Yes, I’ve saved, lol. And I tried the force rewrite, still just gives the blog post title. This is what I have in the header.php
<title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>
Just so we’re clear <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title> has two single apostrophes ”, *not* a single quotation-mark ” – double check that for me could you?
What you seem to have on the page at the moment is the output of the default wp_title function without Yoast’s plugin having any effect.
The only reasons I can think of for this is that either the plugin isn’t saving your inputs (%%title%% | %%sitename%%), or its not loading through the template properly…
What other plugins are you running?
Well, I copied and pasted what you suggested, and it does look correct, but I did it again with ” to be sure.
Running askimet, Facebook Like Box, Google Analytics, Image Widget, Include Javascript Widget, Jetpack, Redirection, SEO Slugs, Sexybookmarks, Sample Image Widget, Subscribe2, WordPress Importer, WordPress SEO
I’m at a complete loss I’m afraid – without seeing the code I’m not really sure what to say…
The only plugin I don’t recognise there is SEO slugs, so I suppose it could be that causing the conflict but I doubt it to be honest.
One last thing would be to try updating your most recent post (just edit the post and hit update without changing anything) and seeing of that flushes things. You can untick the force rewrite rules as well.
If this doesn’t do it, that’s the end of theories from me sadly 🙁
many thanks –
do you want me to paste the whole code?
Could you please give exactly what it says in the top six boxes under SEO >> Titles
Also can you post all of what is in /wp-content/themes/twentyten/header.php
(You can find it under Appearance >> Editor >> Header (header.php)
These should be the only places you need to edit, so there must be an error in there somewhere…
Sorry, busy couple of days. Here’s the code:
All are blank except for Post >> Title Template which has
%%title%% | %%sitename%%
Appearance >> Editor >> Header (may be more here than you need)
/**
* The Header for our theme.
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id=”main”>
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Ten
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>” />
<title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>
<link rel=”profile” href=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/11″ />
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘stylesheet_url’ ); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” />
<?php
/* We add some JavaScript to pages with the comment form
* to support sites with threaded comments (when in use).
*/
if ( is_singular() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) )
wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ );
/* Always have wp_head() just before the closing </head>
* tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
* generally use this hook to add elements to <head> such
* as styles, scripts, and meta tags.
*/
wp_head();
?>
</head>
Sigh. I can’t see a problem there…
Could you try something for me:
Under SEO >> Titles >> Page >> Title Template
Can you add this again:
%%title%% | %%sitename%%
Then we should be able to see if the problem is just affecting posts or everything.
The little window just has the title of the blog post, not post and title of the blog – does this negatively affect SEO?
