  Hi, small question, why doesn´t the tagline show in the header text? Is the theme made this way or have I messed something up? :)

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

  You did not mess anything :-)

  Sketch theme is not designed to show the tagline.

  Ok, thank you. :)

  I don´t understand why it has the tagline option though if it doesn´t show anyway.

  In themes that don’t display the tagline on the front end, the tagline is still displayed in other places, such as the browser’s title bar, and sometimes in search-engine snippets.

  If you’d like to display the tagline on your site itself, you could use this custom CSS to do it:

  .site-description {
    display: inherit;
  }

  You could also modify its look and feel.

  Just let me know if you need further help.

  Do you need to have an upgrade to do that? :)

  Yes you do need an upgrade to edit CSS. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom design upgrade and CSS editing:

  As timethief said, yes you do need the upgrade to access Custom CSS.

  Since your account is older, you can still purchase Custom Design (which includes Custom CSS) as a standalone upgrade if you like. Head to your WP Admin dashboard under Store and you’ll see Custom Design as an option for purchase:
