Absolutely love this theme Carolyn. Thank you for making it available.
I too am unable to display the tag line. Your guidance gratefully received.
Thank you.
Sincere apologies for mis-spelling your name above Caroline 🙁
Hi! The theme is not designed to display the tagline, this is intentional to keep it simpler. You could add it to a child theme with the following code:
<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
Re: the menu, I’m not sure what you mean, but you can always style the menu differently within your child theme as well. You’ll find the CSS under the Navigation section in style.css.
