Page Title out of control – help!

    I have an old html site I am converting to WordPress. (new to WP).

    The old site’s main page is “default” and to not lose web ranking I need to keep page names the same for now.

    Problem
    If I create a WP default page it insists displaying that in big glaring letters. If I change the page title to something better, it changes the actual file name.

    Also:

    At some point the default page’s title (viewed in code) becomes the Site Title! Ans all other pages title is the page name | site title.

    How can I control the title and name of the pages under these circumstances?

    I wish there was an edit function on these posts sorry.

    One clue I found led me to install a new theme (Graphene). This allowed me to over ride the title problem.

    Seems like there should be a more universal fix for this that works for most themes and does not involve coding.
