How to change homepage description

[matteoduo]

Hi,
I'm working on Minimum theme and I'd like to change homepage description with custom text:
currently the Minimum theme shows what's in my general info section, but I'd like to show something different.

I've been told to modify the page-title.php file, specifically the following line:
if ( is_home() ) {
echo '' . esc_html( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) . '' . __( 'Subscribe Now', 'minimum' ) . '';

but I don't know what code I need to add to get my desired result.

Anyone can help me figure out this?
Hope so... 🙂

You can actually do this directly in the WordPress Dashboard. On the left click on the Genesis Tab > SEO Options. Then you can edit your Home Page Description right there.

@NRay: Minimu theme shows the description in the homepage next to a "Subscribe" button.
I'd like to leave my actual description but edit the text showed in the homepage

Maybe this could help my point:

Simple. Open the page-title.php doc and make this change:

Old:
`if ( is_home() ) {
echo '' . esc_html( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) . '' . __( 'Talk to us', 'minimum' ) . '';
}
`

New:
`
if ( is_home() ) {
echo '' . __( 'type your custom text here', 'minimum' ) . '' . __( 'And make a custom button too', 'minimum' ) . '';
}
`

EDIT: Actually, some of the code is disappearing here. Not sure why. But you should be able to figure it out of you look at the other code snippets below the Home code in the same document. 🙂
