While "Just another WordPress site" is the default message that appears on many newly created WordPress sites, there are many simple ways to change this message to something more unique and reflective of the nature of your website. Thanks to several different methods, we can customize this snippet with plugins, making changes to the code or even changing the settings in the WordPress admin panel.
Changing the settings in the WordPress admin panel
The easiest way to change this text is to use WordPress built-in functions. For this you do not need to know any specialized programming skills, just a few clicks.
- Log in to the WordPress administration panel (www.nazwastrony.pl/wp-admin).
- Go to "Settings" and select "General".
- In the "Page Description" field, enter the text to replace "Just another WordPress site."
- Save your changes by clicking on "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.
Use of WordPress plugins
If you want more control over the appearance and placement of your text, using one of the many WordPress plugins available can be a good idea. These plugins offer easy-to-use interfaces to modify many elements of your site, including default text.
- Plug "SEO by Yoast“ – This is one of the most popular SEO plugins for WordPress, which, among other things, allows you to change the default text. After installing and activating the plugin, go to “SEO” > “Social” > “Facebook” and enter new text in the “Default settings” > “Default title” field.
- “Change Tagline” Plugin – This is a simpler plugin that has one job – to change the default text. After installing it, go to “Settings” > “Change Tagline” and enter a new text.
PHP code modification
For advanced users who want even more control over their site, it is possible to change the text by editing the WordPress theme files. Note, however, that this method requires some programming knowledge and is only recommended for experienced users.
- Log in to your hosting account.
- Go to your file manager and open wp-content > themes > (name of your theme).
- Find the file “header.php” and open it in the editor.
- Find a line of code that looks something like this:
<p class="site-description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?> </p>
. - replace
'description'
on the text you want to display. - Save changes and close the editor.
Don't forget, however, that modifying source files can have unintended consequences if not done correctly. Always back up your site before making any changes.
Regardless of which of these methods you choose, remember that the goal is the same – to create unique and attractive text that will help your website stand out from the rest.
