[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Issue With Duplicate Post Titles {Help}

ahh
Force rewrite

I get it
Sorted

I am having the same problem. Duplicate titles on every page. If I remove the Sitename and Site Description from the WP Settings page, it seems to generate the title correctly. But then, anywhere that pulls in the bloginfo(‘sitename’) variable appears empty.

I’ll be a little more detailed here…
Here is the site I am having issues with:
http://www.caribouhouse.com

i’ve replaced the title code with what yoast suggests. I’ve since changed it a bit with:

<?php if(is_home()) { echo bloginfo("name"); echo " | "; echo bloginfo("description"); } else { echo wp_title('|'); } ?>

I’m no PHP expert, but to my knowlege that just calls the site title and description on the home page and then leaves the rest to yoast.

The home page works fine, as do all of the other pages except for one page:
http://caribouhouse.com/the-only-location/

This is the only page that my client has rewritten the SEO title. The title appears fine, but it runs right into the site title. What am I doing wrong?

I have to believe that others are having these same issues? I have this plugin running on 4 or so WP installations, all of which have had this problem. I was about ready to can this plugin all together, but I have a couple clients that really like the title rewriting preview that shows you the google preview. I have to admit, that is a nice touch.

At anyrate, I’ve remedied the situation with the following code snippet:

$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
	if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
		echo " $site_description";
	wp_title('');

Removing the sites name and description is just not cool. this should solve it. give it a go.

I’m having this problem too.

@jwind Where exactly should I put that code?

I had the same problem. Fixed it by tossing this into my header.php file

<title>
<?php
	if ( is_home() )
	{
		echo "John Majewski - Blog";
	}
	else
	{
		wp_title('');
	}
?>
</title>
