Hiding Site Title & Tagline in Header

When posting a question, it is always helpful to include a link to your site so we can examine it directly. Thanks.

CrouchingBruin thank you for the helpful hint.

Add this rule to your custom CSS to make the line go away:

.site-description:after {
    border: none;
}

I am sorry to be such a newbie. I tried to copy and paste the code with no luck. Do I write exactly as it appears?

CrouchingBruin – I think I got it with the line … thank you. Now the next thing I notice is that in my About Me page (which I have set as static) the word “Edit” appears below the text. When I look at the page from the Dashboard and check the text I wrote – it doesn’t appear there … but does on the live site.

The word Edit is a link that allows you to edit the page. It only appears if you are logged on as an Administrator/Editor, it won’t appear to your visitors. You can check this by logging off of your site and refreshing the page.

Thank you again kind sir. It was remembering to clear my cache that did it. It kept showing when I would visit the site, hence the question. You have been a huge help. Sending all the best.

Hello,
Please mark this topic resolved.

Thanks.

Hi-I’m a WordPress novice – usually use GoDaddy templates and NOT a coder, but I have the same problem as sharsf, where I have that darned line in my website. https://www.traderman.us. We STILL have to get all the verbiage in there, but for a NON-CODER, can you help me out and let me know what I have to do (and how I get to it) to also remove that same line? Thanks!

Nipper, first you need to install a CSS plugin like Jetpack, Custom CSS Manager, or Simple CSS. After you’ve done that, then you want to copy & paste this rule into the plugin’s custom CS field:

.site-description:after {
    border: none;
}

How you locate that field depends upon which plugin you install. If you use Custom CSS Manager, for example, you would go to Appearance → Custom CSS Manager.

Do not make changes to any of the theme’s files using Appearance → Editor. Otherwise, your changes will be lost the next time you update/upgrade the theme.

Thank you CrouchingBruin. I really appreciate your help!!

Hi Crouching Brain – The line is now out of the image – thank you very much!! One more question re: traderman.us.

When you log in, it goes straight to the blogroll – which is fine – under tradrman.us. I also took out a few pages – just need this short and sweet – but not sure how to create a HOME tab in the navigation bar that will link back to the original traderman.us address with the blogroll. I would be very grateful for tips on how to do that – couldn’t quite get there on my own. Thanks!

Actually – I figured it out – never mind! ??

Greetings .. My Website is https://www.615Lawyer.com running Picomole (Picolight) and I am unable to hide the site title using the CSS code provided. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

@gangelop, this is the support section for the BlogSixteen theme. You should post your question on the Picolight support forum, because the CSS that works for one theme will probably not work for another theme.

You can try adding this CSS by going to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS:

.pages .title {
   display: none;
}
