How to set custom title for front page only in wordpress

I want to set up a custom <title> for the front page only and leave other pages behaving as they are now.

Any idea how to do this??

Thanks!!

 

I think it'd be something like a php if/else statement. So if homepage, display custom title. else display post slug.
Sorry i dunno the code for ya .

If all else fails, you could always try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip . It allows you to set keywords and a specific title for the main page.

One of those two ways should achieve what your looking for.

 

It would help to know the title code. I'll assume it's the default code:

<title>
   <?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>TITLETEXT<?php } else bloginfo('name'); ?>
   <?php if (is_single()) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } wp_title(); ?>
</title>

Code (markup):

 

thanks!! You rock! Rep given!

 

install "ALL In one seo plugin" and use options tab for setting title, keywords, and description for blog homepage.

 

Cheers!

All In One SEO is an awesome plugin, with over half a million downloads, but it's a bit much for just changing the title. Still, I think they will even integrate it into Wordpress sometime in the future, or at least add some of it's features.

 

fantastic, i shall install all-in-one SEO optimization plug-in too.

cheers

 

u can also use the <?php if (is_home()); ?> statement
