Problem Applying SEO Title Tag Plugin

    Hi,

    I uploaded and activated the SEO Title Tag plugin from
    Netconcepts. I'm using WP 2.3 . As per the instructions,
    I changed the title tag line in my header.php file. The meta
    title got optimized as I expected. However,
    now my header image on my blog has disappeared.

    Even when I try to unwind the changes and restore the
    original header.php file and deactivate & delete the
    plugin, my header image is still gone!

    I tried sending email to Steve, the support guy, but
    got no response.

    Here's the before and after mods to the header.php file for
    my theme:

    Before:

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

    After:

    <title><?php if (function_exists('seo_title_tag')) { seo_title_tag(); } else { bloginfo('name'); wp_title();} ?></title>

    I'm not a PHP expert. I've attached my original header.php file
    to this thread. Can anyone please advise me on what to do?

    Many Thanks

    George

    Are you certain nothing else changed in the header.php? Try getting a fresh header.php and overwrite the one you altered.

    Hi,

    Yes, as a matter of fact, I kept a seperate folder of the original theme
    files so they wouldn't be corrupted. I took the original unaltered
    header.php file from there and overwrote the other one.

    Now, if I go to Options / General Options, my altered header file
    is taken from the Blog Title & Tag Line data. That is what shows
    up on my site's header instead of the header image I had there.
    This must be some lingering side effect of the plugin.

    I just want to get back to my original site header so I can debug
    this problem one step at a time. It's doing the correct thing with
    the post titles, but it seriously mucked up my header image.

    Could Still Use Help!
