Dashboard Title Addition

This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/
It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

Ok, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to go through all that work for something this small. It’s technically not affecting anything on the backend, it’s just odd that it’s there. I was seeing if anyone has had a similar issue and knew a quick fix.

If you’re using any SEO plugin then re-save all the settings from that plugin, it might solve the issue.

Thank you for responding with an idea. Unfortunately that didn’t resolve it. I even tried logging out and back in afterwards but its still there. ??

Ok I think I fixed it. For some reason my adminheader file has this line of code in it

$admin_title = sprintf( __( '%1$s ‹ %2$s — WordPress' ), $title, $admin_title );

I changed it to this and it removed the &lsaquo from the Title

$admin_title = sprintf( __( '%1$s — WordPress' ), $title, $admin_title );

Glad you got it sorted ??
