    Hi,

    I don’t like the ‘Blog’ title as title of my homepage which is the blog page. Somehow I can’t seem to find where to change this..

    I hope someone can tell me where to set the title for my blog page.

    Thank you.

    I don’t think there is a real page where I can edit the title.. well, I can’t seem to find it.
    My homepage is set to be my last blog posts (settings -> reading) it’s not a static page. Maybe i’m not seeing it?

    Hello,

    Go to Pages > edit Home page and change “Show Page Heading” to “Off” in the Page Layout box.

    Thank you.

    I’m not using a static homepage, i’m showing my last blogs in the grid view.

    So there is no home page to edit? and I do want a page heading on my home screen but not ‘Blog’ but some custom title.

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    I edited index.php.

    Replaced ‘Blog’ with my own text and since I was at it.. I added a sub-title.
    But I’d rather did not do it in the code.. but I found no other way.

    I changed (index.php line 22)

    <h1 class="title"><span><?php echo (!empty($postspage_id)) ? get_the_title($postspage_id) : esc_html_e('Blog', ETHEME_DOMAIN); ?></span></h1>

    To:

    <h1 class="title"><span><?php echo (!empty($postspage_id)) ? get_the_title($postspage_id) : esc_html_e('Gadgets', ETHEME_DOMAIN); ?></span></h1>
    					<h2 class="sub-title"><span><?php echo (!empty($postspage_id)) ? get_the_title($postspage_id) : esc_html_e('Blog & Webshop', ETHEME_DOMAIN); ?></span></h2>

    If you have a better solution I’d like to hear it.

    Since My site contains order and customer data I cannot give admin credentials, thank you for offering.

    Hello,

    Sorry, but if you don’t have specific pages for front page and posts page selected in Settings > Reading you can only modify text in php files.

    I did some experimenting.. end finally I got something which works pretty good without editing the .php

    I added this to my custom.css:

    .home .page-heading h1.title:before {
    content: "RamonsGadgets ";
    display: block; /*- this is to make this a seperate row -*/
    }
    
    .home .page-heading h1.title:after {
    content: " & Webshop ";
    }

    Result is:
    RamonsGadgets
    Blog & Webshop

    instead of only
    Blog

    I tried to removing the ‘Blog’ (which for me is not necessary) but I didn’t work as desired (yet)
