I am trying to rename the main page of the site. I can change it through the inspect feature in Chrome, but not sure where to go in the backend to fix it.

Since I know the URL of your site. Go to /node/43/edit and change the page title. In the future, to find what page is the homepage go to /admin/config/system/site-information and look at Default front page. Then go to /admin/content and search for that page.

That was the first thing I did. I went to both the admin/config/system/site-information and admin/content and I cannot change the title of the main page on either. I'm sure there is a way in the coding to change everything.

What happened when you went to /node/43/edit to edit the thing directly?

If you are trying to change the meta title and not the page title then that is completely different (depending on if it is setup to use tokens or not). If this is the case then you need to go to /admin/config/search/metatags and change it there or on the node edit page itself (near the bottom in the vertical tabs).

When I do that, it brings be back to the search and metatag menu. And when I go directly to /node/43/edit, it only allows me to change the description and body of that page.

Are you trying to change the page title or the meta title?

Attach a screenshot of the /node/43/edit page

You need to post an image to a third party image hosting platform. D.o does not allow locally hosted images in the forums (only in issue queues).

Only local images are allowed.

I "uploaded" the image, but it gives me a red x. I went through a third party photo host. You are able to click on it.

What is the answer to my question that I asked above "Are you trying to change the page title or the meta title?".

You also missed answering my questions on the last issue I helped with. It is good to answer all of the questions that someone who is helping you asks. You know what you are trying to do and your setup. We know very little. The more info we get, the better. Most issues have several reason for it and have several solutions. We need to eliminate them one at a time. You need to help us do that.

If I had to guess at your issue, is that whoever built your theme, used some css to hide the page title field so it doesn't show on the homepage. As a result it also hides it on the node edit page. Can you edit page titles on any other pages? If so, then inspect the source code on that page and I would guess you will actually see the field there. You will then need to delete that css (e.g. display:none) and adjust it. Then I suggest removing the page title properly using template files or at least targeting the frontend css without messing with the backend.

I am trying to rename the metatag. Like I said, I can change it in the source code through inspect on Chrome but that is obvioulsy not permanent.

You may be using a different module for meta info that I mentioned above. Maybe https://www.drupal.org/project/metatags_quick

I haven't used it before. Are there meta settings at admin/config/search/metatags_quick on your site?

you cannot use the editor to submit an image to a forum post. Simply supply the link to the image on the 3rd party site.
