HowTo: Get a blank title in kubrick default theme
I have been asked if I knew how to stop the title showing up on top of the kubrick header, while it still maintains the title and description of the site. So here goes I hope it will help you.
First, get this plugin All-in-one-SEO
Configuring this plugin should allow you the option of having a site title name, but without it showing up on top of the kubrick image header.
Secondly, remove the title from the kubrick image header.
In the WordPress admin site, you need to go to Design>Theme Editor>header.php
Here you will need to remove or comment out the code that looks like this:
<div id=”header”>
<div id=”headerimg”>
<h1><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/”>
<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a></h1>
<div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
This is the code that generates the Title and blog description of your WordPress site.

Thanks again! The All-in-one SEO plugin did the trick itself.
The second task you mention… if I already left the title blank in the WordPress Settings page, then is it necessary to alter the header.php page?
Also… I just realized that now my header no longer links back to the homepage. It seems, like on your page, that the text title IS the link to the homepage.
Is there some way to make my header graphic into a link back to the homepage? I couldn’t even find a reference to the kubrickheader.jpg anywhere on the header.php page.
Thanks again, you’ve been very helpful.

Hi Brian
Well, I don’t think that the creators of WordPress wouldn’t have thought of it. So the second thing I mention might be a little overkill, however, now you know where to find it.
What you need to do is to make the image your reference. So in the files you need to locate the kubrick header, I have made a tutorial already regarding this. What you have to do is to inclose the image in a reference that points to your site.
I hope that helps.

I think that adding All-in-one SEO plugin worked the first time. But updating to WordPress 2.7.1 seems to have changed something and these steps are no longer working for me. Any advice?

Hi Philip,
Well, dont answer my other comment.
Here is my answer for the clicable kubrick image header with no text.
I´ll come back to say how it went. …
Thanks

Hi Philip,
Me again …
IT Works.
But the header is not clicable.
To make it clicable, we need to exchange the header.php header image code, with:
div id="header"
a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"
div id="headerimg"></div></a
/div
With the apropriate opening/closing tags

Hi Joao
Wow, thanks for all the comments. Great that you got it working! I just saw all your comments this morning. It might be easier to work along your line of thoughts if you provide a link for your webpage next time. =) But thumbs up for your work.
