    I looked in header file in my theme and i only saw one??? checkout the code from my header file:

    <?php
/**
 * The Header for our theme.
 *
 * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Starkers
 * @since Starkers 3.0
 */
?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />

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

<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
<?php
	/* We add some JavaScript to pages with the comment form
	 * to support sites with threaded comments (when in use).
	 */
	if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
		wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );

	/* Always have wp_head() just before the closing </head>
	 * tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
	 * generally use this hook to add elements to <head> such
	 * as styles, scripts, and meta tags.
	 */
	wp_head();
?>
</head>

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>

    OK

    Then I assume you have all in one SEO or something similar installed.

    And you / it adds the titles in addition to std wp.

    You will notice the 2 titles are not identical; the seond misses a |

    So it got entered manually somewhere; or whatever adds it strips the |; but the first funciton that adds the title; does not replace the |.

    I have the "Yoast, SEO WordPress" installed for my wordpress site, and "Ultimate SEO titles" installed for my phpbb forum, (because i have a phpbb/wordpress integration..) Do you think they are somehow trying to accomplish the same thing together and duplicating titles? I'm a bit lost on this...

    YES

    Investigate both these plugin options in admin; decide on ONE to use; and deactivate the other.

    You have to decide based on your needs and how well you understand their functions.

    Once you are a SEO expert THEN you can install more that one seo plugin ; because you will undertand when they step on each other's toes.

    Problem Fixed! I went into the Yoast SEO plugin and chose "Force rewrite titles" and then set the titles up accordingly. Pretty easy fix. So glad I don't have to go into some core files and do some tweeking.. thanks for the guidance!
