Post Title

  • Hi there,

    What do I need to type into the ‘Custome Structure’ of my Posts so that the post title is reflected in the heading of the address bar?

    e.g. post title = small boat

    address bar shows – https://www.website address.com/small-boat

    With thanks

  • You probably need to edit your theme’s header.php template file.

    Hi Esmi,
    Thanks for the reply. I thought it was the permalinks that I had to ‘custom structure’. I have used the permalinks to create the type of ‘post’ I want to show up in the address bar, but whatever I type into the ‘custome structure’ box just isn’t working. I’ve been typing – https://www.the-boating-store-blog.com/post-title – as soon as it gets ‘saved’ it switches this to /http:/www.the….cetc.

    I can’t link to the post titles from another website anymore, so the links are going nowhere.

    What do I need to look for in the header.php to change it and what should it be changed to?

    I recently switched off all the plugins and reactivated them one by one to see which was responsible for making the posts and pages index look so odd. It was All-in-one SEO and I think it was doing that which made the permalink structure go awry.

    I’ve been on to the all in one SEO site looking for answers as to how to correct the error, but didn’t find one. I guess I’ll just have to put up with it the way it is!

    If you having problems with Post/Page links, try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and deleting/renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

    The text in the browser’s title bar is controlled by the code in your theme’s header.php file.

    OK. I found the answer. It was to type /%postname%/ into the custom structure. Now my titles show up in the address bar with the website address.

    Thanks for all help. Still can’t figure out how to make SEO work properly though.

    Esmi,
    Seasons greetings to you and thank you for answering my queries.

    I don’t know html coding, or rather, I’m at level one in learning html coding, so I can follow your reply up to the point where you say ‘and deleting/renaming your WordPress.htaccess file.’ What do I look for and what name do I give it?

    It’s working OK at the moment though.

    If your permalinks are now working, don’t worry about it. ??
