I'm using WordPress on the Internet only to post to a client's blog. I'm pasting my copy into WordPress and saving it. That all works fine. But the title of the post seems to default to a hyperlink, which the client doesn't want. We just want it to be plain text. Can you tell me how to do this, bearing in mind that I'm a writer, not very technical and are very new to WordPress? I have no idea what version I'm using, but it's not installed on my PC, just posting to it on the Internet version.

Hi,
This shouldn't be too hard to do even if you are not that technically minded, or a WordPress expert!. Simply edit your current themes header.php file under the Appearance => Editor menu. You need to remove the <a> tag surrounding the blog title.
For example in the default theme, find this code in header.php
<div id="headerimg">
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
and replace with
<div id="headerimg">
<h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
Hope that helps!
Best wishes,
David

Hi,
Thanks for the the reply. I think I didn't give enough information. I'm not using the WordPress software per se. I go to my client's website and get access to a screen that allows me to type in a title and then paste in my copy. I'm a writer. Then I click Save and the title and pasted copy appear in the site's blog. What I'm working with is a form outside of WordPress, I think. I think the site must have been created with WordPress and this is just a feature under "Site Admin." I don't think I can put code in the Title field. I think it will just accept text.

Ok, well you need to have administrator privileges on the WordPress site to be able to change themes code.
