Tagline on Title Page

[Rachel]

Is there a way to make a tagline under the website title? I want to put the owner of the company’s name and contact information under the main title (where it says “Asteria” in the sample). Can this be done?

Open up head4.php and replace this:

			<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>   
            <h1><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) );?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
            <?php }else{ ?>
            <h2><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) );?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h2>
            <?php } ?>

with this:

			<?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>   
            <h1><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) );?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div class="desc"><?php bloginfo('description')?></div>
            <?php }else{ ?>
            <h2><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) );?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h2>
<div class="desc"><?php bloginfo('description')?></div>
            <?php } ?>

Go to Appearance> Editor and select heade4.php from right.

Tjek! Got it – however i’m not smart enough to make the tag-font visible (needs to be white, somewhat bigger and bold) up there.
Is that a Pro-function, i suppose ?

Thanks for info here 🙂

add this to your Custom CSS:

.desc{color:white; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;}

Thank you for Asteria Lite! I tried your head4.php replacement (copy & paste) to get the tagline to show on the front page but it doesn’t work for me. I also tried (copy & paste) to change the color to white hoping it would show up, but there’s nothing. Our site is http://www.carmels.org/blog/. Thanks!

Sorry, I gave you the wrong address. It is http://www.carmelsc.org/blog/. Thanks.

Any ideas? I think I’ll just start over. With Asteria Lite of course, which is prettier than anything I’ve seen. I’m using a child theme of it–that wouldn’t have made a difference in the coding, would it? Seems all should have transferred over. Anyway, thanks again for creating a beautiful theme.

[Marie]

No need to respond. I got it.

FYI, I realized my original problem was that I was using WP’s Edit CSS to paste in the color change instead of Asteria Lite Options > Custom CSS (just as you say above but which my eyes never saw…) So is there a way to disable WP’s Edit CSS? Not that it matters. But what I would like to do is italicize my tagline to set it off from the title and the nav items. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks! I’m back to my original wp-asteria site, btw.

add this to your Custom CSS:

.desc{
font-style: italic;
}

[Marie]

Thank you so much! I added text-transform: capitalize; after italic; so that I wouldn’t have both the title and tagline in caps. Looks so much better! I wanted to keep the font you have for the title, but it doesn’t lowercase so I settled for Helvetica which is fine. (I’m reading the coding tutorials put out by htmldog which are funny and easy to follow.)

Hi Towfiq, Thanks a lot for your Asteria Theme!
Only one difficulty. The Tagline is not showing…
Is there a way to show the Tagline under the Title?
I’ve tried the solution you’ve posted on January 16, 2014 at 8:54 pm, but it did not work for me (replacing the code under head4.php).
I would be thankful if you could help me out…

[Towfiq I.]

@Nati whats your site address?

[Tom]

You have several additions above to change the font type (italics, bold, etc) but where do you add those into the CSS?

[Towfiq I.]

To Asteria Options> Custom CSS

I have the line now but I can’t find out to make it white. Don’t know where to put the code for white.
I also have spend many hours for this problem. Isn’t it possible to make an update, with the right programming?

[Towfiq I.]

whats your site add Michael?

[Lori]

Somehow I can’t get the tagline to start below the main title, but starts immediately after main title.
Also too much vertical space between main title and tagline. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Lori whats your site address?
