Combining site logo and title

    Like so much of Ander’s work, this theme is beautiful. I would, however, like to have both the text site name & description *not* automatically hidden when a “site logo” was added. Ideally I would like the same kind of effect as you see on Automattic’s Ryu theme: a picture (in Ryu’s case, the admin’s gravatar), with the site title and the description underneath it.

    I imagine that the theme hides the title and description when a site title is set. Is there any CSS that would override that, so that we could have both? Some themes can a toggle in the customisation settings, so you can chose this. I wonder if this theme may be able to go that route?

    This issue was raised here in the past, with no response. That thread has been closed, which is why I have opened a new one.

    Hi @rossjamesparker,

    If I built the theme today, I would show both the title and the description unless the “Display Site Title and Tagline” checkbox is unchecked, even when a logo is updated. However, Lovecraft was built before the checkbox was added, and changing that behavior now would result in a lot of users having their headers change unexpectedly, so leaving it as-is seems like the best of two pretty bad options.

    The site title and description elements aren’t output at all when a logo is set, so you can’t set them to be visible in CSS.

    Hi @anlino –

    Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I understand the situation now. I guess I will have to wait for Lovecraft 2.0 someday.

    Your theme design is fantastic – thank you for making such high quality work available.
