we switched to 2.4 and some of our pages/templates are still giving us some trouble

a member template to show the bio and their recent columns no longer gives me a title and the meta tags do not show up

What have I done wrong?

attached below is the code

I have blanked out my website name in the title tag

{exp:channel:entries  limit="1"  channel="default_site" dynamic="off"  username="{segment_3}"  disable="pagination|custom_fields|trackbacks"}
<title>XXXX XXXX XXXX: {screen_name}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{screen_name}" />
<meta name="keyword" content="{screen_name}" />
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hi bthom62,

Are you seeing this behavior for all users?

Some troubleshooting to try, hard-code a known username in the username= parameter. What are the results?

Are you sure the the username in the parameter has a value stored for {screen_name}? If a user has not supplied a screen name, the variable will not have a value.

I look forward to your reply!

Cheers,

I enter all members.

So I made the username the same as the screen name

A few iterations ago ( I think when I went from 1.6 to 1.7, my old way of coding failed , so I came up with this one. and it worked

Now the display is fine, but as i said no meta tags and titles on the page

Hi bthom62,

So this was an update from 1.x to 2.4?

The only thing that stands out to me is the use of “trackbacks” in the disable= parameter. That is no longer available in 2.x

While EE should ignore it, it may be causing the hiccup here. Can you remove trackbacks from the disable parameter and see if things begin behaving properly?

If not, we would want to get in for a closer look.

Cheers,

Hi bthom62,

After looking into this, the problem only occurs on username(s) with a space in them.

You can either have your users remove special characters from their user names, or use something like {member_id} as {segment_3}.

Cheers!
