Untitled Subscription – RSS Issue

  • I use various WP themes, and the only way I can get titles to show up is to go to Options / Blog Title. I have this blank temporarily, but I know I have to put it back up once I solve this issue (with your help).

    So, with the Blog Title / Description filled in, it shows up on top of my header graphic (ugly). How can I remove it from public view without changing the rss php files or any other core files (which would need eventual upgrading)?

    What do I need to look for in the theme files (css, header, etc.)? What do I remove or change? How do I make it disappear on the actual site, but appear in my RSS feeds when people subscribe?

    Are there detailed instructions on this? I see mixed posts, most about altering RSS core files… eeek!

  • It depends on the theme you are using. In the default theme, this is the call for the blog title and description:

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

    If you want it to not display on screens, just put it in a div who’s display attribute is set to none in a css file that is called for screens.

    That’s the exact code. I just commented it out in the header, but it’s not showing in my rss feed. I had a few friends check, and it shows for one person (on a mac, using safari) and it doesn’t show for anyone else. It still says “untitled subscription.”

    If I leave it in there, take off the comment marks <-- --> where do I adjust the css? I am not 100% on css attributes. It’s a pretty standard theme, so it should be the same as the default I think for the display option.

    Thanks in advance!

    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    is in the theme header.php (in the head)

    and

    <div id="blog_title"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></div>
<div id="blog_moto"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>

    is in the theme header.php (in the body)

    The body is the one commented out, the top code (in the head) is not commented out.

    My reader.google.com still shows “untitled document” and my WP Options shows a Blog Title of: Arie’s World. I left description blank.

    The most basic way to accomplish this is to add the following to the bottom of your css file in your theme.

    #blog_title {
display:none
}
#blog_moto {
display:none
}

    Uncomment your title and moto and try that.
