Custom Tagline

For help with CSS, you need to post a link to your site. And also note that bumping your thread the first time is another likely reason you did not get a reply –

My site: https://poolbyhobson.com

My apologizes on bumping, I didn’t know that.

Okay, this seems to work – tried it on a test site of mine:

For the tagline part use:

<span class="tl-first-letter">P</span>ool's <span class="tl-first-letter">O</span>fficial <span class="tl-first-letter">O</span>bjective <span class="tl-first-letter">L</span>iterature

and then under custom CSS, add:

.tl-first-letter {
   color: black;
   font-weight: bold;
}

I’m having difficulty placing the html into my child them. Everytime I put it in the .php file, I have to revert back to the old copy as it breaks my site. Have a code snippet I can use for this?

This is the code I built to try to implement the span tags:

add_filter('tc_tagline_class', 'html_tagline');
function html_tagline() {
     $html_tagline= '<span class="tl-first-letter">P</span>ool's <span class="tl-first-letter">O</span>fficial <span class="tl-first-letter">O</span>bjective <span class="tl-first-letter">L</span>iterature!';

     $html_tagline = ( $html_tagline ) ? : $html_tagline;

     return $html_tagline;
}

What am I doing wrong?

Well,

$html_tagline = ( $html_tagline ) ? : $html_tagline;

this should be a ternary operator, but you didn’t use it correctly, and honestly don’t understand what it means. Google for the ternary operator to understand what you have to use it.
Also that filter is to change the css class of the tagline.
To change the whole tagline you can use this snippet’s structure:

I’ve been playing with that one too. If you look at my post where you helped me with the footer, I just updated my status. I’ll reiterate here as the two are connected.

In trying to implement the above in the .php file. My site broke. So I reverted back to my old .php which contained just the code to edit the footer. However, now just that code doesn’t want to work either when it has been working fine since then (about two weeks). I’m at a loss for words for why this is happening. Thankfully, I have enough common sense to have been able to revert back to just the parent theme.

I made that code based on the code you provided to help me with my footer credits. Thinking that it was the same concept–overwrite the current. It’s oh so obvious that I’m new to all this and I’ve spent weeks googling trying to figure things out on my own to save all of you the time of helping me with basics.

My goal is to add the span tags to the tagline so I can change the color of the first letter as WPyogi was helping me above.

Thanx for all the help!

Furthermore, I tried using that snippet and removing the a href parts to get things to work and it did. However, that’s the piece of code that I added into the .php file that now rendered my child theme inert, unless I revert to the parent theme.

Here’s what I tried:

add_filter( 'tc_tagline_display' , 'my_link_in_tagline');

function my_link_in_tagline() {
 global $wp_current_filter;
 ?>
 <?php if ( !in_array( '__navbar' , $wp_current_filter ) )  :?>
 <div class="container outside">
         <h2 class="site-description">
          <?php echo html_entity_decode(get_bloginfo('description')); ?>
         </h2>

     </div>
 <?php else : //when hooked on __navbar ?>
 <h2 class="span7 inside site-description">
             <?php echo html_entity_decode(get_bloginfo('description')); ?>
         </h2>

 <?php endif; ?>
 <?php
}

It did work. But, breaks the child theme. Could there be some conflict with the childify me plugin because I don’t understand how everything displays perfectly and affects my ability to log in?

Full functions.php file:

<?php
add_filter('tc_credit_link', 'my_credits');
function my_credits(){
    $my_credits= '<br /> &middot; <a href="https://poolbyhobson.com/contact">Contact</a>&nbsp;·&nbsp;<a 

href="https://poolbyhobson.com/affiliate-disclosure">Affiliate Disclosure</a>&nbsp;·&nbsp;<a href="https://poolbyhobson.com/privacy-

policy">Privacy Policy</a>'; /*or leave it blank with '' */
    $my_credits_link = ''; /* or leave it blank with '' */

    $my_credits = ( $my_credits_link && $my_credits ) ? '<a href="'.$my_credits_link.'">'.$my_credits.'</a> ' : $my_credits;
    $my_credits = ( $my_credits ) ? '· ' . $my_credits . ' ·' : ' &middot;';

    return $my_credits;
}
add_filter( 'tc_tagline_display' , 'my_link_in_tagline');

function my_link_in_tagline() {
 global $wp_current_filter;
 ?>
 <?php if ( !in_array( '__navbar' , $wp_current_filter ) )  :?>
 <div class="container outside">
         <h2 class="site-description">
          <?php echo html_entity_decode(get_bloginfo('description')); ?>
         </h2>

     </div>
 <?php else : //when hooked on __navbar ?>
 <h2 class="span7 inside site-description">
             <?php echo html_entity_decode(get_bloginfo('description')); ?>
         </h2>

 <?php endif; ?>
 <?php
}

I tried my full php file again and it’s working. We shall see if it stays that way.
