When I write posts in my blog the title of the post shows up in the following format: Name of the Blog >> Blog Archive >> Post Title for example If i had a blog about cooking the tile would look like this: The Cooking Blog >> Blog Archive >> How to Cook Tasty Chicken I'd like only the title of the actual Post to be shown as a title of the page So if I use the previously mentioned example the title would be 'How to Cook Tasty Chicken' How Can I do this?
I'm assuming that you are using wordpress all in one seo, you simply have to change the current structure to %postname% instead of %blogname%archives date%%postname%
you need to use an if statement within the title part in your header.php template. <title><?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?><? bloginfo('name'); ?> - <?php bloginfo('description'); } else { wp_title(''); } ?></title> Code (markup): You can add more if statements to controll all the other areas of your site (eg. archives). Note, if you are using WP 2.5 or less, you should use is_home instead of is_front_page. Play around with it. I'm sure you will be able to get it the way you want. I wrote a post about this last year entitled Customising the title bar in the head section of Wordpress. Tjat explains how you modify it to suit your needs.
Thanks a Lot guys, I'm not using wordpress all in one seo. However I did change the header.php file like System0 said, and now it's the way I want it to be. Thanks
I would suggest using Wordpress All-In-One SEO. Its a great mod, you can change titles with a click, and it really improves your site.
Well the reason why I didn't get All In One SEO is that I already have plugin that generates the meta tags for each posts automatically, and I fixed the permalinks using another plugin, now I fixed the title, is there still a reason to use All-In-One SEO
Well not really then. I just like AIO SEO because everything you need to change is on one page and there are a few more options for SEO.
