    Hi All,

    I have a problem updating the page title and meta description of my website. It appears that any changes that I make on yoast SEO plug-in doesn’t seem to reflect on the actual website source code.

    Now it ended me up having 32 duplicated page titles which I thought I was able to sort out few weeks ago.

    Can somebody give me some advise on how I can fix it please…….

    what theme are you using?

    I use All in One SEO, it’s working with most of themes. No duplicates inside.

    Hi @ alchymyth. I think I am using the premier events theme. I hope this is enough information. I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot and looking forward to your reply.

    Hi @ detourdumonde. Thanks for sharing your help too. I am considering this option but I am not familiar with the functions of this plug-in so I need to do research first before jumping into the process.

    Would you be able to supply a link to your website? It may help us better assist you.

    You will want to ensure the following is within your header.php file of your active theme:
    <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

    Other than that, not much else is required for Yoast to correctly populate the meta information.

    Hi @ WP Cover. The below is currently whats on the header of my site.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Directors of Industries</title>
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ />
    <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1″>
    <link href=’https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,600&#8242; rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’>
    <link href=”css/style.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” />
    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    Should I include that code your provide? By the way, this is the link to my website https://www.directorsoi.com

    Try swapping this:
    <title>Directors of Industries</title>
    For this:
    <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

    I’m not sure if this will work either way but it could be worth a go.
