I am looking to fix the "page name vs title (in the Title field)" issue in SharePoint 2013. Currently, whatever name is given to the page (EX: default) shows on the page in the title area.

I would like to actually show what is put in the "Title" field to show as the title on a page (

EX: page name = default and title field is Coffee Bean Company) = page title should show "Coffee Bean Company".

P.S. I am working in SharePoint 2013, cannot alter the Seattle master page (not an option in our company) and the site is a Publishing site.

Any thoughts would be so greatly appreciated!

You have two Titles in your Page

  • Site Title (Colored by red).
  • Page Title (Colored by green).

enter image description here

To Edit the Site Title (Colored by red):

  • Go to Site Setting.
  • Below Look and Feel > Title, Description, and Logo > Edit Title as you prefer.

enter image description here

Alternatively, you can use SharePoint Designer as the following

  • Open SharePoint Designer > From the left navigation > click on Home Page Name > Edit the title field as shown below

enter image description here

Both ways lead to the same result :)

To Edit Page Title (Colored by green):

  • From Site Setting> Select Edit Page.
  • At Title Field > change your page Title as you prefer.

enter image description here

Alternatively, you can also edit the page properties from the Pages library in the Site Content as the following:

  • Open Site Content > Pages > Find the default Page > Click on Edit Button.
  • Edit the Title Field as you prefer

  • Hi there, Thank you everyone for the posts.... However, on a publishing page, whatever gets put into the "Title" field does not show up on the page. Lists, wiki pages, doc libraries will show the title field however not for a publishing page.... I believe I saw the masterpage has this option commented out.... This same issue exists when linking into a page that shows data into a folder....lots of %20 for spaces etc.... I will try to grab some screen shots in the next post... thanks much csm
