WP Meta Tag Problem

Hello,

I have a problem with the title tag of my Wordpress blog.

Right now I have this in header.php -

Code:
<title><?php wp_title(""); ?>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<?php bloginfo("name"); ?></title>
This works well on posts. It displays as

Code:
Post name | WP Blog name
However, on the homepage, it displays as

Code:
| WP Blog name
I'm trying to get the homepage to get rid of the |. Any suggestions? Been trying to solve this for a while :confused:

    Hi,

    hmm... I would do it like

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    if (is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
     echo     get_bloginfo("name");
    } else {
      echo     wp_get_title("") . '&nbsp;|&nbsp;' . get_bloginfo("name");
    }
    ?>
    No guaranty that it works... but something like that.

      I think you must have enabled /disabled any seo plugins and settings of that plugins still not changed / or deleted.

      SO install any seo plugin again and then change your homepage title and description .
