Hi hendosdad,
You should change the line-height off .site-description class in your css.
Marco
Changing it to line-height off didn’t work.
In the end I settled for line-height: 1.15
Thanks for your help otherwise I wouldn’t have known where to start.
Also stumbled on margin-top: 0; and padding-top: 0; which served to bring the tagline a little closer to the site title.
you’re welcome. Please change the status of this post to resolved.
Although I have a fix, is it really resolved unless the theme is changed otherwise everyone who builds a website with this theme and displays a tagline containing certain characters will get this problem.
Sorry if this sounds picky but I’m thinking of novices who aren’t familiar with css and who are wanting to quickly build a site without the need to get technical.
As long as you made the CSS change in a child theme, the new CSS will not be overwritten if Twenty Twelve is updated.
I did the CSS changes in a child theme.
My concern is that unless the theme itself is changed someone developing a new site who doesn’t know about CSS and child themes will not be able to resolve this problem.
That is correct. You would need to give WordPress instruction to anyone who may continue developing the website – unless they are already familiar with CSS implementation.
