I have a news page but the title of the page is being replicated by the latest blog post. Can someone tell me why that is happening please?

Thank you!

Hey Aled,

 

I think this is down to what is being called between the <h1> tags of that template.

 

Are you able to copy the code from that section and paste it in here?

Cheers,

Well that's what I thought but I can't figure out why whoever built the site have built it the way they have. It's very odd.

 

Here's the code on the latest-news.php file:

 

<ul>
    <?php
        $type = 'post';
        $args=array(
          'post_type' => $type,
          'exclude' => 'testimonials',
          'post_status' => 'publish',
          'posts_per_page' => 4
        );
        $my_query = null;
        $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
        if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
          while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    
        	<li>
        	    <div class="date">
        	        <?php echo get_the_date('<\sp\a\n \c\l\a\s\s="\m\o\n\t\h">M<\/\s\p\a\n\><\sp\a\n \c\l\a\s\s="\d\a\y">dS<\/\s\p\a\n\>'); ?>
        	    </div>
        	    <a class="title" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
            </li>
    
        <?php endwhile;
        }
        wp_reset_query();
    ?>
</ul>

Yeah that looks strange for what the page is doing as the above query should show only four posts per page.

 

<div class="article-header">
            
<div class="breadcrumbs">
    <!-- Breadcrumb NavXT 5.1.0 -->
<span typeof="v:Breadcrumb"><a rel="v:url" property="v:title" title="Go to Luxury Holiday Lodges and Static Caravans for Sale or Rental in North Wales." href="http://tanrallt.co.uk" class="home">Home</a></span> > <span typeof="v:Breadcrumb"><span property="v:title">News</span></span></div>                
                
                <h1>The Cliffs Friday Night Fever Evening</h1>
                                    
            </div><!--/article-header -->

Looking at the source this is the section that you should be looking for - the article header and within the H1 tags there should be something similar to <?php the_title(); ?> that is being called to give the title of the page

Are you sure that's the right template? The reason I ask is that its a bit odd to call a template that queries testimonials "latest-news.php". I'm also not seeing a permalink reference in the source code. There is a really handy little plugin called What the File if you want an easy way to see which template is being called.
