Many WordPress themes only enable you to modify the website title and tagline from the Customizer. However, if you want to add more text to your WordPress custom header, you can do so by editing your header.php file.
For example, you can add the following code to your file, which will add a text box to your WordPress header:
<div class="custom-header">
<div class="custom-header-media">
<?php the_custom_header_markup(); ?>
</div>
<div class="custom_textbox">
<div class="custom_textbox_content"><p>This is where you can put your header text.</p></div>
</div>
As we discussed in this post, you can edit the header.php file directly from your dashboard via the Theme Editor. If you want to add text without editing your theme files, you can use a plugin such as Insert Headers and Footers or Popping Sidebars & Widgets (which we introduced earlier).
