Creating a space in the blog headline

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello-
    I just set up my blog- the display name is 2 words squished together, so the title has no space. How can I add a space to the title of my blog? (Would like a space after “the”) I can’t find any resourses on how to do this. If necessary, I would change the name altogether- but can’t find anything on that either.

    Thanks in advance!
    Lauren

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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

    re: the Sight theme
    The header image must be 580px × 149px. You upload it here > Appearance > Header

    You edit the blog title in Settings > General.

    But the way The Sight is designed, it cannot accommodate a long title. Better select a different theme.

    I know I sound like a complete novice, but wordpress absolutely won’t allow me to insert a space, a dash an underscore, etc in my blog name. Is there some secret option/control etc. to insert the space?

    I saw that, thanks- I did change the theme too. Still won’t let me put a space in the title- that’s a settings issue I think?

    Well I switched my test flog to Oxygen and I used the instructions without any difficulty at all. Please try again

    Looks like we both found it at the same time. I was just trying to change things from the wrong place. Thanks for your tireless help timethief!

    You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
    Appearance > Header
    Appearance > Background
    Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
    Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
    Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

    If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

    To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

    If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
