duplicate title tags
-
Hi, I have contacted BLUEHOST Builder support on this, they determined i have duplicate or the same page titles across my entire site because of a them issue, below is there suggestion. Can you look into it or how do i get it fixed? my entire site shows this for the page tiltes no matter what is in yoast or the page title seo in blue host builder
<title>
Clean Working Space LLC Junk And Trash Removal Easton Pa
</title>
ISSUE SUMMARY
The Bluehost Website Builder theme (wb4wp) is outputting a hardcoded <title> tag in the page <head> that conflicts with Yoast SEO’s page-specific title output. This results in two <title> tags appearing in the HTML source on every page of the site.

EVIDENCE — PAGE SOURCE ([ redundant link deleted ])
Tag 1 — Output by the wb4wp theme (hardcoded, sitewide):
<title>
Clean Working Space LLC Junk And Trash Removal Easton Pa
</title>
Tag 2 — Output by Yoast SEO (correct, page-specific):
<title>Bethlehem Township PA – Clean Working Space LLC Junk And Trash Removal Easton Pa</title>
Yoast SEO is functioning correctly and outputting the proper page-specific title. The problem is that the wb4wp theme is injecting its own <title> tag before Yoast fires, resulting in a duplicate.

IMPACT
Google and other search engines typically use the first <title> tag they encounter. Because the wb4wp tag appears first, Google is indexing the generic sitewide title instead of the page-specific Yoast titles we have configured. This is actively harming our SEO — unique page titles are a core on-page ranking signal.

ROOT CAUSE
The wb4wp theme is not properly implementing WordPress’s native title-tag support. Per WordPress standards (since WP 4.1), themes should declare add_theme_support(‘title-tag’) in functions.php and remove all static <title> output from theme template files. This hands title control entirely to plugins like Yoast SEO. The wb4wp theme appears to be outputting its own hardcoded <title> tag rather than deferring to this standard.
