Titles not changing

I am using WP.org 2.8.4 I have tried the new All-In-One upgrade to 1.6.5 and my titles will not change. I still have the blog title showing up before the page and post title in the browser title bar and the AIO is configured correctly. There was a previous suggestion to downgrade to the AIO version 1.6.3. Tried this and still no luck. I have had this issue since WP 2.8.1. I am not sure where to find my .php version.

Plugins :Simple Login, Registration Plus, Google XMl Sitemaps, Forum Server, Featured posts, Tiny MCE Advanced, GWA AutoResponder

Any Ideas on how to fix this?

I too have (just) upgraded to version 1.6.5 and my custom Titles are gone.

The descriptions and keywords are there, but the title tags aren't working. I'm using WP 2.8.4 and my Title tags were working before the upgrade.

Any ideas what's wrong? wpbloghost

Thanks,

John

Hello. Still having the problem and no one over at the WP Forums have been able to help.

Any clues? I have a backup database if that helps, though it's a few posts old.

Ok I fixed it, after a lot of toying around.

It wasn't the database because after uploading my old database before the upgrade I still had problems.

Luckily, I had a backup of my hosted files and I copied my backup Themes folder to my site and everything's working again. The upgrade must have changed something somewhere, like maybe in the header file or something.

In any case, that's what I did to fix my problem. That's why backups are always a necessity.

The interesting thing is I have a running mirror "test" blog for my original blog and when I upgraded the plugin there, it went without a hitch. Everything on that blog is identical to my main blog with the exception of 2 or 3 of my latest posts.

It must have been some kind of corruption that happened as a result of a "WordPress Upgrade" process. It happens and is why we keep backup, right?

Whatever happened, the issue wasn't in the All In One plugins directory. I tried copying over the old one, restoring a previously saved database, restoring the database from my mirror blog in which the plugin worked, resetting my permalinks and none of those worked.

In the end, for whatever reason, replacing my themes directory with a backup copy from before the automatic upgrade I did fixed everything. Like I said, probably had something to do with a WordPress upgrade.

Thanks and great plugin.

Hi, not sure what you mean by all your page urls are gone. I checked out your site and your pages seem to be loading fine.

Try resetting your Permalink structure. Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks and resave your permalink settings.

Also, you should save everything as it is right now. It seems as though your site is working at least. If you go toying around with things you might break something beyond return. Make sure you have a full backup. Then if you do fix it, back everything up again.

If you're not sure how to do a full backup of WordPress, watch this video to backup WordPress [link moderated].

John,

Are you saying you reverted your wordpress version to an older version? Like 2.7.1? and this fixed the problem…. If this is the case how did the rest of your plugins & widgets work? Will i have to revert all of them as well?

Thank you for your help

No, I'd never suggest downgrading. There's an evil worm out there (virus) that attacks earlier versions of WordPress and 2.8.4 is immune.

Downgrading would involve replacing everything in your hosting directory, except maybe your wp-content folder (which includes your themes folder). That's quite the opposite of what I said worked. Here's what worked for me, but again, it was my problem, not necessairly yours.

What I did was log into my hosting account, navigate to my /wp-content directory where I (and you) should see your /themes directory. I first backed up my themes directory by simply renaming it /themesOLD (don't delete your themes directory in case you need to restore it).

At this point your site won't load. Next I took my backup /themes dirctory from my test blog which still had All In One working. I copied that /themes folder over to my primary blog's /wp-content directory and it worked like a charm.

After about a week or so, if everything seems to be working ok, you should be able to delete that backup /themesOLD directory. Keep in mind if you've made any custom changes to your theme since your old backup theme, those will be lost unless you copy and paste things over (or replace one or two specific files). This all should have no bearing with your plugins.

Did that all make sense, or did I confuse you a bit? If it was confusing, let me know and I'll do up a quick video showing you what I did. Realize though, my problem might not be the same as yours. Good luck.

Tried reloading the theme as well as loading the default theme and still no luck – titles in the titla bar did not change.

I have another website still using WP 2.7 and the AIOSEO pack works perfect. In WP 2.8.4 both the meta keywords and meta description work fine just not the title feature. I know I would have better position if this feature worked.

Has any found a SEO pack to change titles in WP 2.8.4 – I was hoping the AIO 1.6.6 version would address the issue but it did not.

Sorry for the double post – I reverted my theme back to the default WP theme and the AIOSEO pack worked fine. When I reinstalled the theme back it stopped. My theme is Chameleon. Is there something I need to change in the theme code? If so you may have to spell it out as I do not know any code beyond a limited understanding of html.

Thanks
