Changing header/html Title

  • I’m not really sure the right term for this if it is the header title or html title. I am talking about the title of the page you can see right besides the logo of firefox. I am wondering how to change this so that it will not include the domain name.

    Currently some of my pages are showing like Title|domain name. I just want it to only have the title. Can anyone help me on how to do this? Is there a particular plugin that I should use?

    Thanks,
    PJ

  • It’s the Title tag.

    In WordPress you can go to “Settings”/”PermaLinks”/ and select the radio button that says “Custom Structure” then add this code there /%postname%/

    That way you’ll have your post names in your URLs(good for SEO), and in the Title section of your browser.

    Thanks FishDogFish. It is actually set it to that way. My only concern is how to get rid of the domain being added in the title tag.

    It is showing (title tag|domain name). I just want the title tag to appear and without the domain name.

    Thanks.

    pjay714,

    Most likely this code is located in your header.php file. Look for the title tag:

    <title></title>

    And remove the reference to your website. Occasionally the code can be customized for the theme so if you would like to display this code here we can help a little more.

    Hi doc4,

    here it is.

    <!–The Title–>
    <title><?php wp_title(”); ?><?php if(wp_title(”, false)) { echo ‘ :: ‘; } ?><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>
