Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Sonya* Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 I have two databases, one with categories and on without categories. Both have an option Use page title ticked. Database with categories. Database index is set to Show categories. Page title is ignored in h1 and title tag, the database name is used instead. Database with categories. Database index is set to Show records like articles. Page title is ignored in h1 and title tag, the database name is used instead. Database without categories. Database index is set to Show record list. Page title works as desired in h1 and title tag. Database without categories. Database index is set to Show records like articles. Page title works partially and is used in title tag but not in h1, the database name is used instead. I have used default Pages templates to test these settings: Does it work as desired? Should page title be used in any case if ticked? For databases with or without categories, and whether to show records like articles or not. Jimi Wikman 1
Sonya* Posted October 7, 2021 Author Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Edit: the upper result is reproducible with Page name. If I fill out Page Title, then I get it into title tag but still not in <h1> on the page (except of case 3). There are three titles: Database title, Page name and Page Title, that seem to be used (or not) randomly depending on what settings the database has. Edited October 7, 2021 by Sonya*
Marc Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 I have been playing with this myself to see what is going on, and logged this as a bug internally as it doesnt seem right to me either Sonya* and Ibai 1 1
Management Matt Posted October 14, 2021 Management Posted October 14, 2021 The bug here is no. 4 should use the page title. When you choose to not use categories, then it will use the page details in both H1 and page title I do agree that it's a bit scrappy and we will clarify this in the UI at a later date. Marc 1

Page title is ignored in h1 and title tag, the database name is used instead. Probably it would be helpful, if this setting were not available on the databases with categories at all? This would save time figuring out, why it does not work. 13 minutes ago, Matt said: I do agree that it's a bit scrappy and we will clarify this in the UI at a later date.
Solution Marc Posted November 3, 2021 Solution Posted November 3, 2021 This has been resolved in the latest 4.6.8 release. Please upgrade to get the latest release, and let us know if you see any further issues. Ibai 1
Sonya* Posted November 23, 2021 Author Posted November 23, 2021 I have tested it. This result is for all cases: Database name is used in H1 on the page with database. Page Title is used in title tag of the page with database and as menu name Page Name is used in breadcrumbs for the page with database I have expected that Page Name will be used in H1 on the page. There would be a user-friendly way to customize the heading of the page without changing HTML in database template.
Marc Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 What you are seeing there would be correct as the page content changes with the database content
