[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Issue With Duplicate Post Titles {Help}

  • I am running the latest version of WordPress with the latest version of the plugin on a Wootheme with the most recent framework.

    I installed yesterday and have triple checked all settings for accuracy.

    My post SEO Titles are all changing to the title of an article I wrote a week ago, site wide. When I remove the check from force rewrite titles the article titles change to the SEO Title+Homepage title (but appears to be pulling homepage title from the wordpress settings) no space between SEO Title and Home Page Title.

    I tried modifying the header.php and no luck so I changed it back and clicked force rewrite titles again. Uncheck box, I get the results above. Check it, I get the same title on every post.

    Is this a weird Wootheme conflict or any ideas on how to correct this?

    I would love to continue using the plugin and love it but cannot continue messing with it. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know or I would gladly hire someone that can fix it if that is an option.

  • I’m seeing similar issues here as well, child theme based on twentyten theme.

    All in One SEO worked fine. I want to use this as I like Yoast’s stuff, but this plugin seems to have major issues.

    Hey there… uninstalling YOAST for this issue ??
    I can’t find a way to solve it…. I’ll keep using All in One Seo Plugin and some of the individual YOAST plugins

    This comes down to the way your theme header.php <title> tag is written.

    Mine was:

    Yoast was substituting the ‘wp_title’ section but my theme was adding the site name and description. I swapped it for a plain <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title> and it is all clean again and back under the size limit.

    I will tinker some more though but for now I am sorted. Great plugin and not worth dropping.

    The plugin works fine now, it is activated on the main page of blueglow.se and its search-engine optimization features seem to work just fine. It works much better than the better known ‘All-in-One SEO’ plugin.

    Yeah you need to use the “Force rewrite titles” option to fix this on certain themes.

    Yoast i have the same problem.
    Im using “Force rewrite titles” , and i repaced “<title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>” on header.php

    Can you give us some instructions pls?

    @travisneel’s solution worked for me on this, too. I was having the issue of the site name getting tacked on the end of the page or post title, with no space between the or post title and the site name, and the site name was duplicated on page titles. I went into the function.php file (in my case it was includes/theme-function.php) and found the function ts_filter_wp_title — I just deleted the whole function and that seems to have fixed it! Thank you @travisneel !!!
