Hey guys,

In response to this thread: https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/post-title-site-name-on-google/

“Hi,

I have been using Yoast SEO for a while and one can choose all kind of settings there. One of them is how to show the post title on Google. I have %%title%% as template, but today I noticed that Google also shows my site name, so using %%title%% %%sitename%% template instead.

I have been looking for answers at Yoast support forums and they seem to say that if the chosen setting is not respected, it has to do with the theme’s compatibility with WP. Here is the article: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/the-seo-title-output-for-the-plugin-doesnt-work-as-expected/

I’ve tried to add this code into my child-theme’s functions.php , but my site went down so I deleted it again.

add_theme_support( ‘title-tag’ );

Another suggestion they give is to edit header.php file with this code: <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>
But that would be overwritten by updates to the theme…

Are you guys familiar with this issue and do you have an easy fix for it?

Thanks a lot. Best regards, Jurga

Hey Jurga,

Please add the code below in your functions.php

remove_filter( ‘wp_title’, ‘x_wp_title’, 99 );

After that, clear all caches and check if the issue persists. Please take note that search results might take some time to update.

Thanks.”

However, unfortunately the code provided “remove_filter( ‘wp_title’, ‘x_wp_title’, 99 );” does not work. Are there any other solutions?

I am in the same situation as the original poster.

I’m thinking this may be a solution.

“Search your theme’s files for the title element. This is typically found in the header.php file. Change the title element to just this:

<title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>”

But I don’t know where to make the change?

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Use this template instead %%title%% %%page%%

Hope it helps, Cheers!

I am already using this….

[Razorsharp_Participant]

Can you tell me where to locate title element as mentioned earlier?

[Paul RModerator]

Hi,

The code is already added in the theme.

You can check in x/framework/views/global/_meta.php

Thanks
