  I’m creating a new blog using Adventure Journal. Going well, except that the tag line “box” still appears on custom header, even though no text is written in it. How do I remove it, as it’s detracting from my header? I’ve looked at other blogs using this theme and the tagline box isn’t there. Help, please.

  We can change Tagline or delete it and use none at any time on this page > Settings > General. I don’t see a Tagline on your blog so I assume you have resolved this issue.

  Oddly, when I pull the blog up, there is a blank rectangle shape w/ no text in it in the upper left hand corner of my header. Do you not see it when you pull it up?

  Yes, I do see the empty Tile and Tagline box. One one hand, I know it cannot be removed without a custom design upgrade and the required CSS editing to remove it. one the other, I’m not convinced that it’s not in the template and if so then you won’t be able to remove or hide it. I have flagged this thread for Staff attention so they can tell you in advance if hiding it or emoving it is possible via CSS editing.

  @TT: The box can easily be removed via CSS editing, but the OP doesn’t have the upgrade.

  @OOD: That box doesn’t contain the tagline only, it contains the blog title and the tagline. You have deleted both, but deleting the blog title is very bad for search engines. You should either by the Custom design upgrade (not worth it if getting rid of that box is the only change you’d like to make), or switch to a theme that supports hiding the text – see here:

  Thanks for wading in and providing the CSS answer.

  You can test custom CSS changes any time by using the preview button on the Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page. If you wanted to hide the tagline with CSS, you could add this:

  #site-description {
      display: none;
  }

  But that’s not what the OP was looking for. OP would need this:

  #logo {
  	display:none;
  }

  I couldn’t do anything short of purchasing the upgrade, which I didn’t want to do since this is for a non-profit group. I ended up switching themes entirely. Thanks anyway.

  Ah, I was looking at the site after the theme switch. I think what you’ve got now looks great!

  Thanks. I’m pleased with it too, so it turned out for the best.
