Page Title Admin Name

  • Hi

    I am not a hardcore user of WP by any means so perhaps I have just missed something and this is an easy question to answer.

    I was hoping someone might be able to help with a issue I am having with the Pages section in WordPress. I have added several pages all of which are displaying and working correctly as far as I am concerned.

    However the problem I am having is that when I create a new page I give it what I believe is a title (NOT the meta tag title but the input box at the top of the page creation page) – I need this “title” to be the same for several of the pages – since it is displayed on the live pages as the H1 tag – I am not a big user of WP and this maybe just a hook that the specific theme I am using is putting into action.

    The problem is that while the pages with the same “title” do actually have different content on them but I can find no way to distinguish between them in the admin area list of pages without clicking on the edit or quick edit links for the specific page. So I have a list of say 5 pages all called “Chairs”. To briefly explain I want the H1 tag (which is using the “title”) to stay the same – the content has a h2 subheading tag that distinguishes itself from the other pages – all looks fine, but the list of pages in the admin area is what is causing me frustration.

    Is there a way to add what might be referred to as a “admin_name” or “machine_name” on other CMSs that is not used on the front end without resorting to hiding the “title” with CSS and adding my own in the mark-up so that in the list of pages in the admin area of WP I don’t just see a list of pages with the same name?

    Thank you for any advice.

    in the future…adding information is only good enough for how you perceive the issue, which is why a site link is always best.

    You can add //before it..

    I realise that the question was fairly lengthly, however explaining things briefly in a forum has never really worked for me, people misunderstand and I end up having to explain in more detail – so I thought I would just explain it. I am unsure how giving you a site link going to work… the problem is in the admin area.

    At the end of your reply you say I can put // in front of the text, is this correct? If so I believe I tried that and it didn’t seem to work. Perhaps I tried it in the wrong place.

    Thanks for your quick response.

    // goes in front of your shared url.

    Thanks for getting back. i’m sorry – but what shared url? I have an input box (which actually doesn’t say what it is) right at the top of the create new page or edit page form. I place a name (not a link) into that box. The name appears in the list of pages and is used in between an h1 tag – there is a place to change the url of the page below that input box but that is not what I want to change nor does that url appear in the list of pages when I go to list them. I would like to be able to look down the list of pages (which have the same name – as described above) and know one from tuther. Thanks again.
