Strange title tag

  • Hi:

    I can’t get rid of these forwardslash characters that are appearing in the title tag. I can see that they are written into the code but have no clue how to access the code and get them out.

    <title>Jered Jones // </title>

    I can go into my cPanel and look at the theme’s html and see that they are included there. I even tried deleting them from the cPanel file and that doesn’t seem to work. I really don’t know much about it so I may have been looking at the wrong file or something.

    As far as troubleshooting, I have uninstalled/deactivated plug-ins. The title tag has always shown these characters.

    With my basic knowledge of html I have only been able to guess that the title tag is the problem since I can see the forward slashes there.

    Thank you for reviewing my post.

    Additional code from my cPanel

    <title><? bloginfo('title'); ?> // <?php bloginfo('description'); ?></title>

    I have tried deleting the forward slashes here. The only place I could find to access them.

    Hi:

    I figured it out. This being a new blog, I had spent so much time setting up all of my plug-ins that I never tried a post. The problem went away.

    Funny how problems with simple solutions can be so frustrating.

    Hi Jared

    In a first aproach the title can either be inserted via the WP admin panel or hard-coded in you index.php theme not the root index.php (and others if you have templates) – have you checked those?

    But without the source it’s only a guess.

    MAC ??

    Edited AFTER: I wrote the above this morning, but forgott to publish it, only clicked to postd now, and now I see its outdated, please igore-it.
