Blog template Page Title Not Showing

[meghanwagner]

I am attempting to put the title 'blog' on the blog page while using the blog-page.php template.

I have tried:
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_standard_loop', 5 );

but it doesn't work,

I've also tried a few functions along this line:
add_action( 'get_header', 'add_title_to_blog' );
function add_title_to_blog() {
if (is_page_template('blog-page.php') ) {
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
}
}

But nothing is working.
I feel like I am missing something...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this code. Add the code in page_blog.php file

add_action('genesis_loop', 'add_title_to_blog', 5);
function add_title_to_blog(){
  echo '<h1 class="entry-title"> ' . get_the_title() . '</h1>' . "\n";
}

Nope doesn't work. Would it be possible to have something that is blocking the code or overriding it?
I'm just not sure what that would be.

Hey Josephine,

This is how i got the title to show:

//Add Blog Title
add_action( 'get_header', 'add_blog_title');
function add_blog_title() {
if (is_home() ) {
add_filter( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'blog_title' );
function blog_title() {
echo '<h1 class="entry-title">' . get_the_title() . '</h1>';
}

}
}

Wauw what a quick reply 😉 Did you place this in functions.php?

[meghanwagner]

Yes in the functions.php file.

[Josephine]

I thought so but when I do that I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting ',' or ';' in C:\domains\vanstadtotwadwebdesign.nl\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\centric-pro\functions.php on line 212

[meghanwagner]

It may not be the best solution but try removing ’ . get_the_title() . ‘ and just entering the title you want to show, it's not dynamic but that may be the problem.

Stil does not work here...

[meghanwagner]

Hmm I'm not sure what to tell you. I'd double check that a semi-colon didn't get dropped.

[Josephine]

Just one question: did i have to adjust somthing in the page_blog.php also?

[meghanwagner]

Nope you shouldn't. What is your site URL?

[Josephine]

I can give you that but it would not be of any use, it is under construction.

[meghanwagner]

No problem, thought I could be able to help troubleshoot. Sorry I couldn't be any more help. Good luck!

[Josephine]

Thanks for your help so far!!
