    Hi,

    I just installed Joomla in my local machine. In the installation,
    I gave it the name "Joomla Test".

    Now when I check my home page, the title tag is as below,

    <title>Joomla Test - Home</title>

    How can I change this to,

    <title>My Site Name</title>

    I even don't need the 'Home' part.

    I amusing the default template, that is " rhuk_solarflare_ii",

    I couldn't find a place to change this, when I check the "Edit HTML"
    option of this template, I found below code snippet,

    <?php mosShowHead(); ?>

    Is this the one generates the title? Can I introduce an "if condition"
    here and have a completely different title for home page?

    Thanks.

    To change the site name go to backend as admin

    Global configuration --> Site ; change the Site Name

    About the text part after the site name, it will change base what you write the title in the content

    Hi,

    I was able to change the site name.

    Thanks a lot!

    But still that 'Home' part appears. Where can I find the content for the Home page?

    I couldn't find a content page with the title 'Home'. Is it possible to remove this
    'Home' part making the title empty? Is it possible to exclude the site name from
    titles of all pages except the home page?

    Hi, I just came across to this site and your post, it may be of help, what you have to do is, just go to site administration panel, follow the step menus>menu manager> menu items> select your FrontPage template as you made default> click on edit button> change the menu title as you like best, it will appear on your site homepage, as because there is a code $ templateparams will fetch menu title and will show on front page. There is no way to keep the menu title null as because, assign value to this field is mandatory. This is only for, if you just want to modify the menu button or page heading name.

    Now going back to your requirement: at this stage, from right hand side column option panel, select: Page Display Options> Show Page Heading> select radio button No and click on save button, thats it. Job is done. Now browse the homepage and see the different. Enjoy!!!
