Hi Hannah,
Where would you enter the said code? Does this go into my child themes functions.php
or into the WooCmmerce plugin folder?
Thanks

Bingo!

Just saw that the the fallback suggestions were updated with the header.php rewrite.
Works perfectly with my child theme.

Thanks silentrocco for the heads up on the header.php rewrite and amboutwe etal at Yoast for updating the fallback suggestions.

Hi silentrocco,

What is the theme header.php rewrite trick?
I’d like to give that a try.

Sorry I missed the reply somehow.

Thanks for the link. It looks like it is something with my child theme.
I turned all the plugins off except Yoast and under the child the problem persisted. I switched the Parent Theme and all was fixed…

Don’t know what is going on with the child theme…

So I’ve tried a few things and found a workaround by removing the the Site Title in the WordPress dashboard’s general settings.

I lied… that doesn’t work… :-\

So I’ve tried a few things and found a workaround by removing the the Site Title in the WordPress dashboard’s general settings.

It seems that SEO isn’t able to completely take over from the the WP General settings so that SEO and the WP end up adding into the rendered Title…. When I remove the Site Title in the WordPress General Settings then, the titles display correctly.

Before finding this work around I had also tried toggling SEO on and off.
Removing
%%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%
completely from the Pages and Post Title Templates so the settings were blank.

Purged the cache in between changes..etc

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response!
The Theme is up to date (Last Update 18 April 16), supports WP 4.5 and includes the add_theme_support( 'title-tag' ); in the themes functions.php

It had been working correctly, but I just noticed the issue when running a site audit for a future update. The titles had been displaying correctly a few months back.

I have purged all servers cache and updated the permalinks several limes( as I was adjusting the the sites structure after reading Yoast’s Optimize Your WordPress site). ??

Any other thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
