Why does get_bloginfo not work?

Do you have a separate footer.php file in your theme folder? I believe you should be able to find this information inside footer.php of your parent theme’s (SemPress) folder. If you have a separate footer.php as I mentioned, your copy that line into yours and it should work.

Please let me know if this answers your question.

Oh, this is a bug in the current version. Thanks for reporting. To quick fix the problem, replace the current meta-element with:

<meta itemprop="name" content="<?php echo get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ); ?>" />

I just downloaded and activated the theme. In their native footer.php there is a major mistake. It says
<meta itemprop="name" content="get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' )" />

while it should say
<meta itemprop="name" content="<?php echo get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ); ?>" />

First of all get_bloginfo returns the value but does not print it. It is used to catch the value against some variable for later use. In order to use get_bloginfo() to display something on screen immediately, we need to echo it like echo get_bloginfo('name', 'display').

Or you can just use bloginfo('name') to display it on screen immediately.

So the meta information line should be either:
<meta itemprop="name" content="<?php echo get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ); ?>" />

or

<meta itemprop="name" content="<?php bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ); ?>" />

Hope this helps.
