  I want to change the name of my site (oficiodiariodotorg), which one would think could be a simple task, but I can find no way to edit the title page.

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

  re: changing a .wordpress.com site title

  The top level domain here is wordpress.com and all sites hosted here on on .wordpress.com sub domains. The site title and the URL of the wordpress.com sub domain do not have to be the same.

  1. You can use the theme customizer to change a site title under site identity https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

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

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  * You will have to replace NAME_OF_BLOG withe the actual name of the blog in that URL.

  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.

  Hi padremickey,

  but I can find no way to edit the title page.

  Are you referring to the title of your site, which is currently set to ‘OFICIODIARIODOTORG’?

  If so, the instructions @timethief has provided should help.

  Please let us know if that doesn’t do what you are looking for.

  Thanks!
