Hi,

Odd behavior with my code. I matched the exact EE code…
<title>{if “{embed:title}”}{embed:title} —{/if} Engine City Times</title> (of includes-document_header.php)

...and the site-index.php displays the first article title…
{exp:weblog:entries weblog=”news_articles” limit=”2” status=”Top Story”}

...rather being blank.

I hope this makes sense,
Arthur

Arthur, can you paste in the whole template? I’m not sure I understand what you’re seeing.

Arthur, you most likely edited this template because I don’t see title tags in the document_head template and you’re not using the conditionals in the index template.

Hi Ryan,

Yes. I’m using your tutorial with a real project.

Oddly everything is working properly in the article view page(s). However, at the index page, title is being picked-up from one of the article, instead of being a blank spot.

I will dig deeper to inspect.
