Video #5 of 31 FlexSqueeze and Flexibility2 Themes
When it comes to your title and tag you want to have it for search engine purposes.
If you’re using a custom header with the Flexibility2/FlexSqueeze theme–you don’t want to clear out the fields–but you don’t want it to show through your header either.
Here is a simple way to fix that…
Here is the code that you can use in the editor. Click on appearance. Click on editor. Click on Header.php
Copy ALL of the html from header.php to notepad FIRST
Do not use MSWord as it puts stray code that will mess up your blog.
Find the code in the header.php
<?php if ($flex_blog_logo == “”) { ?>
Add this code just below the above code
<h3 style=”text-indent:-9999px;”><a href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>/”>
<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
</a></h3>
<p style=”text-indent:-9999px;”>
<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>
</p>
The next line will look something like this…
<?php } else { ?>
Save it–then refresh your page–your tag line should no longer show through the header. If it’s “mucked” up copy the original code back to your header.php and well heck give me a call and I can help you.

Hi, Holly,
I am unable to load a custom header into my flexsqueeze theme even though I have uploaded the image to the proper file. I would appreciate your help with this.
It’s a two step process–once you load the header via ftp you then have to go to flex options and enter the file name.
I show you how here:

Let me know if this helps.

Holly,
YOU ROCK! I’m so glad I found your vids on Youtube. I was stuck with this very issue and your instructions worked like a charm. I will say that the code in the Youtube video worked for me and not the one here on the blog post. Thanks A MILLION!!!
I give up. Hopefully you see the entire snippit.
Thanks again.
Ira
Holly,
These are great! I tried this and it didn’t work with Flexibility3. Is something different there?
Sherrie,
Yes there is something different in how Flexibility3 works. I’m actually going to start doing some videos for that theme soon.
Ira,
I emailed you about this. Let’s connect through email.
Hi Holly,
Have bookmarked your videos this time as I had come across them before when I needed help. Unfortunately the above didn’t work for me, tried a few times however I added
#header h3, p.tagline {visibility:hidden;}
to the bottom of the style.php file and saved it and hey presto it disappeared. Many thanks for the videos, they are a great resource.
