Menu issue since update

So a member texted me a pic of the forum from his tablet and the menu was showing some weird text, I could not replicate it on pc but then it struck me, even though the forum shows fine on the menu for pc it nevers shows on mobile devices. Just one of those quirks that I have ignored. So I chose to remove page title completely from the forum options and sure enough I can replicate it now.

I checked on my ipad and note 5 with the page title enabled and am seeing the same thing, seems to be an issue with mobile devices, any suggestions?

Weird. Does that number mean anything to you? Is it a forum post ID being displayed?

I am seeing this at the top of the forum page if I try and edit it

wp-admin/post.php?post=31607&action=edit

if I edit the wordpress page for the forum that is what is showed as the address, I assume it is the page number

Just did a test by adding a custom link to the menu for the forum, it isn’t an issue for that only if I use the page link

Strange.. When I check your site on the front page I do get ‘Forums’ as a menu item when in responsive mode, but when the forum page is loaded the menu offers a blank entry. Hovering over it reveals the forum URL so it’s the correct link just with no text, what URL do you get when you hover over that entry?

Same, that is the way it worked before the update, I had removed the page link and inserted a url link to the menu, I added both to my staging server that you can check out here

on forum – options – general settings, are you removing page title?  and on forum – integration – page and permalink, are you filter wp list pages?

do you have mobile phone theme turned on? if so, what do you have for removing page title?

Not removing page title in options, I am filtering wp list pages, nothing enabled for mobile, I just use my reboot child for everything

oh wait… this only happens when you are editing a post??

seems as if the menu script is getting confused by query args in the url?  that is not standard way (not saying wrong, just mean not part of wp core) of doing menu, so wondering if it is theme or a plugin that is handling the mobile menu?

Good to know kvr.. Have you managed to fix it up? Seems as though Meztli has the same problem.

Meztli what WP theme are you using?

For the record, I just noticed we have this same issue on our site too! This has only recently started occurring. I do not recall it previous to recent WP and SP updates. I would have noticed this…

The problem seems to be that the Page title does not display for the root of the forums. But it does display in Forum view and Topic view.

The page title is missing, and the page ID# shows in the menu, instead of the page name.

Page has title assigned in WP editor.

SP option to remove page title is not checked.

Screenshots below provide examples. We’re using WooThemes (For The Cause), files have been provided for testing…

No title on Forums page (Group View).

Page title assigned in WP editor.

Remove title option not selected.

forum-view.png

Title shows in Forum View

Title shows on other site pages.
