Hi everyone and welcome to another edition of Shawn's Tutorials!
Today I want to walk you through the process of changing your title and/or tagline on your Wordpress website.
This is a pretty cut and dry process and this tutorial will be a short one :)
First we need to define a title.
A Title is not the address of your website, it is what you name the site.
The tagline is under the title.
This would be the line of text under your website name.
Say your website name is "Johns Radiator"
You would want a tagline line might say " We Work On All Makes And Models"
Here is a snapshot of one of my sites.
There is only a title on this site at the moment and there is no tag line (See arrow below)
.
Now lets go change the title and add a tag line!

I changed the tagline days ago but when I put the URL in the address bar I still see the old tagline. This is particularly bothersome because I had changed the niche (which is why I changed the tagline) and now the tagline that shows up doesn't even make any sense for my site. I have checked and double checked that it saved my tagline, so why isn't the right one showing up?

If you can't change this in wordpress, it might be an issue with your theme.
Contact support here and see if they can figure it out. Seems like an easy task to do in your Appearance section.

Make sure you change it in the SEO area of your website. I have the all in one myself and it must be changed there also

Hi Wayne. The title is not the URL, the URL is the website address, the title is what the name of the website is.
Taglines can be used as keywords I guess, and they play a huge role in branding.
Think about this
Brand: Burger King
Tagline: Home Of The Whopper
Home Of The Whopper is the tagline and also the first thing most people think about when they hear Burger King
