The wordpress page name in my forum is showing twice.

Page Name = Forum

Topic title = Some Topic Title

Currently it is displaying this: Some Topic Title | Forum | Forum

Then i tried to turn it off by un-clicking the option “Include page name in page/browser title

Now it is displaying: Some Topic Title | Forum

I want to remove the page name and just display Some Topic Title

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Where is it showing twice? The page title (i.e., above the forum on the actual page)? The browser title bar? Both?
And what other settings do you have for that section of the admin panel?

It’s showing twice above the forum or the actual wordpress page title. I’m want to keep this title as this is where my <h1> title tag is.

breadcrumb and browser title bar (the same bar where topic RSS is located) are fine, they are displaying just the title.

Here are my other options selected in components>SEO

  • Include forum name in page/browser title
  • Include topic name in page/browser title
  • Exclude forum name in page/browser title on topic views only

OK – so the page name is getting shown regardless of the setting.

You need to turn on the option to ‘Overwrite page/browser title with ours’. See if that solves it.

Hi Andy, I need your help again. Overwriting the page title removes the page title of the forum in group view as well. Can i just hard code the template/theme to add the Page Title on that particular view? If yes, could you point me where to edit.

Thanks,

Mary

You couldn’t do anything in the SP theme as that only covers the display of the forum within the forum ‘container’ so the title is not included in that.
You may be able to do something in the WP theme page template if you want to go down that route although I would need to do some tests before I can advise what would be needed.
