Wrong Title in SERPs with AIO SEO Pack Plugin..How to Fix?

I've been recently having issues with the AIO SEO Pack plugin. For some of my sites the title that shows up in the SERPs does not match what I have written in the plugin for the home page title. The title will just show the keyword that that I searched for which is part of the title, but not the rest of the words.

When I check the source code of the page it does show the full title there, but not in the actual SERPs. This is happening to a few of my sites and it not happening to others. Using the same theme and plugin version on all the sites. I thought it might change over time, but it's now been 2+ months and it has not updated yet?

Any ideas what might be causing this? Anyone else seeing the same thing? I'd like to pinpoint a solution because I want keywords present in the title that are not showing up right now which I don't know is hurting my rankings or not since in the source it is there, just not on the physical page of the search results.

      do you have, webmaster tools? You could use it to fetch you site as google bot sees it, if it shows the title you want, I'd suggest contacting google as it could be a problem at their end.

      Otherwise you could always write the titles manually with <title>Title of the document</title>

    Sometimes no matter what you do, Google will use a different title than the one you indicate as it believes it to be more accurate and concurrent to the page in question.

      Ya I'm feeling that might be the case here. But what is weird is this one other site of mine all of sudden started doing this yesterday as well. Two years now it was showing the title as "KW1 - KW2 - KW3" and now when I do a search for my main keyword which is also a EMD the title just comes up as "KW1" which is the keyword I track my rankings for the homepage.

      It's frustating because I want to have other related keywords there, but it won't show up in the title. It can make a big difference on number of clicks you get on your site, etc.
