  Hello,

  I have been trying to figure out how to “hide” the appearance of my site title on my homepage.

  I have created a header picture that will take place of my title but I can’t seem to figure out how to “hide” the original title from showing but I don’t want to delete it completely.

  Please help!

  Thanks,
  Kristy

  Hi Kristy,

  If you have purchased the custom design upgrade, you can update the CSS of the theme.

  Go to Appearance->Customize, then go to CSS and enter the following CSS:

  #site-title{
  	display:none;
  }

  Here is a screenshot of the CSS customization: http://screencast.com/t/vU8YjvVN

  Is it not possible if I haven’t purchased the custom design upgrade?

  I haven’t purchased it yet and didn’t know if it was something I really required…

  Kristy,

  I’m afraid the only alternative would be for you to go to Header in the customizer and remove all the text from the “Site Title” field.

  I had done that originally but I was worried that it would change how my website was searched…..Thanks so much for your help though!

  @hillsandbridges, search engines definitely like to see site titles, so my suggestion would be to either keep it or switch to a theme that allows you to hide the site title text. Manifest does not have that option.
