Blog Post Titles are Missing

Hi! Any reason why the titles are gone?

Not sure why…switch back to your parent theme and see if your titles show back. I just tested this on my local site and my titles are showing. Where did you get the child theme from?

Hmmm… that’s weird. Ok, I’ll try to switch back.

I got the child theme from the link that you gave me in the other post I asked – https://www.styledthemes.com/celestial-lite-setup/74-child-themes-for-customizing-your-theme

Hi Andre,

I switched to my parent theme just to see what will happen. Still the same, the titles of my blog posts are gone. The titles used to appear but when I installed the child theme, that’s when I noticed that they don’t appear anymore.

Any idea how can I make the titles be visible again?

Thanks!

Not sure how that is happening so my suggestion is to reverse anything you did up to that point, including going back to the version of the theme you had (if you just updated?). So far you are the only one that has mentioned about the titles disappearing. So something changed recently then for you which is why it’s best to reverse things to the point of when they were working.

Hmmm… I haven’t done much lately to affect the titles. I just installed the child theme and added a meta tag plugin.

Oh and I updated the WP version to 3.5.2 just recently

this is what’s in my content-page.php child theme

		</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
	</article><!-- #post -->

Anything else that should be there to make the title in my blogs appear again?

This morning I did a brand new install of WordPress 3.5.2 and then installed Celestial Lite 1.9.1 then made a couple posts and another page in addition to the default one that shows on first install.

My titles are showing for posts, pages, and also when viewing the post in full. I still cannot replicate what you are experiencing. I also then installed the child theme and I am still seeing titles.

However, I did notice one thing in my child theme download that I had a couple files, one in the partials folder and another in the templates folder. Those should not have been in there and not sure how I missed that; although I was still showing titles.

I just uploaded a new child theme which you can download again, but you can also contact me from my site and I can send it to you via email as well. I don’t think this is the issue, but doesn’t hurt but to try it. Uninstall your child theme and reinstall the new one.

hi there. ok, i’ll try that one. can you give me the exact link here?

thanks! ??

Child Theme Download

Hello. Yes, it worked now. The titles are visible. However, I just noticed the following:

1) the fonts became smaller (header tabs: Home, Services, etc.; blog contents and other parts when hyperlinked)

2) my page looked broken in chrome – https://www.careersupport365.com/ (green border at the top, social media icons are in black & white, images are broken, all inserted images have borders around, etc.)

3) my posts are not aligned anymore as it used be (e.g. please see left alignment of https://www.careersupport365.com/blog/)

Any idea why? Thanks.

Hi Andre. Most of what I’ve mentioned above are broken so I put back my previous version for now. Any idea why? Thus, the titles are not appearing again in my posts.

The child theme update would have been ok (since the title has re-appeared) but the problem is with the changes in most of the format:

1) images on the home page are broken
2) images in my contents have boxes even if I didn’t set a border
3) there were additional spacing in columns. thus, making them not aligned anymore
4) social media icons became black & white
5) green border (home page) turned into striped black & green

Does this mean that the child theme update is not recommended from hereon? What codes shall I put in to make them appear again? Thanks!

Hi there. Based from what you have mentioned, can you please let me know which ones should I delete? Thanks.

btw, additional information that you should know is that when I go into a certain post and/or refresh the page, the post title can be seen for like a millisecond then continues to disappear.
