All meta titles disappear after activating plugin

Didn’t follow you – can you help me with responses to the following, please?

1. Which meta title are you referring to? Are you talking of meta tags?
2. When you say, “The meta titles appear for a moment during page load but then disappear completely”, where is it appearing when your site is loading? Where are you seeing them?
3. Who or what is populating the meta titles? Do they come from your theme? I know that WP has no internal constructs for meta tags.

Please provide a URL where this is happening.

I am pretty sure Photonic has nothing that deals with anything other than image titles – it doesn’t even touch the meta tags for any page, so if anything there is some JavaScript in your theme that is conflicting with some of Photonic’s JS, and that might be causing an error. But since your theme is not from www.remarpro.com, I cannot do any troubleshooting without looking at your site.

I am considering this plugin for my church’s web site…

https://www.protomartyr.org/

But when I activate it, the page meta titles (in the browser tab) disappear. When I deactivate this plugin, they return. You can see them appear in the browser tab (and within the <title> tag in the code inspector) during page load. They are either a combination of the Site Title + Tagline (home page) or Post Title + Site Title (page posts).

I have re-activated the plugin so you can see for yourself.

What lightbox library have you selected? Can you pick Swipebox from Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Inbuilt Lightbox Libraries?

I hadn’t changed the lightbox library and it is set to Swipebox by default. I also tried FancyBox, None and Non-bundled. Same issue.

When I “View Source” for your site, I see the title tag, so it seems like some JS is removing it dynamically.

Photonic has one JS file of its own (photonic.js) and it includes a lightbox JS, neither of which does anything to the document’s title. I will need to track this down using script debugging on your site (I don’t need access – I just need the plugin activated). Can you leave the plugin on till the end of the day? I am a bit busy with other things right now.

Hi,
I tried troubleshooting this, and I can confirm that this is due to something at your theme’s end, which is conflicting with Photonic. I am able to do see the title for every other theme that I use, however for your theme the title seems to disappear midway.

I will try troubleshooting this, but it is very hard for me to pinpoint the cause at this point.

OK – I have an update. I believe there is some conflict between cs-body.min.js and Photonic’s scripts that is causing this issue. From the looks of it, your theme uses Bootstrap’s Tooltip, which is incompatible with the JQuery Tooltip that ships with WordPress (and is used by Photonic).

Please try implementing the suggestion here, about replacing the tooltip script. Let me know if that works, and I will figure a way to put this in the code.

Incidentally if you use any plugin that uses JQuery Tooltip as per the method prescribed by JQuery, you will run into this issue.
