Browser Tab Titles (7 posts)

    Hi - I am having trouble figuring out how to remove the - (dash) after my tab title on the browser tab. I have read through the other forums around this topic, and none of those suggestions worked. I have a title in my Admin/Settings section (no tagline though). I have a custom header image used as my header. And, I can't seem to locate the header.php file to see if there is a #(dash) code in there. I have a wp-blog-header.php file, but nothing in there...

    It appears correctly in the URL - just not the browser tab.

    I am an amateur so need directions in very simplistic form, if possible. Would appreciate any help!

    header.php is in your theme. You can see it from your admin panel

    appearance->editor

    Thanks, Voodoo... I looked in there and don't see anything that pertains to a dash in the browser tab... Any thoughts?

    what is there? specifically in the <title></title> area? That is what controls the output

    It may reference a function, which is in your functions.php file

    Also, many SEO type plugins can add stuff to the browser bar, so if you have one of those, look in the settings

    Hi

    I really appreciate your help. I am a complete novice but learning each day thanks to so many generous teachers!

    I didn't see a <title> anywhere... I pasted the CSS file on pastebin here:

    I didn't see anything in functions.php either.

    I only have 2 plugins - Askimet and WordPress Importer

    not sure why you pasted the css file here?

    on my second post I mentioned you wanted to look in your header file, header.php

    go to appearance->editor, and select header.php from the list on the right

    Sorry, I was confused. I don't have header.php on the right. I don't have it anywhere... When I pull up my site in Filezilla too, I don't have header.php anywhere either. The only file with header in it is wp-blog-header.php and that has nothing in on on titles.

    It is a great mystery!
