 * Hi,
   How can I get my site’s title “- The Zag” to not be appended to the end of
   my post titles in Google search results?I followed the answer found here, [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-site-name-from-the-post-titles/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-site-name-from-the-post-titles/),
   to add this to my functions.php
 * `add_filter( 'document_title_parts', function( $title ) { unset( $title['site']);
   return $title; } );`
 * But “- The Zag” continues to appear. 
   Thanks

 * Hi [@chrisblahoot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisblahoot/) ,
 * When checking your website, I see the site title is no more appended to the title.
   So the snippet is working well.
 * I guess, Google hasn’t updated your site data on the SERPs. Let’s give it sometime.
   Or you can [ping Google to recrawl it](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/ask-google-to-recrawl).

 * Hi Tran,
   Thanks for checking. It’s been a few weeks since your response (and 
   over 1.5 months since I added the code to remove the meta title), I’ve resubmitted
   URLs through Search Console. Unfortunately, ” – The Zag” is still appearing in
   search results, especially on mobile, which is 80% of traffic.Example: [https://ibb.co/K6MD958](https://ibb.co/K6MD958)
   You think it’s still just a matter of time? Or what else might you suggest?Thanks!

 * Hi [@chrisblahoot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisblahoot/) ,
 * When checking your site with tools like [https://metatags.io/](https://metatags.io/)
   or directly in the browser, I see your title tag is correct.
 * The issue that Google doesn’t update titles is beyond my ability or the plugin’s.
   It totally depends on Google and we don’t have a way to push it.
