Maybe I am too close to this project, but I am stumped.
I am using joomla2.5, yootheme template and articles anywhere. I have an article in a module, and when you click the Continue reading link, it links to the article page. There is no menu link to this article. I have the article parameters set to hide the title, yet it still shows up. Firebug indicates it is a system title. How can I hide it?
I tried creating a menu item for the article and linking to it manually from the module (instead of using the plugin's code) and the title still shows up (yes, I checked no title in the menu parameters)
I must be overlooking something, but I can't figure it out.
The site is http://www.babyproofersplus.com/BPP25/ and the module is the post-it in the middle of the page

Also, unrelated to that, I have 16 articles in one category.All parameters are the same. The menu is set to blog layout.  Why would some article titles/read more/and links in a latest news module, be linking to name-of-category/(id#)25-alias-name.html, like http://www.babyproofersplus.com/BPP25/blog/51-crib-bumpers
and others leave off the category name and id # like http://www.babyproofersplus.com/BPP25/a-safe-sleep-for-all-babies   ?
My SEO Settings are :    Search Engine Friendly URLs-- yes      Use URL rewriting --yes

Any insight would be helpful :(
Ellen

Ellen,

This has also made me a bit cross on occasion. But one thing to check
is the menu item itself in the menu manager. In the menu item
parameters (inside each menu item configuration; there's no universal
Options panel) there is a category called LinkTypeOptions and by
default (*&%$#(*) Add Menu Title is set to Yes. Try setting this to No
and see what happens. Bugs me that this is the case. And you have to
check it for each menu item.

All the best,

Mark

If the other reply doesn't fix it (it didn't for me) what might is
going again to the menu item for the link and under article options
setting Show Title to use article settings. Otherwise the menu item
settings are overriding the global settings for article titling.

I did finally resolve this. Here is an update-
I realized that if I changed the SEO settings I can see if the pages
being
generated are different and I saw that the articleid was
different-that is expected; the catid was the same, but the item id
was
different also. I wasn't sure what the item id was referring to, but I
checked id numbers in all my modules, articles and menu items. Lo and
behold, I DID have a menu item for the article in question on my
Login
menu (which i never published the module for). Don't know why it was
there...probably to trouble shoot something in the past. Once I
deleted
it, all problems solved.
