Hello,
Just for the sake of contributing in case someone else has this problem. I was having a similar issue and my titles where generated as My article titleMy Blog – Blog description.
The issue as it turns out was that my theme is developed WP Framework which uses its own function to generate titles, semantic_title(). Changing the title to call the wp_title() function took care of the problem.
By the way, thanks for a great plugin. I discovered it not long ago and was very pleased that it replaces about 6 plugins I was using! A great feature would be to incorporate SEO Friendly Images and Custom Permalinks functionality.
I’m actually using a translated French version I found over at http://www.blog-expert.fr/plugins-wp/wordpress-seo-francais-661.html. They even wrote French documentation. These guys deserve a big heads up 🙂
So how do we fix this? I am also having this issue and I am not sure what needs to be removed from the header.php
can you be more specific?
Thanks
You go to header.php in your current theme
Then you need to delete the following:
<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
That fixed it for me.
I was having the delimiter in front of the title bug. Not sure who the culprit is, but I did this hack to fix it:
<?php echo ltrim(wp_title("|", false), "|"); ?>
The second parameter of wp_title, tells WP to return the string instead of echoing it.
The ltrim function trims the delimiter off the front of the string.
You can tweak this to use different delimiters or right hand delimiters, etc.
Hope this helps some people.
