Italicize part of site title??

  • I’ve taken over support of a small business site, https://landesign.us. A look at the front page shows that the person who built the site has italicized the middle 6 letters of the site title, LANDesignBuild. I can not figure out how they did that. I assume it’s somewhere in the CSS?? The installed theme doesn’t give me any customization options except the text. My client would like to change the theme but retain the italics in the site title. Any suggestions??

  • Have you tried looking in the theme’s header.php file. The header is a Flash file!

    I can’t find the theme’s header.php file. All that flash code isn’t for the title and menu formatting – I commented it out to see what would go away. It’s for the photo display only. Commenting out the flash had zero effect on the title and menu format.

    I found a file which suggests that all those critical files are actually being pulled from the previous support person’s personal server! I’ll try to get the files from her, but I have no idea whether or when she’ll cooperate.

    Actually, I have now found the header.php; I don’t see anything in it that would format the site title. I did find evidence that you may be right – the header may actually be a flash file. I regret the depth of my ignorance of flash, I have never worked with it and have no tools. If it’s being done in Flash, I probably can’t duplicate it. I was hoping I could find out the name of the variable that holds the site title, and format it myself in a child theme, but I’m still looking.

    I’ve now learned that, in a non-flash site, you display the site name with this code:

    <?php bloginfo(‘name’)

    Name is one of the values in the system variable bloginfo. Is there any way for me to take the value out of that variable, reformat it with the middle letters italicized, and put it back?? Where would I do that? I’ve already tried doing it in the Settings page and it didn’t work.
