[Resolved] Post title

[Ernst Wilhelm]

Hi. I started as usual with the free template of GP theme and am actually quite happy it. After purchasing the GP theme and some playing around I started to write a blog post with sections. I entered a section and published the post. First I can’t see post title though I put it into the default wp field. The site title though is visible.

I’ve not used the site library.

Hi there,

Sections are like a very basic page builder in that they remove the standard theme elements including the Post title ( sidebars etc. ).

Couple of choices:
1. Include the <h1>title</h1> in your first section.
2. Use a Header Element to display your post title with a featured image background:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-overview/
3. Or we can provide some code to hook the title back in.

let me know.

Hi David. Thanks for coming back to me.
With respect to
1) At the end this means I need to enter the title twice for each post?
2) I am not a friend aof featured images in the background.
3) Hm.

I have another idea.
– Export all my settings
– checking the way of working with an example of the site library.
– Import the old settings, if it suites me more 🙂

2) Background images are required to use header element. You can simply add the title template tag and display it.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

You can simply add the title template tag and display it.

What exactly do you mean 🙂 ?

[Leo]

Basically do this:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-hero-examples/#example-1

But with the the template tag {{post_title}} as content:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-template-tags/#post_title

No background images needed.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

[Ernst Wilhelm]

Will do this tomorrow, many thanks.

[Leo]

Let me know how it goes 🙂

In Germany we have an expression “Jein” meaning yes and no , something between.
Yes the page title is visible but it doesnot obey the global layout defintions.
Look here.

How can I achieve this?

[David]

Hi there,

in the Header Element you can set its options to contained.
You can add a background color to match the site and add some padding to match that of your Customizer > Layout > Container

Hi David. Good Morning.

To compare what I achieved so far.
This is an already published post

This is a similar post, which should show the same featured imag

To me it seems, I need to do many small things, css stuff in order to achieve a similar layout?

[Ernst Wilhelm]

not required.

[David]

Did you resolve the issue?

[Ernst Wilhelm]

Yes and no. My interest is moving towards the Elementor plugin. It suits me better.

#1020225 is still open, but for now it’s okay. Thanks David 🙂
