Title of blog post missing on "Blog" page

You’ll probably need to open up single.php (if that’s what your theme has it named) and then you’ll need to add the correct WordPress function to grab the post name and display it.

The correct function inside the loop would be:

<?php echo the_title(); ?>

which would print the current page title in that location.

Thank you Evan, Where in single.php would I need to post the function?

At the top, or wherever you would like the title to appear.

I would say right above where the Author information prints out. You should be able to find it by searching for “Written by”

I didn’t realize that that page you posted a link to was an entire page in itself. Single.php would be the single blog posting, so if you clicked into a post to read more you would then be served single.php.

I’m not sure how your displaying blog posts on that page template, but you’ll need to find the .php file that is associate to the blog roll.

You can probably do so by going to ‘Pages’ and then clicking the page that holds all your blog posts, and checking the current page template on the right hand side. You’ll then need to go searching through the .php files for that template tag at the top of the file.

That would be the file you need to edit.

The blog posts are displayed under my “blog” page, but I don’t see the blog roll or any coding in it when I click on the “text” tab. I can’t seem to figure out how the blog posts are appearing on my “blog” page.

I’m looking at the various php files, and I’m seeing a page.php – not sure if this is where I need to put in some extra lines to make the title appear? At one point, I see this:

// Page title and content
				$gdl_show_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'page-option-show-title', true);
				$gdl_show_content = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'page-option-show-content', true);
				if ( $gdl_show_title != "No" ){
					while (have_posts()){ the_post();
						echo '<div class="sixteen columns mt30">';
						echo '<h1 class="gdl-page-title gdl-divider gdl-title title-color">';
						the_title();
						echo '</h1>';
						$content = get_the_content();
						$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
						if( $gdl_show_content != 'No' && !empty( $content ) ){
							echo '<div class="gdl-page-content">';
							echo $content;
							wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'gdl_front_end' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) );
							echo '</div>';
						}

Does this help in any way/

That looks like the individual page file. As you can see in the the_title() is printing out the title.

an example of page.php being used is on a page like this:
https://pplac.org/2014/03/25/display-your-images-at-the-ppc-pro-photo-expo-conference/

There is either a page called blog.php, page-blog.php, or some other custom php file that’s displaying the blog.

Below are all the php I see in my editor. Would you know which I’d need to edit?

404.php
archive.php
comments.php
footer.php
functions.php
header.php
function-regist.php
gallery-option.php
goodlayers-option.php
include-script.php
meta-template.php
page-option.php
personnel-option.php
portfolio-option.php
post-option.php
price-table-option.php
style-custom.php
testimonial-option.php
index.php
cufon-replace.php
Site Map Page Template
(page-sitemap.php)
page.php
search.php
searchform.php
sidebar-left.php
sidebar-right.php
sidebar.php
single-portfolio.php
single.php
ie-style.php
woocommerce.php

I don’t just by looking at the file names. From looking I’d assume there is some conditional check within one of the files, checking if its the blog page and then running the loop.

Look for the loop within one of the files, that should help locate the correct template:

You’ll probably see something like

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
