Remove Blog Header Text

  • Ok. I’ve searched through the forums but I never really got a great answer for this.

    Here is my site: Christian2.0. I want to remove the header text that comes with the theme. It is grey and says Christian2.0 right above the red tab that says “A Challenge”.

    The link is gone on the home page because I found this code “#header h1 { display:none }” and it removed the header display from the main page, but not the additional pages or posts. if you click on any other post or page you see a subtle Christian2.0 shown.

    The problem is, I don’t want to remove it completely though. I’m worried that it may impact my sites search engine rankings if I remove it completely.

    Can anyone offer me some advice on how to change this on my style sheet?

    Thanks.
    Matt

    Ok. So I removed this from my header.php

    <h2>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h2>

    But this just removes it. If you have a suggestion as to how I can leave it in there but make it invisible, I’m still listening.

    Am I making things up by thinking removing this will hurt my page rank? I think I am.

    Not clear on what you are saying. YOu should be able to just delete the text and have it blank. If it is showing on your other pages, it is because you need to make this change in the correct place like under a main area where you first entered it. (Don’t remember where that is.) Another option is open you CSS and make the header like 2.0 the same color as the background. White on white. Then is won’t be noticeable.

    No, I’m going beyond that.

    If I simply remove the name Christian2.0 as my blog title, It won’t show up on the top of the page in the browser (above https://yadayadayada.example). And my header is a work in progress, but it won’t be a solid color.

    I’m “assuming” you figured this out because I didn’t see any gray text like you refer to on any page. The simplest way – if you want to leave the php intact – is to change the color of that text on the style sheet to the color that matches the background. If I could SEE the text it would be easy enough to say what the class is with Firebug. Removing the php tag won’t affect your search results – you meta data does that with whatever keywords you list.

    As for removing the Christian 2.0 … that depends on the template. It looks like that design is built into the header. If so you would have to design a new header from scratch of similar dimensions to replace it. I can see that your header area is made of two separate containers. The very top is div #topheader, and the lower (the area immediately above that red link you mentioned) is div #logo. If you look in your style sheet for that code, you should be able to change the text color to render it invisible, while still retained the bloginfo php code.

    Interesting blog, by the way – I may drop by from time to time.

    ya i kinda got it figured out.

    i’ve redesigned the header image and stuff, and in the process stumbled onto the code that controlled the gray text i referred to earlier. I just deleted the line of code that inserted that bit.

    i’m probably still screw around with the design for a few more days, but i’m really starting to like the layout.

    i hope you do drop by from time to time. and thanks for the help.
