Blog Title not appearing in browser bar

  • Hello,

    My blog titles do not appear in the browser bar. Instead, the site name and description are displayed. Here is the header file:

    <?php
    /**
    * The Header template for our theme
    *
    * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id=”main”>

    * @subpackage Twenty_Thirteen
    * @since Twenty Thirteen 1.0

    Instead of this code try using wp_title() function.

    Sorry for incomplete post.

    I tried replacing the <title> tag with many options, but they did not work.

    @jacenty3590, that worked for the posts.

    However, the homepage now shows that static page title instead of the site title. How can I get it to show the site title?

    @soasmw
    You can use both bloginfo() and wp_title() functions at one time:
    <title><?php wp_title(' | ', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

    That did not work, then I tried this:

    <title>

    <?php if (is_home ()) { bloginfo(‘name’); ?> | <?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?> }
    else
    { <?php wp_title(‘ | ‘, true, ‘right’); ?> }

    </title>

    But there is some syntax error.

    P.S: I am a beginner in coding.

    Try this code (taken from Twenty Eleven WordPress theme). Should work fine.

    <title><?php
wp_title('|', true, 'right');

bloginfo('name');

$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
	if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
		echo " | $site_description";
?></title>

    Now I have both the site title as well as the page title displaying. Perhaps because I am using wp_title() and bloginfo() together. Any improvements to this code?
