Real site title outputs

Site title controls in Elementor
Content sets whether the title links to the home page, text before and after it, a fallback when the site has no name, the HTML tag (including H1) and an optional icon. The Style tab covers typography, text and link hover colours, alignment, background, border, radius and padding, plus icon position, size, gap and colour.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use site title
A header or footer built in Elementor usually types the site name by hand, so it goes stale when the site is renamed and is not linked home. Site title shows the name saved in WordPress settings, links it to the home page with the right markup, and lets you style it like any heading.
Footer credits
Write a copyright line that always shows the current name.
Templates for many sites
Reuse one template; each site shows its own name.
04 / Installation and setup

Site title and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.

07 / Requirements and compatibility

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot site title
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does it show an old name?
Check Settings › General › Site Title, then clear any page cache.
Why is nothing shown?
The site title is empty. Set it in WordPress, or set Text when source is empty.
Why does the title not link?
Turn on Link to home page in the Content tab.
Which tag should I use?
Use H1 only if no other H1 is on the page; a paragraph or span suits most headers.
Site title plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it update when I rename the site?
Yes. It reads the name each time the page is built.
Is it accessible?
Yes. The link has a visible focus outline and is marked as the current page on the home page.
Can it show the tagline too?
No. Use the Site tagline widget for the tagline.
Does it add JavaScript?
No. It is plain HTML and CSS.
