Want to change the way Simplicity theme tagline displays

It should be easy to alter the style of the div containing the tagline. Can you post a link to your site so we can help you?

jrav001,

Many thanks, my site is:

jrav001,

I’m wondering if you have been able to logon to my site. As far as I know, it is running normally. Thanks!

Hi there,

I’ve been wrestling with this issue for a while (too long, to be honest)and wish somebody could help me solve it. So far, I’ve managed to change the position of the header title by adding the following line

text-align: center;

to the this line in the css file below:

#header h1, #header h1 a, #header h1 a:hover, #header h1 a:visited, #header .description {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

The problem is, I want to change the tagline, not the title. Any one?

Thanks!

I can’t see any text-align:center; on:

#header h1, #header h1 a, #header h1 a:hover, #header h1 a:visited, #header .description {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Hi esmi,

I did it on my test site (localhost) to see what would happen. I don’t want to mess up my public website. Once I’m sure it works, I’ll make the definitive changes.

I’ve now managed to change the font size of the tagline by changing it from 1.2em to 1.05em in the following line in the css file:

#headertitle .description {font-size: 1.05em; }

I tried to center it, but nothing happened. Another failed attempt. I have now made the changes to my public website, in case you want to see the result.

By the way, I’m wondering why people seem to suggest/comment/ask once and then do not follow through until the problem is solved (for instance, jrav001, esmi). Is there a rule in this forum that doesn’t allow members to communicate more than once?

It will work.

what you mean?

In my previous message I said:

I tried to center it, but nothing happened. Another failed attempt.

What I meant is that I failed in trying to change the tagline display to something like this:

“Prohibition is an attempted cure
that makes matters worst for both
the addict and the rest of us.”

Adding text-align: center; to #header h1, #header h1 a, #header h1 a:hover, #header h1 a:visited, #header .description will centre the header text – which is what you asked for.

What you suggest is exactly what I mentioned I did in my fifth message above (the one on which you commented you couldn’t find in my public website). I’ve now learned that I can center it and change the font (as mentioned in my messages). What I haven’t been able to do is to rearrange the way the tagline displays (example above).
