Changing the Title on the Browser Tab

  • Hi There,

    I am using Meris Pro and would like to know how to remove the word “blog” from the homepage browser tab.
    I understand that I prolly need to change some code in the header.php and have located the <title></title> tags but with a little bit of fooling around I have come to discover it is not that easy.

    Does someone have a suggestion please.
    Here is the site in question https://www.norwestdoulaservices.com.au

    Thanks
    Lisa

  • Oh what a wonderful site! ??

    Yes, if you go into your header.php and find that title area in the code, and carefully only remove the word “blog” and probably that “|” next to it, then save your changes your tab will have the correct wording.

    Might be a little scary, but you can do it! ??
    Hope that helps! If not, please let me know!

    Hi BjScott,

    Thanks for the compliment ??
    I did give it a go before posting but unfortunately the head code does not look like that ??

    <head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
	<title><?php wp_title('|', true, 'right'); ?></title>
    <?php wp_head();?>
</head>

    so I am not sure where to make the change… usually this sort of thing is something I can work out ??

    Hey Lis,
    I’ve been looking still for a solution….I realized that the brower tab will change according to what page you have selected (you probably already knew that!)

    Im not sure where it is picking that up from…in general settings someplace?
    …Or I see you are using the All-in-one SEO pack…does that plugin affect the browser tab titles? Seems I read somewhere that it does….

    Hey Brenda,

    I can only think that it drawing on another piece of code from somewhere else.
    All in one SEO won’t affect this page because I cannot use it on this page. To be honest, that and the non responsive header picture are a bit of a bummer about this theme, especially when it’s premium.

    I think the problem lays in the fact that this no assigned homepage (you set to static and then leave the page unselected), whereas for Post you select blog…

    Thus there must be some code somewhere that controls this and the page description the the web crawler sees… if you do a google search and see the results it also says “catch up on the all latest happenings from Trisha” etc…

    To be honest I am baffled ??
