Novice-Ho do you replace theme title

  • I am new to the world of html and wordpress, I just downloaded Parchment and the header has Parchment Theme there and I do not know how to replace it. I see several themes have the title in header, there must be a way to put your own content in that space.

    Thank you,
    Debbie

  • use this code to replace the current title <?php bloginfo('name');?>, this should show your blog title.

    Thanks for responding. I do see that phrase several times, so do I replace every (‘name’) with my blog name. Sorry to be a pest, but I am very new at this.

    I see! no you don’t need to change anything in your files, just login to your dashboard then go to setting -> general then change your blog title and tagline if you wish.

    Thanks again for responding, however, I did that and it still doesn’t work. I had no trouble with some other themes, but this is one is confusing. The words Parchment Theme stay on page and my title doesn’t show up anywhere.

    i doubt its called properly in your theme. could you post here your header.php content. we’ll see

    This is the header info, my site is patchworkincome.com, I tried to insert but had issues so guessed I had not placed it correctly. I would like to learn how to do more with this, just haven’t found a resource yet.
    Thanks again

    <h1>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>

    i don’t think that greater than sign after double quote next to <h1> is necessary to appear there, is it really there? remove that.

    anyway, parchment theme there is an image, go to your style.css try to cut this code:

    background-image: url(https://patchworkincome.com/wp-content/themes/parchment/images/logo.gif);

    then paste it in a notepad in case you need to take it back. then save and run the theme.

    when you’re trying to display a code you need to put backticks (usually located before 1 key) at the start and end of code.

    Thanks for taking the time to help me. I think this is a bit over my head, tried to do some of what you suggested but still have no luck removing the words Parchment Theme, I really like the font and placement, just wish I could put my title there.

    Thanks again for helping. I really appreciate your time spent.

    The words Parchment Theme is not text – it’s a graphics file, so you can’t use the font to write your own title. It’s like if you had a photo of a road sign. Sorry for such an exaggerated example, just trying to be explain clearly… ??

    To get your own title in this theme, you would need to generate your own graphics file to replace this one: logo.gif
