new title does not appear with latest post

Does your latest post have a title in the Admin/Posts list?

Thanks for your quick reply esmi.
Yes, the title shows in the list. I moved an RSS widget and replaced it with a “new posts” widget and the problem seems to be resolved…sort of. except that now only new posts/not all posts will appear.

Have you tried deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

It might also help if you posted a link to your site.

Hello,

I have a similar problem – but for me the post title doesn’t show up at all. I checked the name in the Admin/Posts list, there everything is ok. I also tried deactivating all plugins, but still the title doesn’t show.

@kundra_75

is that with all posts, or just with the new post?
on the front page, or in single post view?

a link to your site might help to illustrate your problem.

It’s with all posts. And there is no link to the single page view either….see here my test site: https://www.studioitalics.com/wordpress/news/

I am sure this must be something very basic – this is my first try at WP. Thank you for your help!

the title is simply not there, and probably not in the template files.

you would expect a line like this at the beginning of the loop, before the line with <?php the_content(); ?>

linked for the front poage, and the archives (example taken from Twenty Ten theme):

<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

or unlinked in single view templates (such as single.php):

<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

details and css class depend on your theme.

Thank you – this helped to solve part of the problem! I modified index.php for my WPFolio theme, and the title and date are now displaying. I was able to find the appropriate code in the single.php file:

This is what I added:

<h2 class="post-title"><a title="'<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>', posted on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(''); ?></a></h2>
<h4><?php the_date('F d, Y', '', ''); ?></h4>

However, the title and date still don’t display in the single post view. Even though the single.php file contains the same above quoted code, and so do the archive.php and archives.php (for some reason I have two archive files-?). I am unsure which of the three files are called up for the single page view, so I don’t know where to start looking for the bug.

I apologize, this theme seems to be a bit messy. This is the first time I touched the code, so I don;t know how this happened.

single.php seems to have a ‘filter’ to check for portfolio posts

<!-- This is NOT a single blog post. (So it's a portflio post/single art work) Run the following -->

can you find this line in single.php? and where is the next line pointing to?

is there some ‘include’ code?

it might point to the template file which needs to be edited and needs the title added.

I found the section you pointed out, No filter, just a lack of code.
The <h2> code line doesn’t appear here. I hadn’t noticed since I was only looking under the section starting with

<!-- This IS a single blog post! So run the following -->

Thank you for pointing me to this, and so quickly!! It would have taken me a life time to figure out by myself.

Hi, kundra_75 I helped developed the theme. If you tag support requests wpfolio, it’s easier for me to find these and chime in.

I’m not totally clear on what the problem was. Perhaps this was an earlier release? I have the same theme installed here: https://juliaschwadron.com and don’t see any issue?

Hi slambert, thank you for putting your time into this theme. I really like the simplicity of it. The version I downloaded about a week ago was slambert-WPFolio-v1.6rc3. It had a note on it that it was not yet officially released on WP, but it was the newest version. I didn’t modify the code until I discovered that the title and date for the post pages were missing, so I assumed the problem was in the original file I downloaded.

With portfolio posts, the title is designed to show up at the bottom so the emphasis is on the image. You know, that simplicity/minimal thing…
