    Im completely confused and I dont know what to do!

    I am developing a static page for a blog of mine. Here’s the html code

    <?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="blog-container ">
	<div class="mainblog">
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

        <div class="post">
         <h1 class="header"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
           		 <h2 class="infoheader"><?php the_date(); ?> | <?php the_time('H:i') ?> | <?php the_category(); ?>  </h2>
                    <div class="thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
 	    				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    	</div> <!--post-->
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div> <!--mainblog-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!--blog-container-->

<div><?php get_footer(); ?></div>

    All i get is “Protected:blog” and “October 15, 2012 | 10:06 |” underneath it. I have made 2 quick posts which have dummy text and a featured image. (Which is clickable in the sidebar)

    is the ‘blog’ page set as ‘protected’ ?

    for any blog posts to show, you need to add a query before the loop;

    For now the blog is protected.

    It works (yay!) however now in my <title> all i get is ” | Blue Harlequin” (site is http://www.blueharlequin.com), Im not getting this issue anywhere else!

    what is the code for the meta title tag <title>, in header.php?

    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    where did you add the query?
    can you post the full code of the latest version of the page template?

    if using ‘query_posts()’ is interfering with the meta title, you might need to use a secondary loop for your blog posts;

    example:

    <?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="blog-container ">
	<div class="mainblog">
   <?php $blogs = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'paged' => get_query_var('paged') ); ?>
   <?php if ($blogs->have_posts()) : while ($blogs->have_posts()) : $blogs->the_post(); ?>

        <div class="post">
         <h1 class="header"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
           		 <h2 class="infoheader"><?php the_date(); ?> | <?php the_time('H:i') ?> | <?php the_category(); ?>  </h2>
                    <div class="thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
 	    				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    	</div> <!--post-->
   <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div> <!--mainblog-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!--blog-container-->

<div><?php get_footer(); ?></div>

    <?php /* Template Name: Blog */ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
    <h1>Blog</h1>

<div class="blog-container ">
	<div class="mainblog">
<?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=5' ); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

        <div class="post">
         <h1 class="header"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
           		 <h2 class="infoheader"><?php the_date(); ?> | <?php the_time('H:i') ?> | <?php the_category(); ?>  </h2>
                    <div class="thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
 	    				<div class="the_excerpt"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
    	</div> <!--post-->
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div> <!--mainblog-->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!--blog-container-->

<div><?php get_footer(); ?></div>

    This is the only issue im currently having! Other than that this’ll be all resolved 🙂

    I can’t see any reason why the query would stop the page title from showing in the meta title tag (unless you are using a seo plugin?);

    you could try to add ‘wp_reset_query();’ at the end of this line:

    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    i.e.

    <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

    Actually I am using an seo pack (all-in-one SEO to be exact)

    Just tried your code and it works! Thank you! 🙂
