How should I do my title page?

How do I remove the page title from the site title in WordPress?

  • I.e. remove page title "Home" from SEO title. So that the SERP listing is now "Site title text" and not "Home - Site title text".

  • Answer:

    I'm assuming you are not much comfortable in editing the theme files. Just open your theme folder and look for a file called header.php Open this file in notepad or notepad++ and look for this syntax wp_title('') If it is there we are good. Install and activate Yoast SEO plugin (FREE) You should be able to see a new menu item on wordpress admin called SEO. Under this click on title. Here you can change the structure of your Wordpress page title without modifying the code. By default it is %%title%% - %%sitename%% Which means if title of the homepage you have created is HOme then it will display Home - Name Of your Site What you are trying to do can be achieved by changing it to whatever you want.

Each theme is differently but it is generally set up like this <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title> So the theme is setup to display the title of the post or page and the site name. A quick workaround simply is to not put text into the title of the home page. A more elegant way to do that is to ne the post something like 'Welcome.' You can prevent that from displaying the text on the page itself using CSS. Or you can write a function that omits it only for the home page. Lastly, there is probably a plugin that will do that. Good luck.

You should check the template "header.php" where usually the page title is written. :-)

Thanks everyone who answered. I found that the easiest option to avoid having "Home" shown on the landing page but still keep the title & sitename on all other pages, is to go the the page settings of the Home page, then edit the "SEO Title" value, in the WordPress SEO by Yoast setting for that page. That means no editing of .php files and no editing of the page title structure %%title%% - etc. Problem solved.

I have also started my blog recently. Yoast plugin made all these title and descriptions changes simple for me.
