  Could you clarify what do you mean by profile tagline?

  You can change the blog tagline from General Settings.

  When I first signed up it asked if I wanted to include a timeline, so I did but I want to change it. It only shows the tag line when I view from a mobile device but I still would like to fix it.

  A Tagline is meant to be a brief branding message. Know that the combined number of characters in your site title and tagline determine how much will be displayed in search engine results. You have a total of 141 characters right now and that’s too many for full display in search engine results.

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

  P.S. No that not every theme here will display a Tagline.
