Hey everyone,

I changed the look of my blog and now the page titles appear twice on some of the pages. Here's an example: http://financialexcellence.net…..tt-wegner/. I think it has something to do with changing the page title and/or the slug over the course of time but I don't know how to fix it. Any suggestions?

I'm using the newest version of Wordpress and the Atahualpa theme. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Matt, can you elaborate on what you mean by title showing up twice? They look normal to me…

Go into your SingePage.php (I think that is the file name, I have been on Thesis for a while) and check the code for your page title. What is showing up is probably what should show up for SEO but not for the display. Put a – in between the title and author name to make sure you found the right place in the code and you can drop the author from the line if that is what you are trying to do.

Thanks Eric. I'll check into that. It seems to be on pages where I've changed the title at one point or another. It's like Wordpress is showing both the old title and the new title back to back.

Have you added any plugins recently? It might be worth disabling any recently installed plugins to see if that makes a difference and fixes your problem

I'm going through the plugins to see if anything is causing it. I don't have too many new plugins but it's worth a shot. It happened after I changed the permalinks to a couple of pages, so I think it has something to do with the theme and how it treats permalinks. The weird thing is it's only on a few pages.

Wordpress can be really tricky with things like this. I have always found the best way to fix these things is to try and isolate the problem. Once you have tested the plugins, try swapping over the theme briefly to see if that is causing the problem and if that isn't that then switch the permalinks back (with current theme). If you can find out what is causing the issue then you are halfway to solving it.
