the ‘posts page’ is generated by index.php;
to have the page title appear in the ‘posts page’ you will need to do some coding;
start by creating a child theme of Twenty Twelve to work with;
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
(it is not recommended to edit the default theme directly)
copy index.php into the child theme;
edit index.php;
after this line:
<div id="content" role="main">
add:
<?php if( is_home() && get_option('page_for_posts') ) : ?>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo apply_filters('the_title',get_page( get_option('page_for_posts') )->post_title); ?></h1>
</header>
<?php endif; ?>
Thank you that works a treat! Next question – could you tell me how to edit the sidebar on the posts page please? I want to add a title to this and display news posts.
Many thanks in advance,
Kirsty
Hi, I figured out how to edit the sidebar.
Please can you tell me how to get a title on the single posts page? Currently the post title is appearing as the page title.
(i.e. when you click through into a post).
Many thanks,
Kirsty
Please can you tell me how to get a title on the single posts page? Currently the post title is appearing as the page title.
can you post a link to an example post?
this would be handled by single.php and content.php of Twenty Twelve, and it should show the post title;
from content.php:
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php else : ?>
Hi
This is my test News page. http://vip.codestring.co.uk/index.php/news/ which does show the tile.
If you click through to the blog there is no page title.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Kirsty
I don’t know what other title you expect to see on a single post.
are you referring to the meta title?
can you post a link where it does not show a title? and explain what you want to see?
Apologies, this is the first news page I have done so not too familiar with how it should look. I was still hoping to see the News page title. Would this be possible?
Tx,
Kirsty
you can output the ‘news’ title before the single post title;
in content.php, edit this section:
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
for example, change to:
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
<?php if( get_option('page_for_posts' ) ) { ?>
<h1 class="entry-title news-title"><?php echo apply_filters('the_title',get_page( get_option('page_for_posts') )->post_title); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
(you can use the new .news-title css class for formatting; no idea if this messes with the seo ideas of how to use the h1 tag)
OK thanks for your help, in that case I will leave well alone.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your reply.
Kirsty
