How to change my blog’s title and description (checked settings)

  • I posted this in the wrong forum so I’ve posted it here (sorry about that)

    I’m new to WordPress and just installed my theme this morning. The problem is my blog’s title and description didn’t change automatically. I checked the settings and the fields show my blog title and description but the theme’s header doesn’t reflect it. I’ve been tinkering inside the header.php file attempting to change it myself (after reading through some ideas, but no-luck). I’m pasting the header.php code below int he hopes that someone can help me–PLEEEEAASE. And thanks so much. My blog’s title is: Global Topiks. and the description is: events. discuss them.(should I include the css style sheet here?)

  • Hi

    In this code

    <body>
<?php include TEMPLATEPATH. '/templates/header.html'; ?>
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> ? Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title> ]

    this line
    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> ? Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title> ]

    does not belong, at all, within the body tag. Is it possible in your attempts to fix your problem that you unintentionally messed up the code in header.php?

    keep the version that is there now saved under a different name, but I suggest you upload a new copy of your theme’s header.php file

    The code you posted, by the way, ends before where the code in header.php should end – perhaps that is part of the problem – its not all there.

    Also, when you post long segments of code its preferred that you do so in a pastebin and link to the pastebin URL in your post –
