Change Title Text in WordPress via html

  • Hi there,

    I need to somehow override the title text that appear on my webpage browser tab.

    I don’t know where or how, but when I changed the name of my blog, the tab title did not change.

    I have tried to change it under the admin setting in wordpress but it is getting over ridden somewhere (where is a mystery)

    When I right click on “inspect elements” I can see it in the html coding but cannot change it from there, either.

    I delete all my old themes, and everything else I can think of that might be screwing this up but no luck there either.

    I am using a child theme, and am somewhat capable of finding my way around my servers files if I need to.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Joanne

  • I believe that most SEO plugins have settings that can overwrite your site’s <title> tags (which is what displays on your browser tab).

    You may want to look at your All in One SEO Pack and/or Squirrly WordPress SEO plugin settings, to see if one or both of them are overriding your site’s <title> tags.

    As a side note, it appears you have some PHP being output to the browser above the DOCTYPE, looks like a function dealing with your slider may be the cause of the issue.

    OH Wow! Thanks Richard! I actually have BOTH Squirrly and All in One so I will check them right now.
    I never would have thought of that! Thank you.

    And yes, that code is running across my webpage. It was my first attempt at installing a CSS and as you can see, it didn’t go very well.

    I’ve been waiting on some wisdom from the CUSTOMIZR THEME Forum, but haven’t hear back just yet.

    Always learning ??

    Thanks for all your wonderful help. I’ll let you know how it turns out

    It worked! Richard! Thank you.

    I deactivated both plug ins and all is well.

    I would have been pulling my hair out (ok, I was pulling my hair out) looking for the culprit.

    Thanks again.
