Issue with home page Title

    Please note that I’m using WordPress v 3.7.3 which isn’t in the choices.

    After updating my SEO pack to 2.2.1, I noticed that changes to the Home Page Title are not observed by browsers.

    The SEO Title field contains:
    OakleyIT: PC and laptop Maintenance, Repairs, and Training

    But browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox) see this old entry:
    oakleyit.co.uk Fast, afforable and reliable IT support for homes and small businesses.

    As suggested in other forum posts, I’ve deactivated, deleted then reinstalled the plugin but it has made no difference.

    Can anyone please guide me on what to do next?

    Thanks in advance,

    J

    Hi Jan,

    This could be an issue with your theme. Try changing the following settings and see if any combination fixes the issue:

    All in One SEO, General Settings, Use Original Title (http://semperplugins.com/documentation/general-settings/#useoriginaltitle)
    All in One SEO, Performance, Force Rewrites (http://semperplugins.com/documentation/performance-settings/#forcerewrites)

    Also, make sure that Rewrite Titles is enabled under All in One SEO, General Settings, Title Settings (http://semperplugins.com/documentation/title-settings/#rewritetitles)

    Finally – after months and months – it is fixed!!

    Thanks wpsmort, it was none of the things you suggested BUT you opened my eyes to a raft of options which I’d never even seen before.

    To briefly explain, I’ve always tweaked SEO Titles, Descriptions and Keywords from the WP’s Pages list – it’s all there! So, I felt stupid going into SEO, General Settings and seeing it stored incorrectly there. I changed it in that place and BOOM – it all worked perfectly (no need for those other settings thanks – but I now know they’re there and what they do).

    So, the only remaining question mark for the AIO SEO developers regards why the Home Page Title in SEO > General Settings didn’t reflect the entry in WP’s main Pages list.

    It doesn’t matter to me – I’m very happy because it works.

    Thanks again wpsmort 🙂

    Hi Jan,

    I am very glad everything works.

    The homepage title and description has always been treated differently because WordPress allows you to have either a static page or a dynamically generated page which shows the latest posts. This means that there doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone has a page called Home where they can set the title and description so we have let you control these settings under All in One SEO, General Settings. Here you’ll find a section for Homepage Settings where you control the title, description and keywords.
