Help.. Small Tech Issue in WordPress!

by npaige

Hi all,

I just noticed the site I am building - Mountain River Stream |
Has a line after the name in the toolbar and in the sentence above!
So it also bookmarks this way - with a line after the name - Mountain River Stream.
Why is that there?
How can I get rid of it?

Thanks,
Dr. Nicki

    That line is not showing up when I open it in Firefox. It looks fine.

      You don't see a line when you go to the url?
      In the toolbar - Favicon, Mountain River Stream, line.............. no?

      Not on the actual website - on the toolbar.. after favicon, name, then there is a line. If you bookmark it, it bookmarks with a line...

    Open your header.php file.

    Replace title tag with this code instead:

    PHP Code:
    <title><?php if (is_home() || is_front_page()) { echo bloginfo('name'); } else { echo wp_title(''); } ?></title>
    Furthermore, Do you have any SEO plugin install? If so, it's from the SEO plugin to give the title structure like this:

    Site Name | Post/Page Title

    So, check out with your SEO plugin!

    The OP is talking about the | in the title. I think it is a plugin doing it - do you have some SEO plugin that edits the titles? I'd start there. When viewing the source, you can see it:

    HTML Code:
    <title>Mountain River Stream | </title>
    It's called a "pipe" symbol.

    Most likely you could find the symbol in the header.php file OR in the plugin files for the SEO plugin.

      You found it! Pipe symbol.. it is.

      I can't find it.
      This is in the header.php file.
      <title><?php tj_custom_titles(); ?></title>
      Is this correct?

      I will look at the plugins.

      Thank you,

    Some WP templates. it keeps the blog title on all pages... When you create title for rest of the pages, it will use that line.. just like following site

    /www.sheensol.com/

      No! This site has no SEO plugin installed. It's from theme itself. There are 2 solutions:

      1st Choice - You didn't add the site "Tagline" in General Setting of your blog. So add Tagline, it'll have the description of the site after that "Pipe" symbol.

      2nd Choice - Under "Appearance" -> in "Freshlife Theme options" -> click on "SEO options" on the left -> scroll down to find this "If custom titles are disabled, choose autogeneration method" -> choose "BlogName only".

      It'll do trick! Let's see this help!

          It's from the theme setting itself not from the core Wordpress setting. I just give as many solutions as possible.

          hahaha.. same solution i gave :-)
