Site name showing up double on browser tab and search results

  • This is my SECOND time trying to find help for my problem.

    My site aladygoeswest.com is having some issues.

    On a browser tab, the site name shows up TWICE when a page/post is selected. It will say “Friday Favorites” A Lady Goes West-A Lady Goes West.

    When a post is shown in Google search results, the same thing happens. The site name “A Lady Goes West” shows up twice.

    Is this something I can fix in Yoast in the Titles page?

    Here is what my Page Title says when I open Yoast: %%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

    Any assistance?? Please!!

  • Maybe try this simple thing:

    Go Settings > Reading > Front page displays : choose one page and not all latest posts. Some templates are built like that to work.

    Nope that didn’t work. I feel like the problem must be in the Yoast settings?? Hmmm… what do you think?

    You need to make sure that your header has the following code for title
    <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

    Otherwise it will show two times

    I’m having the same problem and doing lots of searching in Forum. 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. I’ll let you know if I get somewhere, but additional help is appreciated from anyone out there.

    I also changed the title tags code Aadhaar card has listed above, and it did nothing.
