If you are using yoast – I think it should be possible to Change the Title inside the Yoast-Settings of the homepage. Just scroll to the bottom there and see if changing the text there will fix your problem.
greets
Can you clarify how to get to the page you’re talking about?
Hey π
just Go to Header.php file in your theme’s folder and find the below code,
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php is_front_page() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(); ?></title>
and remove
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php is_front_page() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(); ?>
from
<title> </title>
and add whatever you want to show it on your tab between <title> </title>
,
I suggest you to just change only
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
because this function calls site name and other two will call for current front page and description.
hope this will work βΊ
I tried adding
<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
and both
Hot & Sour
and
Hot and Sour
in between with no success
Replace this <?php bloginfo(βnameβ); ?> with Hot & Sour.
Use Yoast SEO rather than following Naveen’s advice. It will provide you with a lot more flexibility.
Naveen, I did try that and it didn’t seem to work.
Steve, what do you mean by use Yoast SEO? I can’t find a place on my plugin where I can edit the title.
set the defaults for titles on http://www.hotandsourblog.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles and override for individual pages/posts by editing the page/post and editing the snippet in the Yoast SEO section

When I try to use the link, it leads me to my dashboard. My SEO dropdown only includes: Search Appearance, Search Console, Social, Tools, and Premium.
It’s the “search appearance” link, on the “general” tab.
I changed it to Hot & Sour, and it shows up as Hot and Sour on my tab. Is this because characters are not allowed?
You’d have to escape that, so use ampersand amp semicolon to get &. HTML is weird.
I can’t paste that in correctly here. I’ll have to use an image.

I tried it and it didn’t work, but I’m not too concerned about that. Will it also show up as Hot and Sour in Google searches? It hasn’t yet, but I’m not sure it if will need time to update.
Is there a difference between the “home page” and the main site page?
Thanks for your help!
