Post Titles disappear on Main Page

  • I am using the Tarski theme in WordPress for my first blog. I changed my permalinks to a month/post-title format in the Permalinks setting area, and then separately changed the custom titles in the “Change Permalinks” area in the “Edit Post” section. After doing this, my post titles disappeared from display in the Main Page.

    I have changed the Permalinks setting back to “Default” and see that the ‘ugly’ (default) settings are reflected on each individual post – however, the post titles are still not showing up on the Main/Home page of my blog. (The post content and images are showing up in succession, but there are no titles.)

    I am not a coder – I do not know HTML, and have had trouble understanding some of the help sources. Does anyone have a simple solution, preferably not involving a reinstallation of everything?

    Thanks!

    I should add that my very first post (“Welcome Post”) has not been affected (title still shows on Home Page), even though I think I tinkered with that Permalink as well.

    Just need help with “undoing” permalink-tinkering damage. Learned my lesson!

    Thanks,

    I have not tried to uninstall the Tarski theme, install a different theme (in which my problems went away), and then reinstall Tarski – but the missing titles problem came back with the Tarski re-install, as well as all my images, formatting, etc – it clearly “remembered” my settings so the reinstall did not work.

    Did you change anything in the template files themselves? Or just permalink settings in the WP Dashboard?

    It appears your main page (“index.php” file) is missing the_title() template tag, which is why your titles aren’t showing up.

    Thank you, DBMartin – Just a little while ago, another “tech” friend discovered my Categories had a weird bug in them. When we deleted them and rebuilt them all (and recategorized the posts), the post titles came back. Strange! But I will also keep your note to investigate in case it becomes an issue again.

    Hi, I’m having exactly the same problem, but dbmartin, I’m not sure what you mean by your comment above (It appears your main page (“index.php” file) is missing the_title() template tag, which is why your titles aren’t showing up. ) How do I insert this templage tag?

    Many thanks!
