[Resolved] Custom page title instead of Blog using Elements

[Teuvo]

I use GPP Elements feature to make a simple custom header to each page.

<div id="pghero">
	<h1>
	{{post_title}}
	</h1>
</div>

Unfortunately in Posts page there is text “Blog” in H1 even though a page with “News” title is acting as a Posts page in Settings – Reading.

I tried to solve this using a custom field “news” with a value “News”, but with no luck.

<div id="pghero">
	<h1>
	{{custom_field.news}}
	</h1>
</div>

It does not retrieve the value, only prints {{custom_field.news}} code as text inside H1

Is there a simple way to use custom post_title value replacing the default Blog?

Hi there,

This is still the easiest way as for now:

I believe there isn’t a way to make the blog page template tag shows up as the page title but will check with Tom.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

OK, thanks. I’ll do that or then use WP Show Posts to display articles in another page.

Yup that will both work 🙂

Glad we could help!
