Just an update on this issue.

New or the posts created after activating the Yoast SEO plugin are not facing this sitename issue. It’s only the posts that were created before Yoast SEO seem to have this problem.

Thanks a lot for the inputs, Pcosta88 and Md Mazedul Islam Khan. Quite a lot of the stuff detailed in your responses are a bit too technical for my liking. I can certainly follow those instructions but I am scared I could end up stranded if I goof up somewhere during the process.

I am, however, considering two things. Either hire a third party developer to get the issue rectified or manually type in the site name every time I post new content.

Let me know if manual insertion should be fine. Thanks!

Hello,

I shall do this but wouldn’t uninstalling and installing the theme affect the site’s design. I have added quite a bit of CSS to the theme.

Hello,

Any update on this?

Hello,

Yes, I am using the updated versions of Yoast SEO (v5.5.1) and WordPress (4.8.2).

Take a look at this link https://www.explainz.com/explanations/tech-web/web-hosting/ and also my site’s home page https://www.explainz.com/.

The title for the post page should actually be “Virtual Private Server Hosting | Explainz – Precise. Brief. Clear” and not just “Virtual Private Server Hosting”. The home page has got it right. It correctly displays “Home | Explainz – Precise. Brief. Clear”.

Similarly the pages on my site are displaying the site title correctly too. For instance, the About Us page’s site title is “About Us | Explainz – Precise. Brief. Clear”. It’s only the “post” pages that are experiencing trouble.

This is the title template for my posts “%%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%”. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to crop the image on Pasteboard. The entire web page is getting saved after multiple instances of trying.

Note: I am currently on the Shared Hatchling plan with Hostgator and I have made the upgrade to Cloud Hatchling, which is still in migration. A few days ago I received an update about the migration from Hostgator stating I must update my WordPress PHP 5.4 to 5.5 for the migration, which I did. Just letting you know in case that could be a cause.

Hello!

I am not sure if this is the right place to post my query, but I don’t know how to start a new thread here.

Anyway, I would like to decrease the font size of my footer contents, so that they come down to two lines and not three lines. I don’t want to fiddle with the “? Copyright, Explainz.com” text. By the way, this is my site: https://www.explainz.com/

Thanks!

I have a custom structure in place. Will that change your recommendations? Thanks!!

What option do I select or what changes should I make before hitting “save” so that I could edit the particular post’s permalink? Thanks!!

Yes, I trashed the post and also deleted it permanently from the Trash section.
