earlier on some other threads and couldn’t find this line in my header file. I don’t know much about wordpress coding so can you please take a look at my code and explain which lines I have to edit and what I have to put in place of them.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Is this the concerned line of code:
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

I just replaced “name” with description in the above line but now blog title has disappeared from the tab and it only shows description line.

Make sure you add the code, rather than replace.
So you need something like;

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title();  bloginfo('description'); ?></title>
