Hide Site Title

  • Can I hide my site title? I don’t want it to appear in white as it does currently as I have embedded text on my featured image. I originally had left the Site Title blank but I figured that might mean the title of my blog wouldn’t be searchable?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there, Carla – it looks as though your site title is no longer part of your home page. Am I right?

    If you still want to change the color of your site title, have a look at this thread:

    and this article:

    Let us know if this helps!

  • Thanks! I’m not even sure I remember what I finally did to get rid of it! But, I’ll have to check out the thread you suggested for future reference. I’ve found I evidently have a steeper learning curve here than I thought!

  • lol, well, welcome to the journey! there are lots of resources and friendly people here to support you on whatever part of the “rabbit hole” you would like to explore! :)

  • Hi Cat, I don’t suppose you could help me with something else?

    One of my sidebars has moved to below the other one and I don’t know why or how to move it back. [the posts are on the far left and then there were 2 columns of widgets. Now the farthest right column of widgets is displaying below the other widget column that was in the middle.

  • Hi Carla – Happy to give it a shot!

    My hunch is that you are viewing your site in a browser on a smaller device such as a laptop, tablet or phone and you are witnessing the responsive nature of the theme as it re-orients the sidebars to display well for the device.

    If you look at the site on a desktop/full width browser, does the issue of

    “the farthest right column of widgets is displaying below the other widget column that was in the middle”

    persist?

  • Hi there,

    Sidebars and widgets in them do not fall to the bottom and display below posts and/or posts do not appear in sidebars unless

    (1) content has been imported into the blog

    (2) the blogger has been copying and pasting content from elsewhere, without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

    (3) or the blogger has copied and pasted invalid HTML into a text widget or left an HTML tag open

    After you go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
    Formatting
    _ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
    “save changes”

  • @catscholz
    Thanks for the invite to join your private blog. I’m overstretched and will not be accepting it or any invitations.

  • understood, @timethief! nice to see you and hear your voice again – like your new pic, too!

    I answer questions here while multitasking from my business and I also practice my music as I answer questions. I sing a lot. I’m involved in 3 different groups and I don’t have time to add anything else to my life. Thanks for understanding. :)

  • Hi Cat,

    Thanks for taking a crack at this! I am viewing on a laptop, but I know that when you’re editing.. there are 3 icons which i thought were for computer, pad device, and cell phone, but I see that the “computer” one you’re saying is for a desktop. I’ve been so good about confirming how the images would look on all 3 devices, but never realized there isn’t one for laptops.

    I do know however, that when I first viewed it, I could see all 3 “columns” and now I can’t. I saw on some forum that it could mean the image posted with a post could be too big, so I changed to a “smaller” image. But that didn’t correct it. [the other day i found a way to view my blog as if i were someone else viewing it, but of course I can’t find that again!]

    I looked at the 3 links timethief included and they don’t apply. I haven’t imported any content (no idea what icons 5 and 6 are) and I don’t do anything/know anything about html.

    I’ll see if I can get a friend who has a desktop to take a look. Thanks for your help!

  • PS Beautiful version of Hallelujah!

  • @timethief – we are lucky to have you here on the forums, thanks! you must have some “mad” multi-tasking skills to be able to practice music while answer forums questions! :)

    Carla – thank you for listening and appreciating! :)

    This is what I see on my wide desktop (iMac): http://grab.by/OLCW

    When I size my browser down to about 1250 pixels wide, this is what I see: http://grab.by/OLD6 and the far right sidebar content moves below the 1st right sidebar content in a really nice way.

    Hope this helps!
