How2: Change the Title from Lowercase to Uppercase in the “Clean Machine” WordPress Template

I recently set up a new blog using the Clean Machine Template.

I liked the template a lot, but I was bothered by the fact that the title and description of the blog were automatically converted to lowercase. I wanted to change this setting so my blog title would be capitalized properly.

To illustrate the problem, this is what the blog looked like with the unaltered Clean Machine theme. Notice how the blog title is all lowercase (so is the slogan/description).

This is what I wanted the title to look like (nicely capitalized).

It turned out to be a pretty easy fix.

To fix it, you need to edit your style.css file. Click on “Appearance > Editor” and choose style.css in the right hand column (click the image below to make it bigger). Locate the portion of the style.css sheet that says “*/ Header /*” and change the text-transform from “lowercase” to “none”. Then scroll to the bottom and click the “update file” button.

If you also want to remove the lowercase setting from the slogan under the blog title, scroll a little further down until you find the section containing “.slogan {” and change that from “lowercase” to “none” as well.

I changed both the header and slogan settings so my blog title and slogan now look like this:

That’s it! See, I told you it was easy!
