Title: Missing Site Title Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Missing Site Title * [michloh353](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michloh353/) * (@michloh353) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/) * I am using Origin theme for my blog and i have uploaded the header image and somehow it seems to be covering my site title. I can see only the tagline. I cannot see the site title and the pages (about, awards, copyright, contact me). * below is the link to my blog: * [http://173.247.250.112/~bacona6/](http://173.247.250.112/~bacona6/) * Thank you.

Look at this, the `title=""` Attribute is empty. baconandjackrussells is just the description… * ```

But nothing is showing – the image is blocking. I have tried removing the image and the title shows. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879070) * Looks like the header.php file is messed up – did you modify that file? * Thread Starter [michloh353](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michloh353/) * (@michloh353) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879071) * No I didn’t modify the header.php Can I do anything to reset the header.php? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879072) * Is it this theme? * [http://wordpress.org/themes/origin](http://wordpress.org/themes/origin) * Did you recently install it or update it? * Thread Starter [michloh353](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michloh353/) * (@michloh353) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879073) * Yes, this is the theme I use. * Yes I did install it recently (about a week ago), it hasn’t been updated. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879074) * Now I’m seeing a WordPress.COM site? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879075) * Oh wait, that’s at your domain name – sorry. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879076) * You should be able to reinstall the theme – switch to another theme first, delete that one and reinstall it. * You should probably backup your site first just to be on the safe side.

There ARE ways to work around that – by modifying the header.php file – but you’d need to use a Child Theme to do that – so that your changes aren’t lost when the theme is updated. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * Or you could use another theme – looks like you might be looking at other ones? * Thread Starter [michloh353](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michloh353/) * (@michloh353) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879080) * Ya, I would like my wordpress.org site to look like the wordpress.com one – with a header and a title. And the posts on the page to show a snippet of the posts that I have, not the full post itself. * Currently with origin theme, it seems like with the header, I will miss the title. With the title, I cant have a header… this is strange because at wordpress.com, I use origin as well and it was fine. * With twentyeleven, I can have a title and a header but the posts show the complete posts and not the first few lines only (which is what I want)… * All this is making me very confused – do you know any theme that has all that I want: – clean,white look – header -title – 1st few lines of the recent posts on the webpage shown (instead of the whole post itself as it could be heavy with pictures..) * In addition, do you know how long my webpage will be shut down when I change my domain from wordpress.com to org? * Thank you so much. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879081) * Many questions here 🙂 – so I’ll see if I can get them all! * The same theme usually has some differences between .COM and .ORG versions – so that’s why it’s not identical. .COM typically modifies themes to work with the .COM features that aren’t all the same as .ORG. * Any theme, really, can be modified to do what you want – but you’d need to use a Child Theme for changes that involved modifying theme files. I agree that excerpts are better on the home page… I think twentytwelve may do what you want – maybe just switch over to that one and see. But, we can certainly walk though making a child theme and changing things on Origin or any other theme :). * So far as switching the domain name – hard to say for sure – as it can take anywhere from several hours to 72 hours for the nameservers to fully propagate. But I THINK that your .COM site will revert to the domain.wordpress.COM address – so people would likely get one or the other. I’d recommend asking about the best way to do that on the .COM forums. * Thread Starter [michloh353](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michloh353/) * (@michloh353) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-site-title/#post-3879082) * HI, I just tried twentytwelve – same thing – it shows the whole post..
