Hello,

I just realised that after the last update the post title is shown in plain text above the post image on the main page. I think this is an error?!
How can i get rid of it?

Here’s a screenshot.

I posted this error on the new version many weeks ago and, despite promises, still no solution. I think it’s time to say fairwell to this team 🙁

Hi all,

I got this problem too. I changed the code of the theme in one line. As I’m not an expert for wordpress themes, php or similar things, use this solution with caution. I do not take responsibility for security issues or other malfunctions. The solution works the Travelify version 3.0.8. I didn’t check it for older versions.

So, here it is:
- make a backup
- open the file wp-content/themes/travelify/library/structure/content-extensions.php
- go to line 119: $image .= '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" title="'.the_title_attribute( '', '', false ).'">';
- replace the line: $image .= '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" >';
- reload your site

@navobel thanks for this but I’m afraid it doesn’t work. I’m using a Child Theme – any ideas on how to fix that please?

I found this solution in the colorlib forum and it worked for me

add this to the child theme’s style.css
```
.entry-meta-bar.clearfix .readmore {
visibility: visible;
}

.entry-meta-bar.clearfix .entry-meta {
visibility: visible;
}
.entry-meta-bar.clearfix {
visibility: hidden;
}
#text {
visibility: hidden;
}

article {
visibility: hidden;
}
article * {
visibility: visible;
}
header.entry-header, .entry-content, .entry-meta-bar {
background: white;
}
```

@tanyakorteling , I’m using a child theme too and it worked for me (at least). But as adding CSS statements is much better than hacking the theme’s code, I strongly suggest to use the solution overide6 provided.

@overide6 thanks for sharing this solution!

(funny enough – at the colorlib homepage the travelify theme has this “bug” too)

@navobel I have tried your fix by editing wp-content/themes/travelify/library/structure/content-extensions.php .
However, in addition to line 119, I need to edit line 151 in the same way, i.e. remove the code about title.

More suggestion on this. By comparing the code in previous version of the theme (3.0.7), I found that the old version used the function the_title() in the 2 lines mentioned, while in the latest version (3.0.8) the function the_title_attribute() is used instead.
The two functions are similar, but have subtle difference.
I found that, an alternative way to fix the problem is changing the function the_title_attribute to the_title in lines 119 and 151 of content-extensions.php .

Thank you very much.

@navobel May I copy your precautions here.

About the php file
wp-content/themes/travelify/library/structure/content-extensions.php
After further investigation on the_title_attribute, I found that there is a syntax error.
As I have mentioned, in version 3.0.8 of the theme, the_title in line 119 and 151 of content-extensions.php was updated to the_tilte_attribute.
However, the code still keep following the syntax of the old function, so there will be a syntax error.
Although the_title and the_title_attribute are similar functions they have different syntax.

the_title use this syntax
the_title( '', '', false )

the_title_attribute use this syntax
the_title_attribute( array('before' => '' , 'after' => '' , 'echo' => false ) )

However, the code used in version 3.0.8 is
the_title_attribute( '', '', false )
There is a syntax error, and as a result the code does not function as expected.

My suggestion is as follows
Search for the code
the_title_attribute( '', '', false )
and replace with the code
the_title_attribute( array('before' => '' , 'after' => '' , 'echo' => false ) )

Thank you.
