An incredibly frustrating issue with the WordPress platform is that it's difficult to rename your Blog page without digging around in the theme files. While other page titles can be modified using various hooks, I have yet to find an easy way to override the forced title "Blog" at the top of the posts page selected under the Appearance > Customize > Homepage without some JavaScript-y magic, so I've created this quick plugin that will - when activated - simply use the actual title of the page that you specify. Why this isn't always the default action is beyond me, but with this plugin, it can be.

Instructions:

  • Download the plugin here.
  • Upload the Zip file to your Plugins section in WordPress.
  • Activate the plugin.
