No option to turn off header text

  • I’ve upgraded to Lifestyle Pro theme – about the same time that WP upgraded itself about three times, so I’m not sure what is attributable to what – and I no longer have the option to turn off the header text. The only way to not have this ugly text across my header image is to delete those fields’ contents (in the General Settings) altogether, and then it doesn’t display in the browser title, either (obviously).

    The help SAYS that I can turn it off in the “header text” section (and of course I used to be able to do so), but there is no such section.

  • Hi there! ??

    Assuming it is the website linked in your username:

    <div class="title-area"> is where the header title along with the site description is being generated and if you are unable to modify the header because the theme doesn’t come with the additional header customization, then you can do something like this by either creating a Child theme and overriding the CSS (recommended) or directly editing your theme’s CSS file directly (which may later get overwritten if there is a theme update):

    .title-area {
   display: none;
}

    will make the title and the description in your header disappear.

    have you contacted the theme’s developer for support with your question?

    I haven’t yet, alchymyth, because I started from the header settings page itself. That page says:

    In the Header Text section of this page, you can choose whether to display this text or hide it. You can also choose a color for the text by clicking the Select Color button and either typing in a legitimate HTML hex value, e.g. “#ff0000” for red, or by choosing a color using the color picker.

    And right beside that it says:

    And links here. So I came here.

    I wasn’t sure if that checkbox in the dashboard was a theme setting or inherent to WordPress. It makes sense for it to be inherent to WordPress; it seems pretty basic to be able to tell the site to show that or not.

    But I will be contacting StudioPress, too.

    Oops; sorry, EMG – I meant to also say thank you for the code snippet; I’ll try that! (Although someone somewhere still needs to get that checkbox put back!) It’s already a child theme, so I should be good to go. ??

    Hi again! ??

    Hopefully that works for you. One other thing, too: sometimes funny things can happen – plugins freezing, functions in themes not working, etc – after an upgrade so if the theme says that there is literally a customize header option related to your theme and you can’t find it/it’s disabled, always try disabling your theme and re-enabling it and disabling plugins.

    Good luck!
