    Tagline is NOT displaying on my Home Page and I cannot see any way to put this right.
    Please help with a solution.

    I see from Youtube Videos that on the 20th of June 2017 it was possible to go via
    Customise -> Site Identity
    and tick a box next to ‘Display Site Title and Tagline’

    The latest version of OceanWP (17th feb 2019) does NOT have a tick box down this route

    Googling seems to show that this is a common problem but I don’t see any solutions ‘outthere’

    I’m an early learner in OceanWP etc so simplified answers work best for me!

    Thank you for reading my question

  • Hello,

    Try to add the below code to the functions.php file of the child theme and see it works or not.

    function prefix_tagline() {
    	// Site description
    	if ( '' != get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) { ?>
    		<div id="site-description"><h2><?php echo bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2></div>
    	<?php
    	}
    }
    add_action( 'ocean_after_logo_img', 'prefix_tagline' );

    Dear Amit,

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I have seen your solution before but my level of skill is early learner e.g. I don’t know what ‘child theme’ means. I googled around and looked for the ‘functions.php file of the child theme’ in the recommended places but I couldn’t find it. Can you tell me in a simple and complete way how to find this file ?

    I have discovered that the tagline DOES appear on the website when this option is selected…
    Dashboard->Appearance->Customise->Header->General->Style->Top Menu

    I have also read that the ‘OceanWP Author’ says the Tagline only appears when the Site Icon is displayed. But I haven’t tested this yet

    And as I said before the tick box for ‘Display Site Title and Tagline’ present in June 2017 has disappeared.

    These 3 facts taken together may it look like the Theme Author has created this situation deliberately but I cannot understand what advantage has been gained.
    It just looks unnecessarily awkward.
    Is there some official OceanWP documentation on this topic?
    and
    Is it possible to ask the theme author to correct this issue?

    Okay, I’ll pass your query to the theme author.

    Hello @sugafairie, the tagline can only be displayed with the Top Menu style because for other styles, there is not enough space to add it.
