It is possible to do this by altering the index file. Not something you should undertake unless you are very confident. Any changes will be overwritten unless you create a child theme. Look at the code block in the middle of this:

get_header(); ?>

<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<div id="intro2" class="option1"><div id="intro2-core"><h1 class="page-title"><span>News</span></h1></div></div>
<?php } ?>

			<?php if( have_posts() ): ?>

You can see this in operation here:
News page – was Blog

Problem solved. It was browser related.

Microsoft Edge – fault present.
Chrome for Android – fault present.

I decided to install Chrome for Windows to use the ‘inspect element’ function to see if I could identify any dom / code issues, but it started saving correctly. Went back to Edge and the fault came back.

All is OK now.

I had another go this morning – disabled each plug in, in turn, saving new text into that box each time. None of this worked. Even with no plug ins enabled it would not save anything in there.

Hello
Unfortunately deactivating all of the plugins has made no difference. The change does not get saved.

I have previously had plugin conflicts but those prevented the save button working. In this case the save appears to happen but the changes are not saved. Is it possible to access this data manually and edit it temporarily?

Just for info the problem was caused by the following plug in: Yet Another Related Posts Plug-in

Thanks for the offer, but I restored from backup.
I think that the issue may be Javascript within the theme functions that have been moved into the customizer. It may be that they are conflicting with something from a plugin – I have seen this happen before – but so far I can’t see anything. The problem is that after dragging and dropping a slider the save button is not clickable.

I also found that the content from the slider fields had been deleted. It only showed as missing when I logged out and back in. I had to manually put it back in. The images were still in the media library so they did not need uploaded again.

To save changes I have to add a blank slide at the end, then the save button appears. I can then save, delete the blank one and save again.

I have checked on three web browsers and it is the same on all of them.

For now my problem is fixed, but it is a step back and worrying that some data was deleted with no apparent action from me.

To add the title “News

Open index.php which in my installation was here:
/htdocs/wp-content/themes/minamaze/index.php

Locate this line:
<?php if( have_posts() ): ?>

Directly above it paste this:

<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<div><h1 class="page-title"><span>NEWS</span></h1></div>
<?php } ?>

Save or upload the new index.php file.

Issues with this:

You won’t get the red line under the first letter of the new H1 title.
It will be overwritten by the next theme update – may be implementable using a child theme, but I have not got to this stage yet.

I hope others find this useful.

OK, here is how to remove the word “Blog” from the top of the posts page.

Add this to the custom CSS:

body.blog #intro{
display:none;
}

This does not seem to affect anything else.

However, I can’t seem to add a new title manually to the page entitled News. Everything gets overridden by the posts. I will need to look into this.

If the above CSS causes any conflicting problems let me know and I will see what I can do.

In the wordpress customisation menu under “static front page” I have front page set as “home” and posts page set as “news”. The theme seems to override this setting and make the title “blog”.

I can’t see where the word “blog” is being picked up from. It is not a page title and it is not hard coded into the template. It may be implied by reasoning somewhere in the code, but I don’t see it.

One option would be CSS that stops the title showing on that one page only.

Unfortunately not.
I am not sure if it is a security related issue, but it is a pain as I had been using that feature successfully for a while.
