How does one hide a Blog's "tagline" ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Rique · 04-24-2008, 01:13 AM

I'm setting up my wordpress 2.5 blog, and I know that the tagline is important for SEO, but if I have a customized banner for the header, how do I go about HIDING the tagline so the keywords don't appear on top of my header image? (Notice I said HIDE, not trying to get rid of the taglines as that would defeat the purpose) I've already figured out how to hide the title, just cant find the css code to hide the tagline text.

Thanks in Advance!

display: none;

That one depends on the template you are using. Which one are you using?
If you know your own css you should be able to hide it with display:none; technique.

I'm using the Corporate Template. I know enough CSS to go in there and change colors and the like. I did use the display:none ; code to hide the title, but don't know where the line is for the tagwords so as to enter the display:none ; to hide those as well.

Go to your page, view source, and see what the <div> class or id is that the tagline shows inside, then change that one.

Change it over on the style.css ?

Yeah, you can just identify which part of the style it is by viewing the source (if you couldnt find it in the code)

Then go to that part of the css, and add the display:none.

If you dont know what i mean post the url and ill show ya.

I changed it to

.description
{ display: none;
text-align: center;
font-weight: normal;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: -1000px;

Yet it still shows the damned tags (I'm gonna go nuts trying to figure this sh!t out LOL)

I need this also thanks guys

if we put display:none still we get the benefit from the tagline?

Rique · 04-24-2008, 11:56 AM

It worked! Thanks a lot Jdoughs! You rock!

I figured out why the code wasn't working, my stupid ass forgot to enclose it with the "}". Added that and BAM it disappeared!

THANKS!

Yeah, that's why I was trying to hide my tagline. I still wanted it, but just wanted it hidden as it looked bad with the tag words all over my custom graphic header.

Yeah, I saw the code and something didn't look right about it, then I looked up and noticed the code to hide the title was enclosed and right away knew why the tagline code wasn't working. Amazing what a missing "}" can do, or in this case, undo LOL.

Thanks again man!
