Cannot remove space before separator in title tag

    I’m trying to obtain this as a page title, using Yoast’s snippet variables:
    Page title: Site title

    But what I’m getting is:
    Page title : Site title

    I’ve tried deleting the space between snippet variables in the admin but Yoast automatically inserts it back in after save. I’ve pored through WP files looking for the space in PHP but cannot find it.

    Anyone else seen this?

    I looked through PHP docs for $sep instead of wp_title — and found where a space is being inserted. But oddly, it didn’t remove it on the front end.

    Here are the WP docs I modified:

    /wp-includes/general-template.php
    I removed the space from this line: ” $sep”, in several locations

    /wp-includes/formatting.php
    I removed the space from this line: $sep = ‘ ‘, in one location

    Perhaps this is being controlled by Yoast and not WP? Any ideas?
