[SMARTCRAWL] SmartCrawl not taking title meta

I have a custom Theme on my site and SmartCrawl not taking title meta to page source. I use this theme on many sites and SmartCrawl title meta works there fine.

All sites got same plugins, can you take a closer look what could be the issue here?

Thank you

    Hi Byron

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    I took a liberty of downloading and installing your theme own test setup and I can see the same issue there – titles are not applied by SmartCrawl.

    There are two things, however, that I noticed:

    1. The theme is explicitly printing out the title tag in the template file, while it shouldn’t have to as calling “wp_head()” function should be enough. However, even if I remove it that doesn’t help, furthermore – what’s a bit unexpected – the title is not set at all then.

    2. I checked the other site (www.talk…pies.co.uk) where this is working and while the them says it’s in the same version there are slight differences. For example, there seems to be a different template used for pages, called “Flex sections” which is not available on the site in question (with not working SmartCrawl titles) and on my setup with the theme downloaded from that site. It seems that there are some different settings for the page too if that template is selected

    I’m not that familiar with your theme to say that this is related but I’m wondering whether it is actually exactly the same, very same theme. Is it possible that there are some slight modifications between them?

    Would you be able to share a zip file with me with the theme as used on the http://www.talk….pies.co.uk site so I could compare them just to make sure?

    It would be best if you could upload the zip to some file storage of yours (like your Google Drive or Dropbox account) and share a download link with me here. I’ve marked this ticket as internal so only you and WPMU DEV staff can now access it to keep it private.

    Best regards,

    Adam
