I don’t understand why when using the “Press this” bookmarklet from an article on the web, the original article’s title is not published in the wordpress area… can you help me with this?
L’adresse du blog concerné est gertrudemichu.wordpress.com.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
In order to grab the title from the original article, you need to use the “Press this” bookmarklet from the WP Admin dashboard. Here’s a direct link to it:

Hi, I did that, but it doesn’t work, with the new editor also it seems working with the old one.

I tried both editors. In the new one, it only inserts a “via” link. In the old editor, it grabs the title correctly.
I suggest clearing your browser’s cache and creating the bookmarklet again. Here’s how to do it:

I tried to do this after cleaning the cache, it only inserts a “via” link in the new editor, In the old editor, it grabs the title correctly.
This is a problem, it should grab the title correctly… in the new editor

Hi there – Have you already tried removing and re adding the Press This Button from wordpress.com/settings/?

Are both bookmarklets (new and old editor) not grabbing the title?
In my tests, the “old” one grabs the title fine. The “new” one I think is designed to give you a headstart on making a post by only grabbing a link to the source article and letting you fill in your own title.

The reason behind this is only something Staff can answer it. Personally, I prefer that way, because I just like giving my own title, write my opinion and then include a link to the original article.

As fstat mentioned, there was a change with the new editor in how the Press This Button functions.
I believe you are experiencing the correct functions in both wp-admin and the new editor. To continue having the button grab the title you’ll want to work from the classic, wp-admin editor.
