Moving AIOSEO meta data under title tag?

hi, you shuld find string
add_action( ‘wp_head’, array( $aiosp, ‘wp_head’));
in “plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/all_in_one_seo_pack.php”
(1214 position)

and change it to

add_action( ‘wp_head’, array( $aiosp, ‘wp_head’), 1);

and the order will be:

<title></title>
<meta description />
<meta keywords />
<script></script>
<script></script>

It is strongly advisable not to edit the core files of the plugin. You don’t need to move the Meta Description to directly under the Title tag, that won’t have any effect on your ranking. Cleaning up your HEAD is a very good idea though.

I had my site redone in WordPress and long story but I no longer trust the guy. I have a similar issue with the title from AIOSEO being added to the title tags of the other pages. Can you tell me how to fix this please as I have coded some in the past but not in WP. The site is https://www.advanced-ir.com.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,

Can you provide an example of a post or page where the Title tag does not match what you entered in the Title field in All in One SEO Pack.

I tried to paste a screen shot put it did not take it and I do not see an option to upload a file. I will try and explain.
On the All in One page the Home Title is (abc).
On other pages, not home page, the title is (xyz).
When viewed on the snippet the title is (xyz)+(abc).
How do I keep the Home Title from the All in One page from showing up in the other pages.
Hope this is somewhat clear.

HI Jeff,

You control this under All in One SEO, General Settings, Title Settings in the various Title Format fields – https://semperplugins.com/documentation/title-settings/. The default is always set to %page_title% | %blog_title% because that’s what it optimal for SEO. If you remove the | %blog_title then your site title will not be displayed in the Title tag.

I am not good at explaining but will try it again and I do understand I need a title and want a title on each page. But somehow the title from the SEO all in one is being added to each page. I want a different title for each page, not the same one on the SEO page.

Hi Jeff,

You can set the Title tag for each page by editing that page and scrolling down to the All in One SEO Pack box and entering your title in the Title field – https://semperplugins.com/documentation/page-settings/#title

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Thanks but it looks good where you enter the title put the snippet that google displays is different. It seems there is a bug somewhere.
I will have to find somewhere that I can post an image since I am not getting my point across.
Thanks again

Hi Jeff,

You cannot force Google to display the title and description that you provide and it could be weeks before they see your new titles and update their index.

I understand that it takes time. It has been weeks.
I will try and show you what I have.

The page is https://www.advanced-ir.com/electrical.html

In WordPress under that page and below all in one SEO Pack and in the title space is this:
Advanced Infrared, LLC : Electrical System Infrared Thermography Scans

Under the SEO main settings the page title is:
Advanced Infrared, LLC : Thermal Imaging Service – Thermography

The html code as you can see on the web is:
<meta charset=”UTF-8″ />
<title>Advanced Infrared, LLC : Electrical System Infrared Thermography Scans | Advanced Infrared, LLC : Thermal Infrared Imaging Service – Thermography</title>

Should not the title be:
Advanced Infrared, LLC : Electrical System Infrared Thermography Scans

I believe it should be.

If you set the title for that page as “Advanced Infrared, LLC : Electrical System Infrared Thermography Scans” and the Site Title under Settings, General is “Advanced Infrared, LLC : Thermal Imaging Service – Thermography” then the Title tag will show up in teh source code as this:

<title>Advanced Infrared, LLC : Electrical System Infrared Thermography Scans | Advanced Infrared, LLC : Thermal Imaging Service – Thermography</title>

Again, your Site Title is not something you set in All in One SEO Pack, it is a WordPress setting found under Settings, General.

What shows up on Google may not be “Advanced Infrared, LLC : Electrical System Infrared Thermography Scans | Advanced Infrared, LLC : Thermal Imaging Service – Thermography” it may be something else. You cannot make Google display the title you provided.

Thanks. I guess I just don’t like the way it works.
Maybe I can come up with a better titles.

Hi Jeff,

It’s designed this way because this is optimal for search engines. But you have freedom to change the format of any title by going to All in One SEO, General Settings, Title Settings.
