 * Hi webmasters!, I’m trying to remove the line that I have highlighted below. 
   I know is not recommended for me to remove it straight from the parent theme.
   So I made a child theme, and I was wondering whether anyone could help to disable
   this particular line through my child theme by adding some codes you know.
    Thanks.
   Your fellow amateur user… :S

       function iexcel_wp_title( $title, $sep ) {
       	global $paged, $page;
   
       	if ( is_feed() )
       		return $title;
   
       	// Add the site name.
       	$title .= get_bloginfo( 'name' );
   
       	// Add the site description for the home/front page.
       	$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
       	if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
       		$title = "$title $sep $site_description";
   
       	// Add a page number if necessary.
       	if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
       		$title = "$title $sep " . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'i-excel' ), max( $paged, $page ) );
   
       	return $title;
       }
       ```

 * Where in the parent theme is that `function iexcel_wp_title( $title, $sep )` 
   being called? Also which theme is that from?

 * My apologies, I just wanted to remove this line:
 *     ```
       // Add the site name.
       $title .= get_bloginfo( 'name' );
       ```
   
 * in the code above.

 * No no, I mean how is that function called? If it is in an `add_action()` or `
   add_filter()` then it may be an easy thing to remove.
 * Do you mean this theme?

 * I’ve just checked it is add_filter()
 * Yes, that’s the theme I’m using.
