Title: Adding description to the header Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Adding description to the header * [Zephpp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zephpp/) * (@zephpp) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-description-to-the-header/) * Hi * I want to add a description below the main header text. I’d like to be able to have a different font size and type for this text. It sits just below the main header text, above the posts. Similar to the Twenty Ten theme with the text on the right side of the header. * Adding a text into the Description box in the WordPress theme settings only put this text into the browser top bar. * Here is my header.php, I’m using the [url=http://wpshower.com/free-wordpress- themes/blogum-free-wordpress-theme/]Blogum theme[/url]. * ``` <?php global $page, $paged; wp_title('|', true, 'right'); bloginfo('name'); $site_description = get_bloginfo('description', 'display'); if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page())) echo " | $site_description"; if ($paged >= 2 || $page >= 2) echo ' | ' . sprintf( __('Page %s'), max($paged, $page)); ?>
