I can’t get blog title to show in header – php help?

  • I am trying to upload this theme to my wordpress blog:

    https://www.free-wordpress-theme.net/2009/09/vees-halloween-theme/

    I have done everything as normal, and the theme works fine, EXCEPT, I cannot get the header to say anything other than “Halloween Theme”. It won’t say the name of my blog. I have changed the blog name several times in the “General” panel, and I’ve disabled all my plugins, but to no avail. I am certain it’s something wrong with the header.php or one of the other templates, but I can’t figure out what. Can anybody help?

    Here is the script from the header.php

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<?php
	eval(str_rot13('shapgvba purpx_s_sbbgre(){vs(!(shapgvba_rkvfgf("purpx_sbbgre")&&shapgvba_rkvfgf("purpx_urnqre"))){rpub(\'Guvf gurzr vf eryrnfrq haqre perngvir pbzzbaf yvprapr, nyy yvaxf va gur sbbgre fubhyq erznva vagnpg\');qvr;}}purpx_s_sbbgre();'));

  • Can anybody help?

    Maybe, but a link to your site would certainly help…

    the title is an image (logo.png):

    <div id="header">

<div id="description">
<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"/></a></div>

</div>

    you could either edit that image,
    or change the whole code section into something like:

    <div id="header">
<div id="description">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<span><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>

    and then style it in style.css:

    #description h1 { whatever-title-formatting; }
#description span { whatever-descrption-formatting; }

    good luck, let us know how you get on ??
