Page Title not working on Front Page

It appears the Acquia Marina theme (and therefore Waffles) play about with the Page Title in the template.php... I'll have to submit a patch so that gets bypassed if Page Title is installed...

I've set this to "Wont Fix" mainly because there is a "cant fix" ;-)

Same bug found with Zen 1.11.2.1 theme.

Found that you can edit this from admin/content/page_title. Should be worked into the node edit area.

I found this thread when I was having a problem with my titles showing on the home page. My solution was found when I put the correct token in the Frontpage.

Go to this page admin/settings/page-title and there you can set the token for the "Frontpage" and I added [page-title] and it worked for each of my 4 custom (different language) home pages.

I ran into this issue but it's pretty easy to fix. Most likely the override is happening in template.php in the THEME_preprocess_html function so just do a search for 'head_title' and comment out any line that is setting the title.

example:

function MYTHEME_preprocess_html(&$vars) {
  $vars['classes_array'][] = 'theme-markup-2';
  $vars['classes_array'][] = _x_get_layout();
  //$vars['head_title'] = implode(' | ', array(drupal_get_title(), variable_get('site_name'), variable_get('site_slogan')));  
}

None of what's mentioned above actually fixes the issue

I am also having the same problem, any fix?

@justinlevi, Im using the bartik theme. How do I change?

I was not able to change the front page title of my drupal 8 site
I have done it by Jquery, and used the following code in the front page twig file.

It worked for me
