Adding TM superscript to site title
-
Hi
I have registered my company name and can now include ® after the name. I have managed to copy and paste the symbol into my site title, but it’s in the same large font as the title, when it needs to be in a small superscript. Is there any way of doing that?
I have a personal plan and my website is bamimages.net
Many thanks.

Hi there,
It would not be possible to do this without adding custom CSS code to your theme, which is possible under the Premium plan (and higher) but is not an option under the personal plan.
If I can make a recommendation however, you may not strictly need to add the ® symbol after the site title in this case. This is something I would check out with an attorney that is familiar with trademark law, but I do see sites that do not display trademark icons in their site title even if they do show it normally in other printed materials, or even in other places within their website.
This is not legal advice however, just an observation I have made from seeing quite a few sites over the years, so I would be sure to double check with someone who has a background in trademark law.
If instead you do decide to upgrade to the Premium plan, let us know and we can help with the CSS you would need to add the ® symbol to your site title. Learn more about our WordPress.com Premium Plan here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the reply. It’s what I thought was the case, but it’s still disappointing to know that I can’t adequately use a legal trade mark on my site even though I do have a paid plan and not a free one.
Is this something you could raise with the Powers That Be at WordPress please? It is important for any business to have adequate legal protections for their company.
Thanks again.

Every paid wordpress.com has its possibilities and limitations. It’s up to you to choose the plan that fits you best; in your case it would be the Premium Plan.

If you don’t mind me saying, an attitude of “like it or lump it” isn’t very helpful to customers. I’m not asking for the earth to be able to add a proper TM or R sign to my site title. And jerrysarcastic did say to speak up if I had any further comments, and my question was in response to his informative reply.

This has nothing to do with your “like it or lump it”. It’s like cars; you have several models and every model has several versions from simple to the full monty.

Maybe I’m just old and remember the days when customer service was just that – customer centric. A reply of “I will definitely put your suggestion to my manager as I can see it’s something which would benefit our customers” is maybe old fashioned these days. Instead it seems to be a case of if we’re not meeting your perfectly reasonable legal needs, pay us some more cash and then we will.
It’s not like I’m asking for a massive thing or something which would only be found on a sports model of car, like a heated steering wheel. I’m asking for a door lock, which IMHO should be pretty standard.
I don’t have anything else to add to the discussion other than a company is nothing without their customers.

Wordpress.com is a shared platform with several levels of security. The more possibilities you have, the thightner the server configuration must be or the higher the security level must be to prevent one site compromising all other sites on the server. The higher the security level, the more work it needs from wordpress.com.
Security of a platform like wordpress.com stands or falls with the server configuration.
