Joomla! 2.5 Beginner’s Guide

Time for action – setting the HTML page title

By default, Joomla bases the HTML page title upon the menu link text (the menu item Title). However, you can also control the page title text manually. If you want the HTML page title to be different from the menu item Title, you can set a specific HTML Page Title in the Menu Link details. Let's find out how this works:

1. Navigate to Menus | Menu Manager and select the menu containing the link you want to edit. In this example, let's select the About Joomla menu.
2. Click on the Using Joomla link to edit it. In the Page Display Options panel, enter the desired Browser Page Title text. For the purposes of this example, you can enter something like Browser Page Title set in Menu Item:
3. Click on Save & Close
