  I’m developing my business site with the Linen theme. How can I get our phone number on top right in the header?

  There are two options for including your phone number. The first would be to put it up in the header area like this:

  I believe that’s what you are describing. The easiest way to do this would be to place your number in the tagline field here:

  The second method for achieving this would be to manually put it in place using CSS. This would require the Premium bundle shown here:

  WordPress.com Premium [Redirects to Plans]

  If you’d like to see what that would look like, you can try the bundle for free by clicking Try Now here:

  Then, I’m happy to provide you with the CSS to make this happen.

  The second option would be to place the phone number in the sidebar using the Contact Info widget shown here:

  You could place that right above or below your social icons. Would that work?

  I would ideally use the first option, but I’ve entered the phone number in the tagline field and can’t figure out why it’s not showing up.

  Once I get this up there, will people be able to click on the number to call if using mobile, or is there a different way I need to enter it.

  Thanks so much for your help.

  You’ll want to enable the tagline option under Appearance -> Theme Options -> Custom Logo Image shown here:

  Once that setting is enabled, you should see the phone number underneath your logo. I’m afraid it will not be clickable. Making it clickable would require changing the format a bit, but the tagline field doesn’t support the specific code required to link the phone number.
