    I would like to display my existing site tagline under the site title. Now, only the title displays, not the tagline. Is there any easy way to do this? All the solutions I've read require editing files, which I fear may cause me further problems I don't know how to fix.

    You'll find the CSS for your tagline/description in your child themes style.css file has been modified to hide it so you can modify this CSS rule to show it.

    Can you tell me what the modified code should be to display it?

    Also, can I customize the css via the "Additional CSS" theme setting? Or should I do it a different way?

    Using a code editor, open your style.css file and search for the .site-description class in order to find the CSS rule which needs modifying.

    You can modify the CSS rule directly or copy it to the end of the file and make changes there. You can also add custom CSS rules to the end of your style sheet.

    Is there any way to view/edit style.css without using sftp? I'm trying to set that up with an sftp client and so far haven't been able to connect.

    Can I view and edit it through my admin interface of the site? So far I haven't been able to figure out any way to do that.

    As far as Genesis is concerned, I only see Additional CSS as an option and nothing in the code relates to site description.

    Google design palette pro site title settings" alt="Genesis design palette pro title settings" />
    UDPATE: I now have the site description displaying. But its font color is different than the site title font color. I'd like to get them the same color. But the Design Pro plugin says that "site description is not used in Genesis Pro."

    Can you tell me how I can make them the same color? I'd also like to make sure both the title & description are using the same font.

    You can see how they're displaying now on my home pg:

    You can use CSS at the end of your child themes style.css file.

    .site-description {
        color: red;
    }
    

    Then clear caching.
