titles occasionally do not appear?

  Every few blog posts the titles do not display, they are there in the editor and appear on followers emails but not on the blog. Tweaking and reposting does not help.
  THanks, Nicola

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In most cases, it’s because you’ve chosen a post Format such as Status or Aside, which does not display the post title on your Posts Page (Blog).

  Take this post, for example:
  https://teamblackmore.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/life-is-a-blur-unless-youre-bruce/ you’ve used the Image Post format and in the theme you’ve chosen, Vintage Camera, it appears that the Post title is not displayed in that Post Format. (Also checked this on my test site with the same results.) Try editing the Post and switching it to the Standard Post Format.

  Oddly, the Vintage Camera Showcase page https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/vintage-camera/ does say the theme supports Post Formats, but the theme does not appear on this list https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/post-formats/ So I’ve tagged this for Staff notification as well.

  Can you give me a specific example of a post title that you are not seeing appear?

  I’m seeing all your most recent posts on your site.

  It’s definitely the Post Format here (as far as I can tell).

  I flagged this for y’all because of the inconsistency between the Showcase Page and the Post Format support doc. (my last paragraph) Thanks for looking.

  Ahhh, I misread.

  I thought that the posts themselves were not displaying. I realize now that it is just the titles. And yes, I can replicate that. My apologies.

  I will look into this and see what I can find out.

  Can you try changing one of your image format posts to not have the image in the body of the post, but to used the featured image function to display it? I think that is the issue here.

  Thanks very much rootjosh and justjennifer – it WAS the post format, which defaulted to something other than standard when I was posting using a Mac rather than my phone. All fixed! :)

  staff-ozmodiar – any assistance on updating the Support doc on Post Formats https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/post-formats/ to include Vintage Camera would be appreciated, too.

  @littlejamieb glad to have helped. :)
