How to change the title of the Blog page to something else

Hello neuralstasis,

Unfortunately its not possible change the title of the blog page. However if you need any thing apart from this please write us.

Kind regards,

Manoj

It is possible to do this by altering the index file. Not something you should undertake unless you are very confident. Any changes will be overwritten unless you create a child theme. Look at the code block in the middle of this:

get_header(); ?>

<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<div id="intro2" class="option1"><div id="intro2-core"><h1 class="page-title"><span>News</span></h1></div></div>
<?php } ?>

			<?php if( have_posts() ): ?>

You can see this in operation here:
News page – was Blog

I did just that with a child theme, but now it is showing me both titles…

get_header(); ?>

			<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
			<div id="intro2" class="option1"><div id="intro2-core"><h1 class="page-title"><span>JOBS</span></h1></div></div>
			<?php } ?>
			
	
			
			<?php if( have_posts() ): ?>

Hi Mauko,

Your problem seems to be resolved. Do you still require any help?

Thanks!

I need help with this too! If I do the changes mentioned above, I want to be sure it only changes the BLOG title, not the titles for the rest of the pages.

It only works for me, because I made the changes in the original theme (in the child theme I can’t make it work)
The path: admin > main > options > 00.theme-setup.php

function thinkup_title_select() {
	global $post;

	if ( is_page() ) {
		printf( '%s', esc_html( get_the_title() ) );
	}  elseif ( thinkup_check_isblog() ) {
		printf( __( 'Jobs', 'lan-thinkupthemes' ) );
	} 
}

If someone shows me, how to do this in the child theme would be great
