 * I want to page title to show only the page name and not page name with page site,
   the title on the tab can stay page title with site name.
    for the example the
   page title need do be “About” and NOT “About – my site name” the tab title can
   be “About – my site name”
 * It was like before and I think your update broke it.

 * [@mstudioil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) Plugin allows you
   to set templates for the titles and meta descriptions too. You can do so in the
   SEO >> Titles and Metas >> Post Types => Pages. Here, you would need to remove`%%
   sitename%%` template variable. You can also take a look at this screencast: [https://youtu.be/QMvGFuCNtR8](https://youtu.be/QMvGFuCNtR8)

 * What do you mean by _tab title_? The SEO title you define in Yoast SEO will be
   ouput in the source code of you page within the _<title></title>_ tag. This title
   tag will be shown in your browser ([see screenshot](http://www.evernote.com/shard/s198/sh/42294359-4ad2-4bc7-95e1-a24126a0cd8a/7c0e274ec757235cb6998e5329148053))
   and is expected to be used by search engines in the search results.
 * Please, refer to this post for more information about SEO titles: [https://yoast.com/page-titles-seo/](https://yoast.com/page-titles-seo/)

 * Tab title it is what you show on the screenshot.
    Page title it is the H1 tag
   on the page, I do not want this tag to be “site name – page title” I want it 
   to be “page title”

 * You can change the page title by editing the first text field at the top of the
   edit screen of the page ([see screenshot](http://www.evernote.com/shard/s198/sh/95be3d7b-f5cd-42bc-91fe-468f19b23128/b6aad784a4964077d74f47e833bd8219)).
   If your page shows an incorrect page title, you may want to [check for conflicts](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts),
   as the Yoast SEO plugin doesn’t have any influence on what’s shown as the page
   title (i.e. H1 tag).
