Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] Set a link in Blog tagline?

Hi,

Is is possible to create a link in the blog tagline? For instance, making "New England Birdhouse" link to an external site in the tagline "Observations about the business of New England Birdhouse." I tried <a href> unsuccessfully.

thanks

To do this for all places where the tagline is used on your blog (including places that may not be visible), filter the bloginfo function (which contains the tagline) by adding the following to the bottom of functions.php - without causing any blank lines or spaces in functions.php:

PHP Code:
<?php        
function blog_filter($string$show) {
    if ( 
$show == "description" ) {
        
$string str_replace('New England Birdhouse''<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/">New England Birdhouse</a>'$string);
    }
return 
$string;
}
add_filter('bloginfo''blog_filter'10);
?>
This would be a problem if for instance a SEO/Meta Tag plugin uses the tagline and puts it into the <HEAD>...</HEAD> section as a meta tag. If you use the solution above, click through your site afterwards, view the source code and make sure you don't have something like

<meta name="meta name here" content="Welcome to <a href="...">blog description</a>" />

in the <HEAD> .... </HEAD> section of any page of your site, because that may confuse search engines.


The other way to do this, perhaps better for what you want to do, would be to edit functions/bfa_header_config.php

Change

PHP Code:
ob_start(); bloginfo('description'); $logo_area .= '<p class="tagline">' ob_get_contents() . 
'</p>'ob_end_clean(); 
to

PHP Code:
$logo_area .= '<p class="tagline">Your tagline with <a href="link">a link</a> here</p>'

Your second alternative works like a charm.

Very much appreciated.

Flynn,

Trying to do method #2 in your text above, but in my bfa_header_config.php file, I cannot find the code to change. I am using version 3.4.2

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply Juggledad!

One additional question... How do I do just text, but make my Tagline multiline? I want to do some text, then on the next line some more text, so that it all is not on one long line.

Thank you!
Scott K.

try adding a '<br>' where you want the line break
