    My site title is showing up twice on the browser header. If I remove the site title from “Settings” it only shows it once. Does this mean my site title won’t show up in SEO? or google search?
    Is there a better way to do this?

    Can you please tell us how you solved this problem? Thanks!

    Usually that happens if you are using any sort of SEO plugin, and your theme has a customized title function.

    Are you using an seo plugin?

    I’m using WordPress SEO. I really don’ get it; Some titles are showing properly, others have my URL added to it not once, but twice.

    Check out this Google query:
    https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=50+New+Facebook+Profile+Photo+Hacks

    One of the results is:

    Any ideas?

    I had this exact problem, read a few posts, deactivated WordPress SEO and the problem went away. I am impressed with Yoast in general, and this plugin has a terrific UI, very usable. I expect this prob will be gone when the plugin gets out of Beta.

    If you are using WordPress SEO, I believe it happens if you don’t change the tile tag in your header.php to:

    <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

    I had the same issue. To fix, I had to edit the twentyten_filter_wp_title function in my functions.php (I’m using starkers theme) and remove line 206 – $title .= get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ); Then in SEO -> Titles, I set the Title Template to %%title%% | %%sitename%% to get a space after the separator in the Title.

    I have the same issue; when I enter one of my main keyword (concourstee),
    sitename appears twice on the title line in Google results, and I have my site description that I entered in SEO > Titles > Meta description template (I use Yoast)
    When I type my other main keyword (total edhec entreprendre), sitename appears only once, but the meta description doesn’t appear. I don’t know why that is.

    What should I do so that the sitename appears only once for all keywords, and that the meta description appears for all keywords too ?

    I’d appreciate anyone’s help.
