    For me the title tags are not rewriting at all. Everything else seems to be okay. Is there something I might have mis-configured??

    Could you tell me what your header.php has inbetween <title> and </title> ?

    I have exactly the same problem.

    Inbetween <title> and </title> in my header.php I have this:

    <title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); echo " - "; bloginfo('description');
} elseif (is_category() ) {single_cat_title(); echo " - "; bloginfo('name');
} elseif (is_single() || is_page() ) {single_post_title(); echo " - "; bloginfo('name');
} elseif (is_search() ) {bloginfo('name'); echo " search results: "; echo wp_specialchars($s);
} else { wp_title('',true); }?></title>

    I know that you wrote that header.php should contain reference to wp_title(”), but I am not sure what exactly should I put there. I’ve entered
    <?php wp_title(''); ?> somewhere inbetween <head> and </head> but it does not work. Sorry I am not much of the coder. Could you please help me out? Thank you.

    Ok found the solution ?? I have just put this <?php wp_title(''); ?> inbetween <title> and </title>. As I said I am not a coder at all :).

    Thanks for the great plugin ??

    For me I am using Thematic as a theme. How can I accomplish this using Thematic??

    ok this is just a guess. I have not checked it:

    from the header.php try to remove this:

    `// Creating the doc title
    thematic_doctitle();`

    and this:

    `// Creating the description
    thematic_show_description();`

    and add this:

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

    right above the “</head>” and below the “?>”

    if this will not work try to add wp_title(”); right above the “?>”

    good luck ??

    I figured out how to do this properly

    function test_doctitle() {
	return wp_title('', 0);
}
add_filter('thematic_doctitle','test_doctitle');

    And that’s All Folks!!!!!

    The plugin doesn’t seem to work for me. It does not rewrite de description and the keywords of my blog. I’m using WordPress 3.0.1 with multisite enabled, and inbetween <title> and </title> in my header.php I have this:

    <title><?php if(is_single()){	single_post_title();echo ' - ';bloginfo('name');}elseif(is_home()||is_front_page()){bloginfo('name');istudio_page_number();}elseif(is_page()){single_post_title(''); echo ' - ';bloginfo('name');}elseif(is_search()){printf( __('Search results for "%s"','iStudio'),esc_html($s));istudio_page_number();echo ' - '; bloginfo('name');}elseif(is_404()){_e('Error 404 - Not Found','iStudio');echo ' - ';bloginfo('name');}else{wp_title('');echo ' - ';bloginfo('name');istudio_page_number();}?></title>

    I must say that I’m a newbie, and there might be a simple fix, but I can’t find it.

    I changed to <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title> and it’s the same.

    @darknailblue: thanks for the fix, I’ve included this to be in 0.1.5.

    @cipri: have you been able to solve the problem?

    One thing I discovered that is important: you must put

    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    before the closing </head> tag. That allows the plugin to hook in. Otherwise, you will not see your meta description/keywords tags!

    Im having a similar issue too.

    This is what Im getting in my homepage title:

    South Wales Web Design – Inspired WorxSITE TITLE TAGLINE

    Why is the SITE NAME and TAGLINE being added to the end?

    Thanks

    I encounter the same problem as welshhuw
    Site name and tagline are added to the end of the title
    Would be nice to get this fixed, oherwise I have to use All-in-one-seo again, but I prefer this plugin

    This is getting silly now… Anyone help me out with this great plugin??

    Looks like ill have to resort back to All in one ??
