URL | Staff | Page Titles

[Kelley Galownia]

Hi Bill,

I hope you are doing well. Three quick questions for you:

1. I’m not sure who to go to with this question, but every page on our site (with the exception of the homepage) has this strange 50.87.248.196… url instead of vcnva.org/… as it should. Do you know how to fix that? Many of our supporters get confused when we send them a site link and think it’s a scam.

2. Regarding the page I’ve linked to in this post: Is there a way to include board members underneath the staff? We don’t have photos of all of them so it would have to be a list, but we’d like to include them on this page instead of linking to a separate board members page.

3. Is there a way to remove titles from pages without removing them on the backend of the website? A few of our pages don’t need the titles (example: http://50.87.248.195/~vcnvaorg/?page_id=730), so I removed the titles on the backend; however, I imagine that’ll get confusing once we have multiple title-less pages adding up.

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Kelley

Hi Kelley,

Great questions. Let’s see if we can track down answers for you.

1. Most likely it’s set that way in the general settings. In your WordPress dashboard, click on settings and then general. The site address URL and WordPress URL are the spots to check. Generally you’ll want those to match the site’s domain name. Like for this support site, they are both https://support.organizedthemes.com

Also in settings, go to Permalinks. I would suggest setting these to Post Name as the option there and save it. That’ll change the ending of the URL’s so they reflect the page names.

2. You can do that if you don’t mind a bit of editing. Go to the appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and click on edit. From the files on the right, choose page-staff-list.php. Locate this line:

<?php the_content(); ?>

and cut it. Then paste it in right above this:

</div><!-- #content -->

and save your changes. That will move the content of the page below the staff list. You can then enter your board member list into the main content area of the page. It’ll appear there for you.

If you need to have content at the top and then something separate at the bottom you can. You’ll probably need to just hard code it in. Instead of pasting in above that line, just enter the list there. You could create the list in a page/post, switch over to the text view from the visual one. Then copy and paste it in right above that spot. That would be another option.

3. You can hide page titles on a page/post basis. You might try a plugin like Royal Custom CSS (https://wordpress.org/plugins/rt-custom-css-page-and-post/). If it works as advertised, it’ll let you add styling for specific pages only. Then on the pages where you’d like to hide the title, enter this:

.page-title { display: none; }

See how that works for you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Take care,
Bill
