    Hello, I just purchased a theme called superclean, and I can't figure out how to change the title from reading "clean theme, just another wordpress blog"
    I've looked all over editor for where that could be, but I just don't know and the merchant won't help either.
    Anyone with this experience?

    thanks

    'dashboard' 'settings' 'general'

    some themes use a graphic as title (and tagline)

    thanks for replying but I don't think that's it. Everything reads the way I want it to, tagline and site title. Where else can I go?

    If you purchased the Theme, have you tried consulting the support offerings of the Theme vendor?

    have you checked, if the title is done with a graphic?

    if you post a link to your site, someone might have a look...

    I have tried many times to ask the vendor and they have been very uncooperative. They said just go into header.php and that they don't give support and then they just ignore my emails.
    I think it probably is something I could easily change, and it probably is a graphic. I just don't know where to go.

    but i suppose good learning experience for me.

    I can't find them on the WordPress.org Commercial Themes page.

    Have they perhaps been removed from that listing?

    Oh, I guess I was looking in so many different places, I lost track of where I found them. They are online, just not under the wordpress commercial page (sorry).
    Anyway, I think I just need to fidget with changing the images... I forget how to do that. Would I need to upload an image into the media library and put it into the header...?

    It really depends on the Theme functionality and template files.

    The downside of using a commercial Theme is that we can't really help you, because we don't have access to the Theme files - which is why it is imperative to understand the support that is included with such a purchase.

    That said: have you tried the WordPress settings:

    Dashboard -> Settings -> General ->

    - Site Title
    - Tagline

    Yes I have tried, thank you Chip. I will see if I can study the theme files, or get more support from templatesold, and in future purchase from people who support inexperienced people like myself.
    thanks anyway for your time.

    the logo is an image:
    /wp-content/themes/superclean/superclean/images/logo.gif

    defined in style.css, in:
    .logo h1 { background: url(images/logo.gif) top no-repeat; float:left; text-indent:-9999px; width:205px; margin:0; padding:0; }

    you have at least two possibilities:
    a:
    download the image, edit it to show your own site title, and re-upload it to the same location, kkeping the same name.

    b:
    changing the above style to:
    .logo h1 { float:left; width:205px; margin:0; padding:0; }
    which will get the title to show; then tweak the formatting.

    btw:
    try removing this from header.php:

    <Holistic Health Coaching>
    HolisticCoach.ca-
    Holistic Health Coaching</HolisticCoach.ca>

    or change it to:

    <title>HolisticCoach.ca-
    Holistic Health Coaching</title>
