• Hello,

    The title for all my pages appear twice on the search engines. I am running WordPress 3.4.1 and I do have Yoast WordPress SEO plugin installed. Does anyone know I need to change in my Title.php to prevent this from happening? Force rewrite titles has been turned off on the SEO plugin.

    what title? the meta title or the actual title?

    for meta title, check header.php of your theme for a section with <title> code

    It shows this…
    Home | JB Creative MediaJB Creative Media | Design Made Easy

    The JB Creative Media | Design Made Easy is the title and description tag,
    I think the Home | JB Creative Media is the title of the home page for the site. Any ideas?

    Title/Description tags are what I set in the General Settings for the site

    this is what the head section of your site in the browser shows:

    <!--SEO Title x 2 Fix-->
    <title>Home - JB Creative Media</title>
    
    	<link rel="image_src" href="https://jbcreativemedia.com/home/wp-content/themes/cloriato-litehome/wp-content/themes/cloriato-lite/logo.jpg" />
    
            <meta charset="UTF-8" />
            <title>Home - JB Creative Media</title>

    there is a double <title> although search engines usually only pick one…

    have you checked the code in header.php?
    possibly try to switch ‘Force rewrite titles’ on in the SEO plugin.

    btw: the google cache of your stie is from the 18th, i.e. 6 days old; have you made any changes to the seo since then?

    I have made some changes to the SEO, from a previous post, from someone who was having the same problem, I added some information into the <title> tag of the header.php. This might sound like a stupid question but how do I refresh the Google cache and how do I see how old my sites Google cache is? I appreciate all you help alchymyth

    how do I refresh the Google cache and how do I see how old my sites Google cache is?

    you could use google webmaster tools to start with;
    but it might be better to ask at a google forum…

    to see how your site is cached, when you view the search results, for instance click on the Cached below the main link.
