Hello all,
This is my first post with the support here at wordpress but I have been using it for a couple years. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to remove the Divider line in my blog title. I never had this problem with previous installs of wordpress but the last few all have this "|" line right before my blog title. And it's only on the homepage.
I use Fantastico to install wordpress so maybe this is the problem, but it never happened before and I can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can see the line I'm talking about here at http://chic-handbags.com.
look into header.php of your theme - the line with <title><?php ....?></title> and see if the divider is there.
or, if you use a seo plugin, check those settings.
Does platinum seo pack allow you to specify the home page title? The pipe character is being used to separate the page or post name from the blog name in the title tag. The plugin may also allow you to use a different character or a different title format but I can't say because I don't use that plugin. Suffice to say that it's probably being caused by the plugin though and can be resolved in the plugin's settings.

Check the settings in the Platinum SEO Pack plugin (which appears to be installed and modifying your page headers). That, or any other SEO plugins, may be looking to add some data (page-specific, keywords, etc) before your blog title (to the left of the | character). You should be able to control what's added there or customize the title to not make use of the auto-generated title (which should remove the "|").

I have checked the header and I don't think it's the theme because when I changed the theme to the default theme it still had the "|" line.
Here is the header line:
<?php wp_title(''); ?>
<?php if(wp_title('', false)) { echo ' :'; } ?>
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
</title>

Hmm I guess you are right. When I deactivated the Platinum SEO plugin the line goes away. I will just have to figure out how to change the settings in Platinum SEO because I already used the blog title in the plugin as well.

I am running a static page for the homepage and the line goes away when I just put the most recent posts on the homepage. Still can't figure out why the plugin is causing the line but I guess I will ask over at PLatinum SEO.
