Need a Quick Nod Yes or No – ref Yoast.com Post

Hi …

Just finished reading a post on Yoast.com – 10 Checks to the Perfect WordPress Theme. https://yoast.com/perfect-wordpress-theme/

I didn’t go with one of the templates that were offered, I have gone with an outside source. I have done nothing yet but came across the post about theme’s. It is the last point that I wasn’t sure about and just wanted clarified.

Ref title tags he wrote …

“It will probably look something like this:

<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

If it does, you’ll be a lot better off by changing it around to:

<title><?php wp_title(); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>”

Mine looks like this – if I even have the right one, I know nothing about this kind of thing or even if the &?lt etc’s mean something specific.

<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

Looking at it myself, I would say no because the bloginfo is first in the line. Am I correct, my title etc is wrong and I need to change it?

site is https://www.how-to-buy-a-car.ca – I am just starting so haven’t written any posts etc yet, but would like to have the proper format before I start as opposed to being in the thick of it.

Thank you for your time … and thanks for helping!!
