Hey All,

I noticed when I was creating a page that further down the page there are Atahualpa Page Options and under this one can fill in the following:

Body single pages
Body title multi post pages
Meta title
Meta keywords
Meta description

Can someone give me a brief description of what one would put for these and what the purpose of these options are?

Thanks,

Gradlebum

Also if I change the title of the post, I have to change it in this section as well. Is there a way to disable this behaviour?

=============================
UPDATE: See post #14
=============================

To remove that you'd have to delete the whole section in functions.php starting with

/* CUSTOM BODY TITLE and meta title, meta keywords, meta description */
..
..
..

up to the last closing ?> at the very last line of functions.php, but leave that last ?> in there

Attention - the above advice deletes my right sidebar on 344 (it blocks the space, but does not display at all), however only on subpages, not on homepage/frontpage - also not on error 404 pages.
With 342 this was still working.

I will have to downgrade to 342 - because Atahualpa Page Options break my page titles (qtranslate problem)

I'd also like to tack on to this topic.

The "Atahualpa Page Options" and "Custom Fields" areas on the Edit Page interface of WP are truncating the values I put in the "body title" boxes. I have a page title of several words but values I put in the boxes marked "Body Title Single Pages", "Body Title Multi Post Pages", "bfa_ata_body_title", and "bfa_ata_body_title_multi" are being truncated somewhere down the line, even though it shows properly after saving the edits.

WP 2.8.4
Atahualpa 3.4.3

what are the actual vaues you put in them (so it can be tested)

The page title is:

The Five "W"s and an "H"

It seems to be holding up now, though. It hasn't truncated the value in about 12 hours so maybe it's okay now. I had to re-input and save about five different times though. I would save it and it would look fine, then I'd reload the page maybe ten minutes later and it would truncate the title to just "The Five" and I'd have to go back and input it again.

It's possible that depending on weither you used a single quote or double quote, the title was getting parsed by the code somehow. Just a possible cause...

Can you please let me know the purpose of these page options? So far, I have been using the theme without filling these out. But I would like to know if I am missing out on some nice feature. Thanks.
-Subhash

it allows you to have a different post title on a single page verses a multi post page

i use the feature in order to hyperlink the headline back to the original source on single-post pages, but maintain the headline link to a page on my blog on multi-post pages.

however, the single-post body title does get truncated down to "<a href=" after i publish, and to edit the post requires copying the data from the custom field box and pasting it back into the single-post box - otherwise the links are lost.

frustrating.

I've been having the same problem with the page options. Once a title is entered into the bfa_ata_body_title or bfa_ata_body_title_multi fields, it is permanent. I can't edit or delete the box, so the only way to change it is to create a new post.

I also had quotations in a page title that was fine at first, but now it truncates at the first quotation mark.

So I'd like to get rid of the custom fields! I deleted the code in the functions.php file, but when I go to create a new post, the custom fields box is still there. Any ideas?

The same problem here!
Tried to wipe out the code in functions.php as described - but it only took away the Atahualpa Page options box - it didn't solve the problem of not being able to change a page title by changing the words in the page title field.

Is there any solution at this point or will it be solved in the 3.4.7-version?

There is actually two part to this fix
Part 1 - edit functions.php and delete lines 491-630 (version 3.4.6). This code can be identified by the first line being

/* CUSTOM BODY TITLE and meta title, meta keywords, meta description */

and ends just before the line

// Since 3.4.3: Add Spam and Delete links to comments

DO NOT DELETE TO THE END of function.php or you will get rid of some added features. Removing this code will prevent any NEW posts from having the custom fields 'bfa_ata_body_title' and 'bfa_ata_body_title_multi' from being created, however previously created posts may have those fields and they will be used in the title, which brings us to part 2

Part 2 - delete the two custom fields and contents from existing posts
this next step involved deleting some rows from teh database.
1) backup your database!!! and make sure it is a good copy
2) using phpMyAdmin select yout wordpress database
3) select the 'SQL' tab
4) enter the following SQL statement. MAKE SURE the prefix matches your own, if you changed wp_' to something else, you must change it in the SQL statement.

delete * FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE meta_key like 'bfa_ata_body_title'

and press 'GO'
this should remove any existing custom fields so you can change the titles on all posts.

Yeah, this would be good, somehow I do not get it as well.

but I think "Can someone give me a brief description of what one would put for these and what the purpose of these options are?" is not really answered.

Thanks

Juggledad, using that SQL query shows the affected posts, but does not remove the fields. I have pages and pages of them to remove, so can you give the statement for finding and removing all the affected fields?

But, since the ATA custom title fields show up only in the custom fields part of the old posts, is it OK to just leave them? I don't think they'll bother our users if they show up only there, because there will probably be no need to be editing the titles of old posts in the future.

select...delete... you would think I'd know the difference. Sigh. It should have been 'delete' (I changed it in the above post)

Hello everybody, my first question in this forum!
juggledad please:
/ *delete * FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE meta_key like 'bfa_ata_body_title' */
do we have to delete also the meta_key bfa_ata_body_title ?
Thank's
