How To Change Sitelink Title Name

    I have a sitelink that has a weird title name.

    I’m unable to edit it either since it is like a part of a page, so when I try to edit examplewebsite.com/page/2/ (this is what my URL looks like).

    WordPress sends me to edit examplewebsite.com instead of the specific path (in this case, it would be /page/2/) , making it impossible to edit the actual “part” of the page.

    My site link, which is a specific path of my Homepage (the examples I mentioned earlier are exactly what my situation is), is weirdly named after the WordPress theme “Outside Adventures,” which is the theme I started with on my website.

    I cannot change this, and the name “Outside Adventures” is under my website as a title to one of my sitemaps. How can I fix this?

    Further details: My WordPress admin panel suddenly showed that my website was called “Outside Adventures,” and I recently just changed it back to it’s original name.

    It also wasn’t a page I manually created, to repeat myself, it is a path from the main page. This new part of the page was created because of pagination and because I filled the previous page. So there is /page/2/, /page/3/, page/4/ URLS in which I’m unable to edit either.

    Does the site link need time to change it? I’ve already resubmitted it for Index and got it reindexed, and it hasn’t changed.

    Visit my profile for the actual link, you’ll have to see it from Google searches to see the problem.

    I CANT USE CSS, SO PLEASE RECOMMEND SOLUTIONS STRAIGHT FROM WORDPRESS, GOOGLE, OR ELEMENTOR.

  • If I understand you correctly, the “problem” can only be seen on Google, and not on your own website.

    First, when I do a site:example.com search on Google for your domain, I see Google has indexed 59 of your site pages… but I don’t see any reference to “Outside Adventures” on any of the listings.

    But more importantly, when you make any changes on your website, those changes do not reflect instantly on Google. That’s not how Google (or any other search engine) works.

    It takes time for Google to revisit your website, discover the changes, and update its database to reflect the changes (if at all). This can take a few hours in some rare cases, but more commonly, it can take a couple of days, weeks or even months. In some rare cases, Google may NEVER pick up the updated information, forcing site owners to create a NEW page (new URL) to try to entice Google to pick up the new content.

    And site owners do not have direct control over this: it’s all up to Google.

    You were right! Google just happened to change the sitemap, and now it’s fixed. Thanks for the heads up.
