Forum and topic page titles not displaying

    Hi, I’ve recently installed bbpress for a new site and am currently setting it up. I’ve encountered a problem which is that none of my forum pages are showing the title.

    I’m using the Astra theme and title show on my other webpages, so I don’t believe I have it disabled anywhere, which means I can’t figure out why it’s hidden!

    I have bbstylepack and can’t find anything there for showing/hiding titles (I’ve hidden the breadcrumbs, but that’s not what I’m meaning).

    This is my forum page (you can click into the test forums and test topics and see there are no titles on any of the pages)
    https://www.triptathlon.com/forums/

    But you can see on my holding pages there are titles; for example:
    https://www.triptathlon.com/shop-2/
    https://www.triptathlon.com/groups/

    Any idea why the page titles are displaying on my pages but not my forum pages? It makes things hard to follow without the title there, particularly for topic pages. All I can think is there’s something somewhere hiding in the settings for my theme, but the only places I’ve found have the page titles set to show….

    On a quick test, I’m not seeing titles on any pages !

    But try looking in

    dashboard>astra>customize>custom post types>forums>archive forums>and look in the title section which has a toggle and lots of settings.

    There also seem to be settings for single forums, topics and replies, so you may need to work through these.

    Thanks for the reply! Hmm I wonder if I’m misidentifying what’s a title… I took a quick look at one of the pages and the title that’s showing (for example on that shop page) is the title I’ve typed in when creating the page (as an H1). So I’m thinking that means “title” in this case means that actual page title that’s auto-generated, and that’s what’s being hidden everywhere including on the forum pages.

    I looked in the section you suggested and the “forum title area” toggle was on for both single pages and archives.

    I also checked all the other areas in “custom post types” and the “title area” was on for all of them.

    Is there a code snippet I could put in that would override whatever it is and show the titles on my forum pages? (it seems that I don’t want the title auto-populated on my other site pages).

    Thanks so much for the help!

    ok there are thousands of themes, and tens of thousands of plugin, so whilst I have had a quick look at my test site with Astra, I cannot spend time on the theme to work out what you need to do.

    So to test could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

    Plugins

    If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

    Health Check & Troubleshooting

    Then come back
