"Backendless Application" showing up on tab title even when the title of the webpage has been set

For some reason, starting about two-three weeks ago, the title of a webpage has been replaced by the text “Backendless Application” in the tab (title) of an open webpage.

This is happening for both on a custom domain, and while viewing on the “debug” version of the website.

Sometimes it just flashes it up before it displays the actual (set) title of the webpage, and sometimes it is displayed for longer.

Can anyone offer some insight as to why this has started happening?

I can understand that if the title of a webpage is not set where it might display this, but it should not be displayed at all if the title of a webpage has already been set.

Hello @Michael_Kadron

the title of a webpage has been replaced by the text “Backendless Application”

We have had changes since the last releases. For now title content has the next logic:

title from Page component > title from UI Builder Setting tab > default title ‘Backendless Application’

If you don’t want to see the default title, you could add your in UI BuilderSettings tabGeneralTitle.

As for your issue when the title from the Page component is not shown - it could happen when the page has not been loaded successfully or for some other reason. Hard to say why directly. If you have a reproducible case or you could point some direction to investigate we will do it.

Regards, Dima.

Hello Dima,

I don’t see anywhere in UI Builder where this applies: "UI Builder → Setting tab → General → Title".

Can you please be more specific?

I’m only finding a place to set a title on the webpage itself.

Thank you for your assistance.

Mike

Hi. I have a similar issue, but I have already set the title in the UI Builder settings and it still shows the title of the browser tab as “Backendless Application”.
