It's on the site
The test site's footer right after. Its theme, Twenty Twenty-Four, shows the tagline under the site title: the new words are live.
Done. I checked afterwards, and it now says "Handmade mugs and bowls, fired in small batches".
Undo, if you want
One press of Undo put the old tagline back. It checked again and showed what it put back.
Undone. I checked afterwards, and it's back the way it was.

How to change your site title and tagline in WordPress yourself
Checked on WP 7.1, Oct 11, 2026
1. In your dashboard, go to Settings › General. The screen that opens is called General Settings.
2. In the Site Title box, type your site's name the way you want visitors to see it.
3. In the Tagline box, type a short line about what you do. Leave it empty if you don't want one.
4. Scroll to the bottom and press Save Changes. WP shows “Settings saved.” at the top of the screen.
5. Open your site in a new tab. Your theme decides where the title and tagline show: often the header, the footer or both.
On an older (classic) theme, the kind with Appearance › Customize instead of Editor, both boxes are also under Appearance › Customize › Site Identity, with a preview as you type. It's the same setting either way.
On WP 7.1 with a block theme (your dashboard has Appearance › Editor), the same two boxes are also under Appearance › Editor › Identity. Wherever you change them, WP keeps no history: once you save, the old words are gone. CMSHands keeps them on the card, so Undo brings them back.

Questions
What is the site title in WordPress?
It's your site's name. WP puts it in the browser tab, most themes show it in the header, and search results often show it beside your page names. You set it in Settings › General, in the Site Title box. Changing it doesn't change your web address.
What is a tagline in WordPress?
It's a short line about your site, like “Mugs and bowls, made by hand”. It sits under Settings › General, below the title. Many themes show it near the title or in the footer, and on your home page WP adds it to the browser tab. Older sites may still have WP's old default line there: change it, or clear the box.
Where do I change the site title in WordPress?
In Settings › General, in the first box, Site Title. Type the new name and press Save Changes at the bottom. On WP 7.1 with a block theme, the same box is also in Appearance › Editor › Identity; on an older theme, in Appearance › Customize › Site Identity. All three change one setting.
Can I change the font of my site title?
Yes, in WP. On a block theme, go to Appearance › Editor › Styles, choose Blocks, then Site Title (the search box finds it). Pick the font and size there, then press Save. The tagline has its own entry, Site Tagline. On an older theme, look in Appearance › Customize; not every theme offers it.
Can I undo a title or tagline change?
WP itself keeps no history of these settings, so note the old words before you save. With CMSHands, press Undo on the card. In our test run it put the old tagline back, and the assistant said: “Undone. I checked afterwards, and it's back the way it was.”
Is it free?
To start, yes: 3 changes with no account, then 10 a month once you add your email. Questions are free, up to 30 a day.
