# Editing post title not working

 * When I edit a post title and click “Update” and then view it in Safari and Firefox
   the edit doesn’t take effect. I’ve cleared the cache in Safari, still no good.(
   Same problem with editing the “slug”.)
 * The edit doesn’t show up in Preview either.
 * I’m using WP 2.9.1 with the theme Atahualpa 3.4.4.
 * Any advice?
 * Thank you, Doug

 * Thanks for the link.
 * I did a search on the forum on the website of the theme’s creator. Turns out 
   they have an option to edit the post title that shows up farther down the post
   edit page (below the “fold”—I had to scroll down to see it).
 * Problem solved.

 * Everyone I’ve built sites for using this theme runs into this problem. I suggest
   that the admin UI be changed so that the “Body Title Single Pages” and “Body 
   Title Multi Post Pages” use the main title value and are not editable unless 
   a checkbox is checked to allow them to be edited. Having the default be that 
   they are auto-set to the initial title value but then not auto-synced when that
   title is changed is very confusing.

 * dougcoe says that the Atahualpo developer forum discusses a post title edit option“
   further down the post edit page” … I cannot find that page or that option. Details?
