Installed Youst, double title in search results

    I uninstalled Google XML Sitemap to install Youst SEO to be able to control how the titel of the home page was picked up by search engines.

    Now the title comes up twice in Yahoo and Bing in search results.

    So:

    Four Panel PressFour Panel Press.

    Plus, Google Search Console says it can’t read my XML sitemap file.

    Site address is: fourpanelpress.com

    Can you help?

    The threads do point to Youst SEO, which I just deactivated.

    I found these helpful:

    From another:
    I had the same issue. To fix, I had to edit the twentyten_filter_wp_title function in my functions.php (I’m using starkers theme) and remove line 206 – $title .= get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ); Then in SEO -> Titles, I set the Title Template to %%title%% | %%sitename%% to get a space after the separator in the Title.

    From other forum posts, even if you don’t change your functions.php, lots of people posted about changing the SEO – Titles, if you are keeping Youst SEO activated.

    I’ve been searching for two days, and I’m trying all of these. If someone can offer some help…
