I know that with version 2.5, Wordpress allowed people to rearrange their title tags so that the blog post could be listed first, and then a separator, and then the blog's title listed last. Like so: Post title >> Blog title Instead of: Blog title >> Post title This helps with SEO. But, my question is: Is there a way, either through editing the header.php file, or a WP plugin, so that you could list the title tag of a single post to include the category name as well, such as: Post title >> Category title >> Blog Title I have a lot of posts already, and I don't really feel like going back with the SEO plugin and rewriting all of the titles manually to include the category name. But, I do like the idea of using more keywords in the category title, and having that automatically be included in the blog post's title would be good for SEO. Any suggestions?
I would recommend upgrading to wordpress 2.7.1! and then using the all- in-seo pack , and change the relevant setting (post/page title) to be : Post title >> Category title >> Blog Title as you want. If you need anyhelp just let me know. Kind Regards
I don't know why I hadn't tried all-in-one seo a long time ago. Its way better than the SEO title optimizer plugin. That's exactly what I needed. Thanks. (BTW, I do have latest version of WP, I was just saying that with the 2.5 release they allowed users to switch the post title and blog title positions in the title tag.)
one word of warning when using all in one seo pack, and that is for the home/front page, for the front page/home page all in one seo pack has a special option where you must go in and add the information, the info in the page/post is not used for the front page
First you want to pull out parent category names and then its subnames. Refer to this wordpress code. I believe it is exactly what you are looking for.
