Incorrect SEO Title on home page

  • Hi all,

    hopefully you all can help me.

    I’m currently trying to set up a static page with a little blurb at the bottom that shows the latest 3 posts. I have gotten that working, but the Title for this page is now the title for the blog page…not good for the SEO.

    code is like so, for the page.php:

    [code moderated according to Forum Rules - please use the pastebin]

    The titles are generated by a plugin called 'WordPress SEO by Yoast'. The other pages are not affected, only the Home and the Blog page.

    The site can be viewed here: https://tinyurl.com/3gjrrrj

    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • The page titles are generated in the header.php file. You could use conditional tags to change the title if it’s the homepage or the blog.

    The issue with this is that the titles are generated through the plugin, and aren’t hard coded. I don’t want the client manually changing the header.php each time they want to change the title to the main page, just through the pages’ menu.

    are you sure you have looked into all options and settings of the plugin?

    if yes, and the plugin cannot do what you want, look for a different plugin.

    it seems that the title for the blog page is the title of the latest post.
    and no meta description, or keywords.
