Hi guys,

Can someone point me in the right direction? 🙂

When searching for my site in google, the result shows like this;
Comments on
http://www.lchfmalta.com/

I dont understand where the ‘comments on’ title comes from.
Can anyone help? I’d like to change it to something more appropriate.

Thanks,
Richard

You have an empty <title>. WordPress is probably grabbing some title somewhere. You should add a title.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the help.
Which page do I edit to add the title?

Look into header.php

I’m a complete noob at this!

Current header code;
<head>
<meta charset=”<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />

If I insert this in the header, will it work?

” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘LCHFMalta’); ?>”><?php bloginfo(‘LCHFMalta’); ?>

Within the <title> and </title> tags, insert blog info as defined in Codex;
E.g
```
<title> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> </title>
```

Ok, but there is not title tag presently in the header.php file.
Should I just insert it?

Would this work?

<head>
<meta charset=”<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>”/>
<title> <?php bloginfo(‘LCHFMalta’); ?> </title>

Use <title><?php wp_title(':');?></title>

Hi Esmi,

Should I place the code inbetween the header and body tags?

No – it has to be in the <head></head> section.

Strange, the blog title still has not changed.

It still shows in google search with the text ‘Comments on’.

Any idea how long it takes on average for google to update their indexs?
