I am totally new to Joomla. I am trying to help a friend whose ISP has stopped support (for some internal reasons). We need to change the title of the home page.

1) The first place i made a change was in the ‘Front Page Manager’. I changed the ‘Title’ column. The ‘Show Title’ parameter on this page is set to ‘Global’. Yet the new title does not appear.

2) I then downloaded the entire site , consisting of 10,000 files and searched for the old title in all the files. I found the old title in one file which seemed to be used for SEO pruposes , since it had a whole lot of companies and their titles. I uploaded this file. No effect.

3) I then browsed through the database (MySQL) and changed old titles found in MetaKey and MetaDescription columns to new title. I think i checked all tables (almost 100 odd tables). No effect.

4) I found the old title in the ‘Top Menu’ item and changed it too.

I know this is a bit ambiguous but how could i troubleshoot the source of this title which does not get changed ?

Thanks,
Chak

    Titles in Joomla come from several places. As Legycsapo said, the first place you should look is the default menu item. In the Parameters (System) the Page Title should override any other setting unless you have an extension that sets the page title. The Show Page Title option determines if the title shows up in the content, it does not affect the page title.
