Hi Warriors,

I am using the Wordpress Pages widget to show my pages at the right side of my site. However, these pages displays the post title instead of the page title. Can I change it to make it show the page title instead?

    Check to see what your permalinks are set on. Settings->Permalinks.

      My permalinks are set on /%postname%/. I need that for SEO purposes, however I have somewhat long post titles that I do not want to show on the home page. Is there any solution for that.?

    Yeah that's good. Personally I don't understand why Wordpress isn't set to that by default.

    What theme are you using?

    I'm not sure what you mean about not wanting the post titles to show on the home page.

      The theme that I am using is sport-black-10. What I mean is that when I created content on that page the title was "What Is the Best Bodybuilding Diet", whereas the page title was "Bodybuilding Diet".

      On the Home page it is showing the first title, which is too long. I need it to show what i designed as the page title, i.e. Bodybuilding Diet. I hope that was clear.

    Depending on your theme and layout you might try making your own menu in Appearance > Menu

    How did you change the page title to Bodybuilding Diet ? You can change the page titles by going into the edit page screen, and changing the permalink in there, which is just below the main title edit section.

      I need to keep permalink as /%postname%/ for SEO purposes. I entered the title under Headspace - Page Title

    What you have to do is to customize your permalink by checking the "Custom" radio button in your homepage post. Then just insert "/" in the custom field.

    The following code will display "Page title for blog homepage" on your homepage (change to whatever suits your homepage), and the post title followed by "|" and the blog name (like "Wordpress SEO | fiLi's tech").
    <title>
    <?php if (is_home()) {
    print "Page title for blog homepage";
    } else {
    wp_title(' ');
    print " | " bloginfo('name');
    } ?>
    </title>
