Trying to have a different tagline (site-description) on one page only

[strannik]

I'm trying to set up a separate unique tagline for one page of my site. After scouring the interwebs, I saw two possible solutions to add to my child theme function.php, neither of which works for me.

add_filter( 'bloginfo', 'change_bloginfo_tagline', 10, 2 );
function change_bloginfo_tagline( $text, $show )
{
    if ('description' == $show && is_page( '88'))  {
        $text = 'Monitoring, is our business';
    }
    return $text;
}

and this:

add_filter( 'bloginfo', 'change_bloginfo', 10, 2 );
function change_bloginfo( $text, $show )
{
  //print($text);
    if ('description' == $show) {
      
      if(is_page('88')){
        $text = 'Monitoring, is our business';
      }else{
        $text = html_entity_decode($text);
      }
        
    }
    return $text;
}

What am I doing wrong?
Is this a specific genesis issue?
Is there a better way to do this?

Use the Genesis filter to modify the default output of the genesis_site_description function.

Thanks for the quick response. That code is a bit opaque to me

Do I add this code to my function.php?

What do I modify so that one page of page-id-x gets the special tagline and the rest get the normal tagline?

[Brad Dalton]

Thats the default function which you'll need to modify using the filter hook.

I tried modifying one of the examples as follows:

add_filter( 'genesis_seo_description','conditional_site_description');
/**
 * @author    Brad Dalton
 * @example   http://wpsites.net/web-design/remove-genesis-site-description-conditionally/
 * @copyright 2014 WP Sites
 */
function conditional_site_description($description) {
if ( is_page('88') ) :
	$description = 'Monitoring, is our business';
	return;
else :
return $description;
endif;
}

But it doesn't work - the page-id-88 just displays with no tagline.

What am I missing?

[Brad Dalton]

Yes, that code i linked to removes the tagline conditionally.

What you need to do is modify the value for the $inside variable conditionally using the genesis_seo_description filter.

This requires some work on your behalf to write and test the code. Otherwise, please search for a tutorial which contains the code you need.

Happy to point you in the right direction.

Note : Filter functions require advanced PHP coding skills however you can look at existing code snippets which use the filter to get a idea on how it works.
