WordPress Twenty Seventeen – Change uppercase title

I’ve recently been modifying the website for the church I used to attend when I lived in Blackwater – coalcitycc.com.au

The main thing I did was change the theme from the old ‘Pinboard’ theme to the newer ‘Twenty Seventeen’ them. It’s a fantastic theme that I was able to do a lot of things with. There were a few things that I had to figure out how to do. The next couple of posts will be a few short ones so I can document the changes I made.

The most annoying thing with the new theme was the uppercase title on the homepage. To change this – go to ‘Admin > Appearance > Editor’ then select ‘Stylesheet’ ‘style.css’. Then scroll down to line 1580. The ‘site-title’ section should look like this:

.site-title {
clear: none;
font-size: 24px;
font-size: 1.5rem;
font-weight: 800;
line-height: 1.25;
letter-spacing: 0.08em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
/* text-transform: uppercase; */ <--- add in these comments
}

As I’ve marked above, comment out the ‘text-transform: uppercase;’ part to remove the uppercase font on the title.

As you can see from the picture below, it works well!
