[Plugin: WordPress SEO] Auto Title Generation

It does the same thing for me. I wonder if this is a bug or a known issue?

It should actually do that indeed, you get a blank SEO title field?

After creating a new post, the SEO title field says: ” – Wise Republic” (with no quotes). Wise Republic is the name of my site. If I click “Regenerate SEO Title”, the SEO title field says: “Test Post – Wise Republic” (“Test Post” is the title of the post)

Yea exactly what jimmy mentioned is happening with me.

Yeah I need to come up with better logic there… Stay tuned ??

Also the description is not generated period unless I manually paste it in, even after I configured it for auto descriptions. :/

no it doesn’t generate in the preview yet, that’s being worked on at the moment.

Alright thanks man. Great work as always.

Version 0.1.8, coming soon, will have different logic for this, it won’t save an SEO title by default, it’ll display in the snippet preview what your article heading would look like in the post title UNTIL you set an SEO title specifically. Simpler than it used to be, thus better, I guess ??

do i have to add code to the theme to get titles to show, I use sem reloaded theme. All I get is first letter of post title, I was hoping to use plugin with some autogenerated content, but cannot if post title has to be fixed for each post. I have no coding skills

it should “just” work. If you drop a url here I can have a look, but you should probably first check your theme’s header.php for what’s there between the title tags.

Below is the code used in the sem logic theme header.php.
Unfortunately it means little to me, do I have to add a line of code?

<?php
