  I’m trying to display the tagline on a site using the Edin theme.

  What I’ve tried is:

  .site-description {
  display: block;
  }

  However, that hasn’t made any change.

  Any suggestions?

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

  Hi there, I’m seeing a site description on your site right now starting with We are a Canterbury-based… and I see the following custom CSS:

  .site-description {
      color: #000;
      display: block;
      margin-bottom: -84px;
      margin-left: 200px;
      position: relative;
      top: -100px;
      z-index: 3;
  }

  Have you gotten this designed to your satisfaction?

  Hi there,
  I’m new to WordPress and trying to get a blog set up using the Edin theme. I’ve entered my tagline on the General settings page, but it doesn’t display when I click on “View Site.” Is there no way to have it display without fiddling with the code, which seems to be what you had to do?
  My blog/site URL is dearpport.com.
  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks!
  Renee

  Hi Renee,

  No, there is a display:none in the css already, which you can’t remove unless you use custom CSS, which requires the Custom Design upgrade.

  Hi David,
  Thanks so much for your reply and the info it contains. Now to explore the other free templates, trying to find a good one that displays the tagline–or to pay for the upgrade and try modifying the code. I don’t get why something as simple as a tagline requires so much effort, but that’s just me, I guess–:).
  More thanks, all best,
  Renee

  Hi Renee, some themes have visible taglines, and some do not. The designer of Edin made the decision not to show the tagline. The good thing is that the tagline is there and can be made visible with a bit of custom CSS. Of course, that does require the upgrade.

  Do let us know if you have additional questions.
