  Hello all,

  How do you change the Site Title Color? Also, how do you change the location of the site title? There does not seem to be an intuitive way to do this.

  Thanks!

  Hi, @evigansky,

  I see that you are using the Twenty Seventeen Theme.

  how do you change the location of the site title?

  The Site Title has a set position on the theme. Unless, of course, you have custom CSS available to you (upgraded Personal/Business Plans)

  Here is the support documentation for your theme. It may be helpful: https://wordpress.com/theme/twentyseventeen

  How do you change the Site Title Color?

  With this specific theme, you have six free custom color palettes to choose from. Directions on where to change that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-colors/

  If you aren’t in love with your theme, there are many more to choose from : https://wordpress.com/themes

  Let me know if this helps at all.

  Hi there – since you have access to Custom CSS as part of WordPress.com Premium, you can make all the tweaks you mention with CSS code.

  You can change the site title colour by adding this in your Customizer‘s CSS panel:

  body.has-header-image .site-title, body.has-header-video .site-title, body.has-header-image .site-title a, body.has-header-video .site-title a {
    color: #bb00bb;
  }

  I noticed you’ve removed your site title – I’d suggest you put it back as it’s an essential element for user navigation and search engines. If you prefer not to display your site title and tagline at all (as you have it now) you can still put them back in your Customizer‘s Site Identity panel, and just uncheck the “Display Site Title and Tagline” box.

  Also, how do you change the location of the site title?

  This can also be done with custom CSS. Let me know where you’d like to move it and I’d be glad to lend a hand.

  p.s. change the example purple colour code I gave you to whatever colour you prefer. Use a colour picker like this one to select your preferred shade.
