Hello, I am trying to embed a variable from my templates into the title tag and it will not seem to work properly.  This is not the first time I’ve done this with EE 2 and I can’t seem to figure out why it is not working.  Is there a setting that is enabled that needs disabled or vice versa?

Here is what it looks like in the template:
{embed="common/header" my_page_title=“people” description=“Eliminating Racism, Empowering Women,YWCA”}

and here is where I am calling the embed variable in the title tag:
<title>{site_name} | {embed:my_page_title}</title>

No setting. As long as the template is set as a Web Page and not Static or something else it should work. Is

{embed:my_page_title}

in the common/header template? I’m guessing the text formatting for the thread automatically changed your straight quotes to curly quotes but make sure they are straight quotes

{embed="common/header" my_page_title="people" description="Eliminating Racism, Empowering Women,YWCA"}

and maybe make sure there’s no caching on the common/header template since the main page would be caching that anyway. You could try taking everything out of the “header” template and only put

{embed:my_page_title}

in it and see if that shows first. If that works then something else in the template is messing it up.

AHA!  I had it set to static.  I swear I had it set to webpage, but I guess thats what happens when you work on a project a lot in a small amount of time.  A little burnt out I suppose.  Thank you for taking a look.
