Event titles not displaying in browser bar

[Sheila]

I have just launched a new site using ECP and the Eventbrite add-on. I have 2 hopefully minor tweaking questions. Site is at: http://roamconsultingllc.com/training/leading-with-trust
I’d like to figure out where I unwittingly did something that has removed the title in the browser title bar so it only shows the site name. I suspect it’s in a custom file but I don’t know where to look or what to look for.

Also, I need to figure out what line of code in which template I need to remove something to get rid of this ugly space: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0616tq9a1
I don’t think it’s a CSS thing, I’m pretty sure it’s looking for the event summary which I didn’t want on the single event page.

So pointers to fix these things would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Sheila. I am seeing both of these issues and it does look like something’s up here. Not sure about either of these but I’ve asked Jonah to take a look and hopefully he can shed some light on either/both of them when he hits the forums next, either later this evening or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience so far.

Hi Sheila,

On the first question, do you have any SEO plugin or does your theme come with SEO options that maybe got reconfigured for your single posts/events? Single events are either going to be controlled by your themes single.php file or the ecp-single-template.php file depending on what you have set for your Events Template in Settings > The Events Calendar > Template. If you’re using the Default Events Template, the file used will be ecp-single-template.php located in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/ecp-single-template.php (or in an ‘events’ folder if you’ve overridden this). Otherwise, it’s controlled by your themes single.php file so you would want to look there…

As for the second tweek, looking at your source I found this: http://cl.ly/3o0i1W0V0O3O1i3B0I18 – it looks like the Shareaholic plugin is inserting a paragraph and line break there. Typically plugins like that have options to automatically insert their code at the top or bottom of posts so this is probably why it’s there. You could remove it by disabling the automatic insertion and manually placing the Shareaholic function into your theme where you need it.

I hope that helps!

Oh, another place you may want to look for the browser titles is in your themes header.php file…

Thanks Jonah,
Because I’m a designer not much of a coder I use Headway framework for my sites. That means I’m not much for diving into my php files directly!

For the SEO…Headway does have built-in SEO customization by template. I just checked and the Events template (and all of them actually) are set for the title to display as %title% | %sitename%. Obviously that’s not happening for the events but is for the rest of the site.

The Sharaholic plugin is setup to insert their stuff ONLY at the bottom of each post/event which it does. I saw that same code as your screen shot. I thought it had to do with holding a spot for the Event Summary which I’ve set to display: none on the full event page. Could that be it for the spacing issue?

Any clues greatly appreciated.

PS…it’s the in that code snip that’s causing the issue. Is there some custom CSS that would eliminate that? I can’t figure out how it got there?!

[Sheila]

Sorry…wish I could edit a post. I’m guessing that is located in one of the ECP templates. Can you tell me where to look for it? Probably the summary got removed but not that break! Just guessing… I may’ve done it somewhere I should’ve before I knew to make a special folder for custom changes.

Hi Sheila,

The title thing sounds like more of a Headway issue since it’s their theme that’s supposed to be getting the event titles. I wonder if there is a way to filter their function to be able to include custom post types (our plugin uses a custom post type for events)… You might want to email them and explain your issue and see what they can do to help. You could also try using something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/ which will let you set titles for custom post types without touching the code.

If you’ve modified /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php it’s possible some extra code got put in there that’s causing the problem… You may want to look at that or /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/ecp-single-template.php – maybe the break is in one of those. You could possibly use CSS but I don’t know how reliable it will be because we don’t know for sure if that will be in every event, or is it?
