What

Allow the visibility of the Site Title and Tagline to be independently set in the Customizer

Why

For sites with a logo set, they might want to selectively make the Tagline visible but hide the Site Title (note: on some themes, showing all three elements results in an unsightly header area).

CSS aside (see further down), the only way to selectively hide the Site Title or Tagline is to unset the text in each respective box in the Customizer or under WordPress.com > My Sites > Settings > General.

This is less than optimal because:

  • Both Site Tile and Tagline are used to populate the HTML <title> tag. Removing one or the other affects how the site appears in a browser tab and tab or window list.
  • When the Site Title is unset, the corresponding og:title tag is set to: <meta property="og:title" content="(no title)">. This results in SERPS and social/rich media previews displaying "(no title)".

Example:

kadamaero ca

 
On CSS: Although possible to hide either the Site Title or Tagline for humans in CSS, this is only available on Premium plans and Atomic sites. Free and Personal plans do not have this option. I believe this is a basic visibility option and should be included on all plans!

How

Separate the "Display Site Title and Tagline" checkbox at WordPress.com > My Sites > Appearance > Customize > Site Identity into two:
 

  • "Display Site Title"
  • "Display Tagline"

Example:

Awesome title visibility
