Hello there
Currently clicking on my site title links to back to the same page i.e. clevercarbuyer.com/blog
Is it possible to change this so it links to my homepage i.e. clevercarbuyer.com ?
also,
My tag line currently says:
"Looking for a BMW? We can help, please go to http://www.clevercarbuyer.com"
Is it possible to make the url a hyperlink so it links to my homepage?
many thanks for any help.
Mark
Yes, it's possible - by creating a child theme and then editing your child theme's copy of the header.php template file.

Thanks a lot.
This is really at the limits of my understanding, I don't even know what php or css is!
However, I've created twentyeleven child and within that a style.css file into which I have put this:
/*
Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child
Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme
Author: Mark Barker
Template: twentyeleven
*/
@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");
}
...and I've also created a header.php file and copied and pasted the contents of the twentyeleven header.php into it.
Is that correct? I don't know what to do now though to get my site title and tagline to have links to my homepage? Can you shed any light please?
Thanks a lot.
Edit your new child theme's header.php file and change:
<hgroup>
<h1 id="site-title"><span><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></span></h1>
<h2 id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>
</hgroup>to:
<hgroup>
<h1 id="site-title"><span><a href="http://www.clevercarbuyer.com/" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></span></h1>
<h2 id="site-description"><a href="http://www.clevercarbuyer.com/"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></a></h2>
</hgroup>

Thanks I've done that and it's saved but it doesn't seem to have changed the site title link when you click on it, which is still clevercarbuyer/blog
The tag line hasn't changed either?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Have you actually activated your child theme yet?

How do I do that?
The instructions say:
Dashboard > Themes > activate twenty eleven child
...but I can't see where/how to activate in Dashboard > Themes ?
Did you upload the child theme's folder to wp-content/themes?

I think so...
it's in my Cpanel:
public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/twentyeleven-child
No. You must upload the child's folder to wp-content/themes - just like any other theme.

Success!
That's worked fine thank you.
Only thing now is that this has changed the header picture. Do you know how to get the my twenty eleven parent picture back please?
