Page titles and descriptions display differently across Version 7.0 templates. Here's a comprehensive guide on how they work and how to manage them effectively.

Version 7.1 Updates

In Version 7.1, page descriptions cannot be added, but page titles can be edited. Titles are typically hidden on most pages but appear in browser tabs and search results when no SEO title exists.

• Adirondack: Can hide both title and description
• Five: Banner content options for hiding both
• Momentum: Page title/description settings (excludes index)
• Pacific: Page title toggle

Alternative Display Methods

If your template doesn't show titles/descriptions:

• Add a layout page with custom heading text
• Use individual page headers where supported
• Create headers in stacked index pages
• Utilize SEO titles and descriptions for search results while maintaining different on-site display text

Remember: SEO titles and descriptions don't appear on the site but are crucial for search engine visibility. Manage them separately in the SEO tab of page settings for optimal search performance.
