Hi @kingliife
Thanks for your support. Please, try the following child theme.
To try this child theme:
1. Download child theme ZIP to desktop.
2. Install via Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload Theme.
Things to expect when activating any child theme…
The following settings will reset, requiring them to be manually set again. This is, unfortunately, normal.
1. Appearance > Customize.
2. Appearance > Menus > Menu Locations.
3. Sometimes widgets at Appearance > Widgets can move from a widget area to the Inactive Widgets area.
Let me know how it goes 🙂
Hello @misplon,
Thank you, I am really enjoying your theme.
I’d also like to thank you for the quick response, but I forgot to mention I already figured it out somehow.
For the people with the similar problem:
Go to the theme editor -> Ultra -> header.php
Press Control+f, search for the div class ‘site-branding’. Underneath that you’ll find something with H1, remove that. If you still want a title, but not a h1, you can change it to a div id and put in some custom css.
Thanks for your support, it’s most appreciated.
Don’t forget that all WordPress.org themes completely overwrite their own folder during theme updates. Unfortunately, this means that changes made via Appearance > Editor in the parent theme wouldn’t survive an update. Let me know if I can assist further with this matter or anything else 🙂
Should I turn it into a child theme then? I am unfamiliar with doing so, so if possible please explain this to me.
Ideally, yes. I’ve created one for this purpose. Sorry if the link was missed in my initial reply. It’s located here:

I uploaded and activated it.
The custom css stayed there and also my edited code (For removing the original h1) stayed the same.
I also put the menu’s back in place.
So now if you would update the Ultra theme, my version would stay the same?
Nicely done. Correct, the change is now safe as the child theme doesn’t get overwritten during the update process.
Apologies, I’ve missed a step in the child theme creation process. Please, go to Appearance > Editor > style.css and change all h1 references to h2. This is what it should be displayed as:
/* Site Title */
.site-header .site-branding h2.site-title {
font-size: 2.57143em;
line-height: 1.38889em;
display: block;
font-family: "Muli", sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
letter-spacing: -1px;
line-height: normal;
margin: 0;
zoom: 1;
}
@media (max-width: 1224px) {
.resp .site-header .site-branding h2.site-title {
font-size: 2.28571em;
line-height: 1.5625em;
line-height: normal;
}
}
@media (max-width: 1024px) {
.resp .site-header .site-branding h2.site-title {
font-size: 2em;
line-height: 1.78571em;
line-height: normal;
}
}
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.resp .site-header .site-branding h2.site-title {
font-size: 1.78571em;
line-height: 2em;
line-height: normal;
}
}
.site-header .site-branding h2.site-title a {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
}
.site-header .site-branding h2.site-title a:hover {
border-bottom: none;
}
.site-header.scale.fixed .site-branding h2.site-title {
font-size: 2em;
line-height: 1.78571em;
line-height: normal;
}
Did it. However, the Ultra Child theme only contains a style.css file and I have two Ultra file maps now, are they supposed to be seperate?
Sorry for the hassle. Away from computer for an hour or so will resolve ASAP when I’m back. Thanks!
I’m back 🙂 To explain the child theme and how it works. In functions.php you’ll find the function ultra_display_logo. This function is responsible for outputting the logo or site title, both have an h1 tag by default. The child theme changes this function, specifically:
$logo_html = '<h2 class="site-title">'.get_bloginfo( 'name' ).'</h2>';
Changing the site title h2. The contents of style.css then adjusts the h1 styling to h2 styling.
I’m not quite following your question:
I have two Ultra file maps now
Once installed, at Appearance > Themes you should have Ultra and Ultra Child. And in your /wp-content/themes folder on your server you’ll have a folder called “ultra” and a folder called “ultra-child”. Perhaps you could explain the question a bit more? Thanks 🙂
Oh, yeah with the links you gave me for the child theme also contained the original Ultra theme and a child theme. I already had one ultra theme installed so I guess I have two now.
The child theme I sent was correct but there would have been extra steps to take, given that you were already running a child theme. There looks to be two style.css files in your child theme now. I can help recover the situation for you.
If you’d like, login to your server via FTP or hosting file manager, go to /wp-content/themes/ and download ultra-child. ZIP it and upload it to your Media Library. Send me the link here. I can help clean it up. We’ll then overwrite the one you have on the server with the cleaned up one.
Is that still neccisary, I looked through the plugin list and downloaded something called called ‘One Click Child Theme’, so I am trying that. Maybe it will save you and me some time hah!
It’s totally up to you 🙂
I wouldn’t use a child theme plugin at this point. The change I made to assist in your original question was stored in the functions.php file of the child theme I sent. I can’t imagine a child theme plugin would be able to retrieve that edit.
