    I have snippets for the headers on my site, wordrake.com. Each one, if you view the source, has a lovely <title> tag with a carefully SEO-friendly title. However, when you load the pages, the titles don't show -- just the URL. Any ideas on how to get the titles to display as they normally would? (Running ModX Revo 2.2, if that makes a difference)

      The title from the title tag in the template head will display as the tab/window title. If you want something in the URL, that goes in the "alias" field.

        Sorry if I was unclear. The tab/window title is displaying the URL, despite the presence of a <title> tag with a title in it.

          Looking at your page source, I see a meta tag named "title", but no <title>...</title> tags. Did you run the site through the W3C validator? It complains about that...

            You are using <!DOCTYPE HTML> which means your document is HTML5

            With HTML5 you need
            <title>Your Title</title>


            Instead of old and no more supported:

            <meta name="Title" content="Your Title">
