 * I am just taking over this site and have had trouble getting the offline backup
   copies to a functioning site. Now that is done, I still am not able to change
   the header text to reflect the change in the URL. I have tried the built-in wordpress
   header and nothing changes. I know this is a custom theme that was built so I
   am already a little confused on it. Any guidance where to start. I’ve looked 
   in the header.php file to change the text but nothing there. I tried finding 
   the default location thinking it was an image so I could swap it out with a new
   one that I created. Newbie here just looking for help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-header-text%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * What do you have for the site name and tagline in settings->reading? I’d start
   there, then look into your theme’s options.

   like pictures of smiling doctors. You should not be having fun! I certainly wasn’t.)

 * Steve,
    I looked in there and tried to modify it. The tagline was actually blank,
   so it not pulling it from there as the source. I did go into Theme settings and
   I see what I need. This is what was there:
 * William B. Evans, M.D.
    <span>gastrodoctorlouisville.com</span>
 * I tried changing the url and publish but changes wont go into effect.
 * -Yeah, just trying to make light of the situation. Could be worse with an angry
   doctor.
