Editing page title
Change your page title to update what appears in navigation menus and at the top of the page.
Your page title is what guests see in the navigation menu and at the top of the page. You can change it anytime!
What the page title does
Shows in navigation. Guests click it to get to your page.
Identifies the page. Tells guests what they'll find there.
Affects SEO. Search engines use page titles.
Creates the URL slug. The title determines the page's web address (though you can change the slug separately).
How to edit a page title
- Go to Site in your main navigation
- Find the Pages section
- Click on the page you want to rename
- Look for the Page title or Title field
- Enter your new title
- Click Save changes
The title updates immediately in your navigation!
Tips for good page titles
Keep them short. Long titles get cut off in navigation menus.
Be clear. "Travel Info" is better than "Getting Here and Where to Stay".
Use familiar terms. "Our Story" is more common than "How We Met".
Match guest expectations. If guests are looking for hotels, call it "Travel" or "Hotels", not something creative they won't recognize.
Common page titles
Home (your main page)
Our Story (how you met)
Events (ceremony, reception details)
Travel (hotels, directions)
Wedding Party (your bridesmaids and groomsmen)
Registry (gift registries)
RSVP (response form)
Photos (engagement pics)
FAQ (frequently asked questions)
Use whatever makes sense for your content!
What happens when you change it
Navigation updates. The new title shows in your menu.
The page itself updates. If your theme displays the page title on the page, it'll show the new one.
The slug might not change. If you already had a custom slug, changing the title won't update it. See our article on changing page slug!
Bookmarks might break. If guests bookmarked the old page and you also changed the slug, their bookmarks won't work anymore.
Page title vs. heading sections
Page title: The name of the page itself, shows in navigation.
Heading sections: Content sections you add to the page to break up text.
They can be the same or different! Some people like them to match, others don't. It's up to you.
Changing for multiple languages
If you're running a multilingual site, you can typically set page titles per language. This way English speakers see "Our Story" and Spanish speakers see "Nuestra Historia" in the navigation!
Check your language settings to configure this.
Special characters
Most characters work fine in page titles. If you want to use emojis or special symbols, test to make sure they display correctly in your navigation menu!
Editing page titles helps you keep your navigation clear and organized as your site evolves!
