Page TItle Issue %page_title%

    10 years, 3 months ago

    I use twenty ten and WP 3.9.2. (plus wp-property as a main plugin)

    All in One SEO has seemed fine and then today I have noticed that some of my pages are showing the %page_title% in the title instead of ‘the title’ itself. So I get %page_title% | My Site Name

    I checked the settings, checked the permalink settings, reset them. Ive also checked by removing the %blog_title% – (and it was removed from the titles), and put it back in – just fine.

    Oddly the issue is not on all pages – just some – not the main menu pages but the sub pages where short codes break out the property inventory.

    *** So due to the oddity, when i switched the structure for Page Title to %Post_Title% – the initial incorrect pages/post titles show properly but the currently correct titles appear incorrectly. – and vice versa when switching it back…

    (In brief it seems – some sub-menu pages function as posts – but when i treat the titles for them as posts – with the %post_title% it messes with the main / primary menu pages…)

    Is this familiar at all – can someone guide me on how I might correct this? thank you.

    Hi jimii,

    Can you provide the URL for a page that is working and the URL for a page that is not working.

    thank you wpsmort – i sure can – here is one that is a: Working Page

    Not Working Correctly

    ( I also just saw a previous reply you’d made to someone else – also tried the force rewrite as well as enabling the original titles).

    This appears to be a problem with the WP-Property plugin and the way it outputs content. If you look at the first link you’ll see the body class is –

    page page-id-470 page-parent page-template-default custom-background wp-property-listing

    This would be correct for a page that uses a page template.

    However, if you look at the body class of the second link you’ll see it completely different –

    single single-page postid-23 custom-background wp-property-listing

    The body class “single” is typically used for posts and you can see that it has a postid instead of a pageid. Clearly something is wrong here with what the WP-Property plugin is doing.

    We’ll take a look at that plugin and let you know what we find but you may want to contact the developer of that plugin for support.

    Hi jimii,

    I tested this out, and I can’t reproduce this issue. I’ve confirmed that this is a singular post of a custom post type. Make sure you have SEO for custom post types checked; also, check the advanced options, check the box for the Properties custom post type, and make sure the title format is using %post_title% here instead of %page_title%

    Peter and wpsmort thank you both very much –

    after going through your helpful comments, I was just writing an update to explain that the problem still exists – : )

    I decided to go back and double check first that all was set as you were describing – and it was… I tried a couple more check and un-check options and then I tried “un-checking” the Custom Post Type for properties and the problem is gone away? : )

    Everything seems fine now. I thank you both both very very much : )
