How to Show the Blog Description in a Header in WordPress
In WordPress, the description, or tagline, summarizes the content of your blog for readers and search engines. Most themes allow you to choose whether to show this in the site header, although customization options vary depending on the theme and which version -- paid or free -- you have activated. Themes usually show both title and tagline by default, but you can change this manually from within your Dashboard.
