html title tag acting very weird

  • hi,

    i am seeing some really weird behavior. i am trying to edit the html title tag in my header.php file. no matter what i change it to, including simple static text, the title tag ends up containing the default wordpress calculated text (depending on page type, category + blog title or post title + blog title). if i completely remove the title tag, then nothing is generated, and the browser defaults it. but as soon as i put any title tag, including an empty one, wordpress generates its own title and puts it there.

    <title>this is a test</title>
    results in
    <title>CD Rates (Bank CD Rates), Online Savings Account | MonitorBankRates.com</title>

    am i missing something obvious, or is this some really bizarre behavior?

    thanks for any help!

    Duh!!!!

    the all-in-one-seo plugin is in use, and it was the culprit. it was set to format titles as such, so i just changed the formatting in the plugin settings.

    sorry for wasting time!

    It’s not a waste of time if you identify, solve the problem and post the solution here. Some people could just have your very same problem. ??
