Hever: Theme no longer respects "Display Site Title and Tagline" in Site Identity

[pauljacobson]

Quick summary

A customer reported that their theme no longer supports the option to add a site title and tagline, and have this not display in the header while using the Hever theme. Instead, even though the Display Site Title and Tagline option is disabled, the site title still displays in the header, as you can see here:

Steps to reproduce

1. Head to the Customizer, to "Site Identity" for a site that has the Hever theme activated;
2. Ensure that the Display Site Title and Tagline option is unchecked, and type in a site title;
3. Observe that the site title displays in the header even though the option to display this is disabled.

What you expected to happen

When the Display Site Title and Tagline option is disabled, the site title and tagline should be hidden from view.

What actually happened

When the Display Site Title and Tagline option is disabled, the site title and the tagline display in the header.

I cannot reproduce this. I tried simple, AT, the theme's demo site, and even the user's site.
It sounds like a temporary shortage.

I followed up with the user to let them know it's fixed now.
