[Resolved] Blog Post Title Missing from Post Archive Page

    I acquired the premium version, set up my site, and noticed something odd.

    The main blog page shows the title of every post. However, if you click through to a particular post’s page, the title isn’t there. Just a header bar with date, author, and comment; then the body of the post.

    I went through all the theme settings but couldn’t find one that seemed promising. Any ideas on how to make sure the post title appears at the top of that post’s page?

    Thanks!

    Hi Kevin

    Thanks for your support. Could you perhaps share a link to your site? You can use the Set as private reply checkbox below to keep it private.

    Thanks for the links 🙂 Please, head over to Appearance > Customize > Theme Design > Content Header and set the Heading Color to white or your preferred text color. The text and background colors are the same at the moment.

    Is there any way to get it to show up exactly like in the main Blog page? I had made the text and background identical because I wanted that ribbon at the top.

    Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to move the single post title out of its current content header position and into the post body where you’d like it. If you’d like we can look at making this change with a child theme but it will involve importing your current Customizer settings after the child theme has been installed. We don’t formally offer customizations like this but I can have a quick go at the single layout you’re after (tomorrow).

    Hi Kevin

    You can give this child theme a try: https://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/ultra-child-kevin.zip. Download the ZIP. Install from Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme > Activate. All Customizer settings will reset. You can reset your menu to the primary menu location from Appearance > Menus or the Customizer.

    You can use this plugin to import all of your Theme Settings and Theme Design settings from the parent theme: https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/

    Hope that helps.

    So I installed the child theme and imported the previous settings. That all seemed to have worked. Thanks!

    However, the background of the new customized blog post title on individual blog post pages is pulling its background color from the Content Header instead of the Page Background.

    See for instance:

    How Could Funding Possibly Be Bad for You?

    Is there any way to pull it from Page Background?

    OK, I figured this out. I once understood CSS. The child theme is using a stylesheet that tries to set background: none. However, this is getting overridden inline for some reason. So I changed the stylesheet to background: none !important. That seems to work.

    If there’s potentially something bad about this solution, let me know. Otherwise, thanks so much for your help!

    Perfect 🙂 Thanks for finishing that up.
