Two different titles in static pages?

    I have a site in WordPress with a blog and a few static pages. I also have a special sidebar to navigate through these pages using wp_list_pages but I want to use different names for the menu item and the title of the page it is linked to. For example:

    Item title (in sidebar): Washing machines
    Page title (at the top of each page/article): “How to use one of our washing machines”

    Is this possible from the Administration Panel or do I have to create an <h1> tag each time I write a page?

    No

    do I have to create an <h1> tag each time I write a page?

    That might work – although it very much depends upon your current theme. The Page Title should be the word/phrase that you want to see in the sidebar and then you can add the longer title as a separate <h1> or <h2> element within the page content area.

    Yep, that is what I was thinking of but I would have preferred not having to add HTML code from the Administration Panel (it’s for a client and it’s better if he writes the posts as if it was a normal text editor). Do you know if there is a plugin that gives you a text editor in which you can choose this? Like a expandable menu where you can pick any of the h’s sizes?

    Thanks for your help.

    Yep – it’s called the Visual Editor and it’s native to WordPress. If you click on the right-most icon (entitled “Kitchen Sink”) on the Visual tab, you’ll get a second row of formatting tools – including a Word-like dropdown with all of the header tags.
