add Titles to blog posts

[cway]

I'm using the Executive theme. Posts on the Blog page are missing titles. How do I add them?

Thanks!

Cameron,

Did the 'genesis_post_title' default callback get removed somewhere by chance?  Usually this would be done within the functions.php file or a Genesis targeted plugin.

Let me know.

I found this in the functions.php file:

//REMOVE POST TITLE
remove_action('genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title');

Cameron,

That is preventing the post titles from displaying (most likely through out the entire site).  Commenting that out should make the post titles display again.

Let me know the results.

That brought back the titles in the Portfolio, which is not what I want. Blog posts titles still don't show.

The page called Blog is using the Blog template.

Thanks for the quick help! I appreciate it!

I see.  Does the theme have a page_blog.php template file?

Try adding the following;

add_action(‘genesis_post_title’, ‘genesis_do_post_title’);

Removing the action within the functions.php file is removing the title globally for all posts/pages.

No, the theme does not have a page_blog.php file.

I've got archive-portfolio.php
functions.php
home.php
page_landing.php
single-portfolio.php

I added that coding, and added back remove_action('genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title'); but blog posts still do not have titles and posts in the portfolio do.

Got it. For some reason, the version of the functions.php file in Executive I downloaded a month ago was missing some information. I downloaded a fresh copy of executive, uploaded that functions.php file and all is good.

Thanks for your help!

I am experiencing this same problem. I downloaded Executive again but am not sure how to upload just the functions.php file.  I am guessing it's through FTP. I'm almost sure enough to just do it but would like to ask so I don't crash the site or otherwise mess things up.

The new file size is 6,427 and the existing file size is 757, which seems strange. I'd upload to public_html/w-content/themes/genesis. Does that sound right?
Thanks for helping this newbie!

Angela,

This should be uploaded to your child theme's folder. The Genesis functions.php is for the framework and should not be edited.

You can always replace the default Genesis functions.php through ftp, then upload your child theme's functions.php file to your child theme folder.

Thanks Ryan. I replaced the Executive theme's functions.php, and it didn't change anything. My individual posts still don't have titles - here's one example. http://thebizfarmer.com/3easystepstoachievenything/ ‎ (the other posts look like they have titles because I added them into the post itself and made it a heading, but then it looks wrong on mobile as it shows titles on mobile devices.

Also, on the blog page, the listing of posts does not contain titles either.

What else could I look for?

Thanks in advance!

Angela,

Within Chrome tools. I found this within your style.css file;

.entry-title {
    display: none;
}

Then, temporarily turning that rule off, gives this result;

This is turning off all post titles.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ryan,

That is exactly what I am going for. It's basic I'm sure but how exactly do I turn off that rule? I tried deleting the entire line, deleting just the display:none, just "none" and even tried display:block and I'm not getting any changes.

Thanks -

Angela

Angela,

Removing 'display:none' should suffice.

It looks like you style.css file is cached, so the changes are not showing up.
