Blog post titles not showing in Maxine theme

    Hello, I’m having issues with the Maxine theme, which I’ve only recently activated. I’ve tried contacting the theme owner numerous times but no response.

    My blog post titles have disappeared from the home page (blog) – you can only see them when you click through to read each post. They did show previously, so I’m not sure what’s happened.

    The blog is https://www.therewegoblog.com. I’m very new to this so may have screwed something really simple up. I’ve tried deactivating all the plugins, checked the reading settings (home page shows latest posts), tried activating Twenty Twelve and reactivating Maxine…nothing makes any difference and I’m pulling my hair out.

    If someone could help I would be unbelievably grateful!

    Thanks.

    Did you double-check any theme options present in the theme’s customizer panel? Your theme styles currently have this blocking the titles:

    .home .entry-title {
    display: none;
}

    Thanks for getting back to me Bill, it is much appreciated. I’ve removed display: none; from the code but the blog titles are still missing. Any ideas?!

    Thanks again.

    Further to my last message, I have now cleared the cache and removing the above code and it’s now displaying fine. Thanks very much – I will mark this as resolved.

    Glad you got this worked out! If it comes up again, I would still check the theme’s settings since the theme had the above code in its styles. I imagine an update to the theme may revert it back again.

    That’s why it’s so important to create a child theme. Whenever you want to make any changes to your theme, you should make them to a child theme instead. That way you won’t lose your changes when the parent theme gets updated. A child theme is not difficult to make and can save you a lot of trouble in the future.

    If you aren’t going to be making many changes to your theme, instead of a child theme you can use a custom css plugin (which you can browse here), or if you already have the Jetpack plugin installed, you can use its Custom CSS module.

    Oh that’s such a good point! I have no idea how to do that but you’re absolutely right – I need to as it will all revert back. I’ll take a look and figure it out. I do have Jetpack so hopefully that will work. Thanks again for your help.

    If your theme reverts on an update, check for a theme option that hides or shows titles for your recent-posts page. And if you end up using Jetpack for your style changes, you might try adding something like this to your custom css:

    .home .entry-title {
    display: inline !important;
}

    And, you’re welcome!
