If you check the source of your page inside the <head></head> you can see that the plugin writes another bunch of title tags to your page. Somewhere over there must be the problem.
Also I see that this | only appears if you click on a tag.
Thanks! yes the solution must be in one of those files, any clue in which one?!

I was more thinking you should carefully check what the settings of the plugin exactly are and do. Usually you don’t need to edit files for these kind of things.
It looks like on the tag page with the | there is some text expected before the | . Something like that I expect to find in the plugin config.
In SEO the tags has %%term_description%% | %%sitename%%
while categories has %%term_title%% | %%sitename%%.
So why the “|” doesn’t show up is a mystery for me.
I guess there must be something wrong with the sitename though, since this has the “-” before. Still I can’t find it anywhere either in admin tools or other files.
Is see what you mean. I’ve searching for the site and came up with this page where in Google it has the | – problem.
This: ‘Kategorier | – Makeupedia’ literally does not exist in the page source of the page it is linking too. Maybe it’s just an old index on google? Did you fix this thing recently?
Hmmm sorry, I don’t exactly follow what you mean by it does not exist in the page source :S
A few days ago, I did renamed “Kategorier” from previous name “Nyheter”. And “Nyheter” are from the beginning the Uncategorized category.
But I had this |- problem long before that, since I installed the SEO-plugin.
The page “Kategorier” are some of a category archive page now (category-kategorier.php) were I insterted a unique dropdown-menu. There’s nothing written in its category description.
If you right-click in your browser in Firefox (in my case) you see something like ‘View page source’ which is very useful for debugging your site. If I then search for the line which shows in google: ‘Kategorier | – Makeupedia’ it does not exist in your page. What does not exist cannot be shown ( or indexed by google ) so that lead me to the conclusion that what google shows is either old or weird.
Oh yes totally forgot that!
But it must be something wrong with the SEO-plugin then. I will try check those files asap.
