My blog title will not come up automatically in header. Preloaded title is there

  • I am using ther Cool Blue theme. The title of my blog did not plug into the theme and show up in the header. The title up there is “Word Press Blog”. I don’t know how to change it to my title. I’m not sure where in the template files to change this….Header.php, Theme functions.php or CSS. Could someone tell me where I have to make a change and in what line of code.

    Thanks

    I already have the blog title entered in there but the theme won’t read it. It keeps in the preloaded title. I think it is something more complicated.

    It might be a overkill, but you can use All in one SEO plugin to set the title of your blog home besides being able to set the META description, tags and other useful stuff.

    I just used that and typed on the blog title but it still didn’t change the blog name in my header. Could it be that the header is using a custom image with the name already preloaded?

    What’s the URL to your site?

    You could have looked at the header.php to answer your own question but no, it doesn’t. This line is what displays the blog title:

    <h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

    which is exactly as it should be. Unless you’ve modified the theme. Did you change anything?

    Sorry for not checking the header.php folder by myself. I’m just learning this stuff and I’m not good with code yet. It turns out there is some kind of category called “logo” which is a jpg file that the blog name points to. I couldn’t figure out how to remove this category completely, but I was able to manually type in the name to the blog. Because I did it this way the title does not link to the homepage anymore so I will need to change it at some point when I figure out how to.

    Thanks for your help.
