I have a site name, but no tagline. It seems on the home page it’ll say “Site Name | ” instead of just saying “Site Name” in the title bar. I’m using Renew. How do I go about making it not have the “|” character when the tagline is blank?

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Then add the code below on your child theme’s functions.php file.

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_wp_title' ) ) :
  function x_wp_title( $title ) {

    if ( is_front_page() ) {
      return get_bloginfo( 'name' );
    } elseif ( is_feed() ) {
      return ' RSS Feed';
    } else {
      return trim( $title ); 
    }

  }
  add_filter( 'wp_title', 'x_wp_title' );
endif;

Hope it helps, Cheers!

I added the code to the child theme, but after refreshing the page a few times, it still has the | character 🙁

Title showing: “Florida AAML |”
Should be: “Florida AAML”

Hello There,

Thanks for the updates! Are you using Yoast SEO plugin or any SEO plugin? For the meantime, please try to update the code and use this instead:

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_wp_title' ) ) :
  function x_wp_title( $title ) {

    if ( is_front_page() ) {
      return get_bloginfo( 'name' );
    } elseif ( is_feed() ) {
      return ' RSS Feed';
    } else {
      return trim( $title ); 
    }

  }
  add_filter( 'wp_title', 'x_wp_title', 60 );
endif;

Hello There,

Since you have All in One SEO, you no longer need the custom we gave previously. Simply go to All in One SEO > Settings and set the title for your homepage.

Hope this helps.
