   I have recently started a WordPress blog and one of their themes. The theme has the words "BLOG TITLE" at the top left of the page.

   Can anybody please tell me how I can edit this to the title of the blog i.e. "diary4life"

   Regards

   Go to Admin/Settings/General and ensure you have entered both a site title and a tagline.

   I've checked that and it's all in place but still no change.

   The words "Blog Title" are actually an image. Do you want to replace this image with another? Or get rid of the image and simply have a plain text title? If it's the latter, can you drop a copy of your theme's header.php file into the WordPress pastebin?

   I've managed to hide the logo with the following addition

   display:none;

   However, now i need to know how to add text for the blog title.

   Any ideas?

   Regards

   Not a good idea at this stage.

   As I said previously, can you drop a copy of your theme's header.php file into the WordPress pastebin?

   And can you now post a link to that file in the pastebin?

   I'm not too sure what you mean!

    When you post a file into the pastebin, it provides you with a link to that file. You have to post that link here to that people can go and see your file.

    Yay! That's it! Now that I have a copy of your header code and I can make/suggest changes for you depending on what you actually want.

    Do you want to replace the "Blog Title" image with another image that you've made?

    Or get rid of the image completely and simply have a plain text title?

    Can anybody please help me with this issue?

    The words 'Blog Title' appear as an image at the top of my blog and for the time being I would like to replace the image with some text i.e. the actual title of the Blog.

    Maybe later I will insert my own image!

    I've tried a 'no display', however Esmi has suggested this is not good practice. Has anybody got a ideas that are good practive?

    Regards

    Paul
