getting rid of dash before site title?

  • Hello,

    I have noticed the last few months that my site has a – before it when i see it pop up on google. I would love for that to be off.

    I have checked title area and it doesn’t have it. My yoast SEO wordpress plug in editor looks like that you HAVE to choose symbol for their settings to ‘break’ up posts. I still want to use yoast seo plug in… anyway around it?

  • In Yoast, go to the Titles and Meta section. What is listed for “home page” Then go to post types. What is listed for “pages”?
