Semiologic question – changing the page title

  • I have a semiologic question. I want to change the page title so that the site name comes first, followed by the tagline (currently Semiologic does this the reverse way). Some have complained that in making bookmarks, the bookmark saves the tagline, not the site name.

    Is there an easy way to do this somewhere in the theme that I’m just not seeing? The header.php file in the theme calls out “the_page_title” function which is in the sem-theme-utils.php. I have looked at this function, but I’m not sure how to change it to make my site name come first. Anyone have a workaround to this or can offer advice? Thanks!

  • in header.php, locate the title tag, and use the following instead:

    <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    Hi Dennis. Thanks for the response, but this wasn’t really what I was looking for. Also, when I replace that code as you state, I don’t get a title showing up at all on my main blog page, and the individual entries then just show the title as the name of the post (meaning the sitename isn’t called out then).

    I was looking for a way to keep the existing functionality, but to just reverse the order so that it would show:

    “Sitename | Page Name (or tagline)”

    Currently it shows:

    “Page Name (or tagline) | Sitename”

    Nevermind, I thought about it a second and just modified it as follows:

    <title>sitename <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    I lose out on the tagline on the home page, but this is not too bad I suppose. Thanks again.

    BTW, is there a way to rename the Semiologic’s ‘Blog’ intop something more personalized? TIA
