  • More people have this issue, nog good for SEO of website!!!

    Please fix this omg.

    Not having this issue on our sites.

    Did you check the actual page source of your post to see what actual meta data is on the page? Did your theme add second title tag ?

    Also note if Google has previously indexed your site with “post – Site Name” t hey may not immediately update that if you change it. Resubmitting your sitemap manually in your search console can help, though.

    I see this at single.php in my theme “<h1 class=”stitle”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>”. It just title post, right?

    Resubmit sitemap with what? Sitemap from YOAST?

    Hi, welcome to web development; it’s a learning process.

    Good to learn in your web browser how to “view source” for your web pages, this shows you exactly what is “rendered” for the web. This lets you check WHAT is actually seen by bots, Google, etc. See the help for your web browser on “how to view page source.”

    You should be submitting your sitemap to Google, etc., via “search console” account (aka “webmaster tools”). This is how Google reads your sitemap to create elements for SERPS. If you don’t have a Search Console account for your website, good time to make one, and verify your site, then manage your sitemap(s) there.

    h1 tag is for the body of your posts, not the <head> elements, where all your meta data lives.

    Good luck!

    hi,

    I’m sorry, now I know what you mean. I’m open my source code and I see the meta title. Meta title : <title>Post Title</title> nothing – Blog name there.

    Whats likely happening is that you originally had the post with the title “post title” – “blog name”.

    But Google hasn’t updated the title in the search results page.

    @destac I never use that title Sir
    and this my header.php looks like
    <title><?php if ( is_home() ) { ?><?php bloginfo('name'); } else{ ?><?php wp_title(''); } ?></title>

    Please keep in mind that Google itself does this quite often. I support several websites that have “- Sitename” in titles which do not appear in my title tags. (Both wordpress and non-wordpress sites.) It is very probable that this the cause of your issue!

    As it’s Google’s thing, I don’t think this is a problem as such. They actually feel this is a better title and description for your site. I believe Joost goes into this somewhere as well: this should not be bad for SEO, and is actually quite often recommended. (As, again, Google ‘fixes’ this if you omit it anyway.)

    About title tags being different from your settings in the actual live SERP in general, Joost writes this: https://yoast.com/google-page-title/

    So what have we to do now?
