    Question: I want to have the assigned child-category show up on the browser title for individual post pages, but don’t want to screw up the <title> tag messing around on my own.

    Currently, a post page’s browser title on my site looks like this: POST TITLE | Blog Title

    I Would Like it to look like this: Post Title >> Child Category >> Blog Title

    Any suggestions?

    I’m currently using Graph Paper Press’ Berlin theme, with a child-theme installed for changes.

    – check the code of the meta title in your theme (possibly in header.php?);
    – check whether your theme might be using a filter on ‘wp_title()’ to influence the meta title;
    – add your own filter function for ‘wp_title()’ to add the child-category name into the meta title;
    – probably make sure not to use a seo plugin (which often use their own filter);

    please contact the developer of your theme for help if you have problems with any of those steps.

    Thanks for the prompt information, Alchymyth.

    I’m not very skilled in coding, so while I understand what you’re suggesting I do, I don’t have the knowledge or expertise to execute the suggestions.

    This is what the <title> tag looks like right now:

    <title><?php
    /*
    * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
    */
    global $page, $paged, $theme_options;

    wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ );

    // Add the blog name.
    bloginfo( ‘name’ );

    // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
    $site_description = get_bloginfo( ‘description’, ‘display’ );
    if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
    echo ” | $site_description”;

    // Add a page number if necessary:
    if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
    echo ‘ | ‘ . sprintf( __( ‘Page %s’, ‘berlin’ ), max( $paged, $page ) );

    ?></title>
