Title: Display widget title Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Display widget title * anonymized-14518277 * (@anonymized-14518277) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/) * Hi! Wonderful plugin – I have been searching for this kind for a week! * My purpose is to display recent pages and this allowes me to do so. The only problem is that I do not seem to find a way to give the whole output custom title. I use shortcode (button in the editor which helps to create the code) and though in the screenshots/ images you have uploaded here and there I see title input area but in mine there is no such place (or am I really blind?!). If that is the case then still – would you kindly show me the way? There might be something funny because in my wp installation the shortcode creator appears often so, that I have to zoom out browser to get to the “save” button. Other ways it stays out of reach. * I did try in the shortcode title=”title” but that did not seem to change the default one. Default one is the page´s title and like this I have now two exactly same titles on the page. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-recent-posts-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-recent-posts-widget/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Rafał Gicgier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gicolek/) * (@gicolek) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643017) * Hello Krislynde, * Thanks a lot for the comment. Don’t hesitate to leave a review 🙂 * Unfortunately there’s no option to change any pages / posts title on the fly. It will always list the default title. * However you could manually alter the template files and doing the code update yourself, see Template Files section here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-recent-posts-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-recent-posts-widget/) * Regards, Rafal * Thread Starter anonymized-14518277 * (@anonymized-14518277) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643022) * Thank you for the answer. I just want to make sure I did understand everything correctly and that I did explain myself correctly. * When I open readme.txt (in plugins/acf-recent-posts-widget/) then I see listed options: * The widget supports the following settings: * Widget Title … * This widget title is the option I am after and I can not find it. Maybe this is not an option any more? Or is it possible to define it with shortcode? * When I open the loop-before.php (in plugins/acf-recent-posts-widget/templates/) I can find the row: $title = $acf_rpw_title; * When I delete it, the widget title is no longer dislpayed. I wonder if and how I could set custom title? * Plugin Author [Rafał Gicgier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gicolek/) * (@gicolek) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643024) * Hello Krislynde, * The title field corresponds to the title displayed above the widget rendered HTML code. Fhis is supported for the widget only it doesn’t apply to the shortcode at all. For instance I have set to it to Latest from Blog on my site: [http://screencast.com/t/rwPR0NCyW](http://screencast.com/t/rwPR0NCyW). * Note that it doesn’t have any correspondence with Posts / Page’s title so you will most likely need a custom code for that. * Regards, Rafal * Thread Starter anonymized-14518277 * (@anonymized-14518277) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643026) * Thanks for writing again so fast! Ok, can you explain me how exactly did you set it on your site? * Plugin Author [Rafał Gicgier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gicolek/) * (@gicolek) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643027) * I have dragged and dropped the widget via the Appearance -> Widgets menu to a specific sidebar and specified the Widget title field here: [http://screencast.com/t/B1TGQ67C](http://screencast.com/t/B1TGQ67C) * Thread Starter anonymized-14518277 * (@anonymized-14518277) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643029) * Ok, I see. Thank you very much for your help and patience! I will make few tests tomorrow, I am sure I will get some kind of suitable results now. And I will write a review for sure – I really like your work. I am quite new to wp and it i not easy in the widgets- jungle to find reasonable widgets/ plugins. I am really happy I came across yours. * Plugin Author [Rafał Gicgier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gicolek/) * (@gicolek) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-widget-title/#post-7643030) * Hello Krislynde, * Thank you a lot for those words 🙂 * If you’ll still have trouble sorting this issues out then let me know and I’ll try to help as much as possible. * Regards & have fun with WP and the plugin!
