Please, try the following [child theme](http://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ultra-child-h2-site-title-logo.zip). * 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 🙂 * Thread Starter [kingliife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingliife/) * (@kingliife) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616021) * Hello [@misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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. * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616022) * 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 🙂 * Thread Starter [kingliife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingliife/) * (@kingliife) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616024) * Should I turn it into a child theme then? I am unfamiliar with doing so, so if possible please explain this to me. * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616025) * Ideally, yes. I’ve created one for this purpose. Sorry if the link was missed in my initial reply. It’s located here: * [http://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ultra-child-h2-site-title-logo.zip](http://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ultra-child-h2-site-title-logo.zip) * To try this child theme: * 1.

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? * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616027) * 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; } ``` * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616028) * Updated child theme if anyone needs it 🙂 * [http://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ultra-child-h2-site-title-logo.zip](http://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ultra-child-h2-site-title-logo.zip) * Thread Starter [kingliife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingliife/) * (@kingliife) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616029) * 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? * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616031) * Sorry for the hassle. Away from computer for an hour or so will resolve ASAP when I’m back. Thanks! * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616039) * 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 = '

'.get_bloginfo( 'name' ).'

';` * 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 🙂 * Thread Starter [kingliife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingliife/) * (@kingliife) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616066) * 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. * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616067) * 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. * Thread Starter [kingliife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingliife/) * (@kingliife) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616068) * 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! * Theme Author [Andrew Misplon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misplon/) * (@misplon) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-h1-remove/#post-6616069) * 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.
