#2562 – Most of generated title tags no longer visible

 Hi there,

I've generated some hundred title tags. Most of them are suddenly no longer visible. A few are still visible. I installed the k2 sh404sef plugin. It seems to work fine. But maybe this could have caused the missing title tags? I have to say that I'm using k2 for all of content writing. Menu items pint to k2 categories or mostly to k2 items.

To reproduce the issue here are some links but please login with this demo account first. The content is visible just for subscribers. The k2 item restriction is managed by the extension OS Membership. Maybe this could also influence the title tags?

Here's a page with a still working title tag:

http://www.xxxx.de/loesungen-abitur/mathematik-abitur-bayern-2016/pruefungsteil-a/geometrie-2/teilaufgabe-2b.html

And here's a page with a missing title tag which shows only the k2 item title:

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi,

I rember I did a restore operation with akeeba backup. Must be last week. I don't remember exactly. This was the first time I restored an akeeba backup by clicking the recommended restore button from akeeba manage buckups. Normally I have always done this manually by uploading the backup files via ftp and using kickstarter.

Hi

I can't think of this 'cause the tiles were created long time ago and my available backups are always just from the last five days.
I'll try as you suggested and have a look at all of my backups to hopefully find the titles. The problem is that I've done a plenty of content changes and written new content in the last few days. So that restoring an older backup would result in losing all the latest content.

But anyway, it happened and I have to look forward ... If I can't get the titles back and create new ones automatic or manuell this will not affect the urls in general, right? Only how the titles become visible in the browser and search engines displays.

A final question: Is it possible to get the k2 item titles and category titles displayed in reverse order.

Example:

http://www.xxxx.de/loesungen-abitur/mathematik-abitur-bayern-2016/pruefungsteil-b/analysis-2/teilaufgabe-1a.html

should look like

Teilaufgabe 1a Analysis 2 Prüfungsteil B Mathematik Abitur Bayern 2016

Hi

I have the k2 sh404sef plugin installed but obviously haven't found the correct setup yet. Okay, will ask k2 support.

Thank you very much for your patient support!

Hi!

I've to come back to this ticked 'cause the problem with lost title tags happened again.

I created new title tags step by step and controlled them during the last few days. Yesterday about noon I finished working on the title tags with an akeeba backup. Today morning to my surprise I found most of the title tags lost again. This is really strange ...

So I restored the backup with the saved title tags in a new sub directory to have a comparison with the actual state of the site. When I finished creating title tags yesterday I was still working on the website but only with OS membership. And I remember I once purged the sef urls but I think this should not affect the title tags in any way.

You can find the restored site (with the created title tags) at:

http://xxxx.de/administrator/index.php

and the actual site (with the mostly lost title tags) here:

http://xxxx.de/administrator/index.php

Please try searching "2016" within “Title and Meta tags" and you'll see the difference.

The login I gave you with this ticket is still active. Hopefully you can figure out what happened?

Thanks a lot!

Hi

For example this url

http://www.xxxx.de/loesungen-abitur/mathematik-abitur-bayern-2016/pruefungsteil-a/analysis-1/teilaufgabe-1b.html

had the title:

Teilaufgabe 1b Analysis 1 Prüfungsteil A Mathematik Abitur Bayern 2016

The restored backup in the sub directory "mathelike2016" shows the title correct:

http://www.xxxx.de/loesungen-abitur/mathematik-abitur-bayern-2016/pruefungsteil-a/analysis-1/teilaufgabe-1b.html

Thanks!
Christian

I purged the urls only yesterday after I finished creating title tags but not meanwhile since I found the title tags lost. And I haven't deleted any urls

Hi

#4181 is the menu item with the link index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=1290. It's the menu item which assigned to the correct k2 item named „Teilaufgabe 1b".

Hi

Yes, there's a backup (see attached) and the only thing I remember concerning urls was purging them. I'm going to make backups now every hour to see what happens in the future.

One thing I'd like to mention at least: Is it possible that the recently bought k2 filter and search module causes the trouble? I followed the developers instructions and did these recommended changes described under known issues/sh404sef compatibility:

Hi

Okay, many thanks for your detailed explanations!
