# RSS (title unknown)

 * I just installed my wife’s blog (emerse.org). The blog shows up on RSS readers,
   but the name doesn’t. In Google Reader, the name shows up as “(title unknown)”.
 * Tried looking into the wp-rss.php and wp-rss2.php WordPress files, but nothing
   obvious there to tweak. Is there a file that needs changing? Or? Thanks in advance.

 * See your source code (which is a reflection of what is in your header.php and
   in your admin > Options > General: Blog title:
    `<title> </title>` **Nothing**.
   Then what do you expect???

 * Thanks, but when I enter the name of the blog (admin > options > general > “blog
   title”) the name shows up on the blog’s masthead. The masthead already has the
   blog name embedded. We don’t want it to show up twice. How can I enter the blog
   title, but not have it show up in the header?

 * Add
    `display: none;` to the stylesheet for the element that is around your blogtitle.

 * I believe that I have a similar situation. I am getting “(title unknown)” in 
   google reader. When I try to look at the header.php source code it doesn’t show
   anything but a link to RSS. I too do not want to have the title and tagline show
   up on the actual blog and webpage as I have a logo there instead. To the last
   point above, I do not understand where i would place the display: none; at?
