How to changes title on Blog pages ?

Hi there,

go to Appearance > Elements and edit the Blog Page Header

[William]

Hi, I’m using an ELEMENT > PAGE HERO > with a HEADLINE and a DYNAMIC page title for the whole site except the frontpage.

Only issue is that we’ve named the posts’ page “News”. But with the dynamic page title it is still reading as “Blog”.

How can I force that to read as “News”?

I’m running GP Premium + GenerateBlocks Pro

The easiest way is to exclude the Blog from your current header element display rules.
And then create a Header Element specifically for your Blog and use static HTML for the title eg.

<h1>News</h1>

Thank you for the reply David! I think it would be a little cleaner to leave the PAGE HERO alone and just have a function that replaces ‘Blog’ with ‘News’ – is that possible?

Odd that WP doesn’t natively allow you to rename ‘Blog’.

Many thanks, Will

Its not WP – the {{post_title}} only displays the_title which the blog itself doesn’t include. So GP adds Blog by default as in the majority of cases that is the title.

Snippet provided here to change that behaviour so it grabs the page ID title:

I put this code into functions.php, perhaps I did something wrong, but it’s not having the desired effect. The /news/ page still has a title of ‘Blog’.

News is the Posts Page

Hi William,

Could you open a new topic for your question and use the private info field to link your site in question?
Thanks!
