Possible to add a tag line under my logo in Umami?

[Fred Rogers]

I’ve seen tag lines under the logo in the sidebar of a few of the Umami sample sites but I can’t figure out how to add that. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Excellent question Fred. Most of the examples where you see a tagline there, it’s been added to the logo’s image file. That’s a quick solution that doesn’t require any editing.

You can also make a quick edit to the theme to include WordPress’ tagline. Here’s how to do that:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and choose Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose sidebar.php file.
3. Locate this section:

   
   	<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 
   		'theme_location'	=> 'primary',
   		'container'			=> 'nav',
   		'container_id'		=> 'side-menu',
   		'menu_id'			=> 'primary-menu',
   		'depth'				=> 2,
   		'fallback_cb'		=> false
   		) ); ?>
   

4. Right above that, add this:

   
   <p id="tagline"><?php echo get_bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
   

   and save your changes.

That should get WordPress’ tagline displaying between the logo and the navigation menu. You can change the text that’s shown there by going to Settings in your WordPress dashboard and selecting the General screen. The tagline can be entered in there.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Bill

Thank you! That worked like a charm. Would you please tell me how to center the tag line text? Feel free to reply by telling me to learn HTML and PHP. 😉
