I’ve had an ongoing problem with the blog page titles and article titles not showing up on the group blog homepage. It turns out it was a conflict with the events-manger plugin.

In the events-manager plugin file: dbem_events.php there is the following function which causes the issue. Now I don’t know why, or what the proper fix is, but by commenting out the filter on ‘the_title’ I was able to get the blog titles back.

I hope this helps someone in the future as this took me days to track down.

function dbem_events_page_title($data) {

$events_page_id = get_option ( 'dbem_events_page' );

$events_page = get_page ( $events_page_id );

$events_page_title = $events_page->post_title;



if (($data == $events_page_title) && (is_page ( $events_page_id ))) {

if (isset ( $_REQUEST ['calendar_day'] ) && $_REQUEST ['calendar_day'] != '') {



$date = dbem_sanitize_request($_REQUEST ['calendar_day']);

$events_N = dbem_events_count_for ( $date );



if ($events_N == 1) {

$events = dbem_get_events ( "", dbem_sanitize_request($_REQUEST ['calendar_day']));

$event = $events [0];

$stored_page_title_format = get_option ( 'dbem_event_page_title_format' );

$page_title = dbem_replace_placeholders ( $stored_page_title_format, $event );

return $page_title;

}



}



if (isset ( $_REQUEST ['location_id'] ) && $_REQUEST ['location_id'] |= '') {

$location = dbem_get_location ( dbem_sanitize_request($_REQUEST ['location_id']) );

$stored_page_title_format = get_option ( 'dbem_location_page_title_format' );

$page_title = dbem_replace_locations_placeholders ( $stored_page_title_format, $location );

return $page_title;

}

if (isset ( $_REQUEST ['event_id'] ) && $_REQUEST ['event_id'] != '') {

// single event page

$event_ID = dbem_sanitize_request($_REQUEST ['event_id']);

$event = dbem_get_event ( $event_ID );

$stored_page_title_format = get_option ( 'dbem_event_page_title_format' );

$page_title = dbem_replace_placeholders ( $stored_page_title_format, $event );

return $page_title;

} else {

// Multiple events page

$page_title = get_option ( 'dbem_events_page_title' );

return $page_title;



}



} else {

return $data;

}



}

// to make sure that in pages lists the title is dbem_events_page_title, and not overwritten by the previous filter

//add_filter ( 'the_title', 'dbem_events_page_title' );

add_filter ( 'single_post_title', 'dbem_events_page_title' );

You can see that I commented out the second to last line.

So far it seems that the events plugin still works perfectly, as does the group blog plugin.

anyhow, hope it helps someone out.
