# Changing header/html Title

 * I’m not really sure the right term for this if it is the header title or html
   title. I am talking about the title of the page you can see right besides the
   logo of firefox. I am wondering how to change this so that it will not include
   the domain name.
 * Currently some of my pages are showing like Title|domain name. I just want it
   to only have the title. Can anyone help me on how to do this? Is there a particular
   plugin that I should use?
 * Thanks,
    PJ

 * It’s the Title tag.
 * In WordPress you can go to “Settings”/”PermaLinks”/ and select the radio button
   that says “Custom Structure” then add this code there /%postname%/
 * That way you’ll have your post names in your URLs(good for SEO), and in the Title
   section of your browser.

 * Thanks FishDogFish. It is actually set it to that way. My only concern is how
   to get rid of the domain being added in the title tag.
 * It is showing (title tag|domain name). I just want the title tag to appear and
   without the domain name.
 * Thanks.

 * pjay714,
 * Most likely this code is located in your header.php file. Look for the title 
   tag:
 * `<title></title>`
 * And remove the reference to your website. Occasionally the code can be customized
   for the theme so if you would like to display this code here we can help a little
   more.

 * Hi doc4,
 * here it is.
 * <!–The Title–>
    <title><?php wp_title(”); ?><?php if(wp_title(”, false)) { echo‘::‘;}?
   ><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>
