* As the theme adds theme support for “title-tag” it should use wp_title() in header.
php
* If you don’t disable wp_title() you will get double html title tags!

* Since the theme registers support for the title tag: [https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/yoko/1.2.1/functions.php#L99](https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/yoko/1.2.1/functions.php#L99)–
it signals to WordPress that WordPress should add the title tag.
* Unfortunately, the theme also manually adds the title tag: [https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/yoko/1.2.1/header.php#L11](https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/yoko/1.2.1/header.php#L11)–
this causes the duplication in the title tag as Sören reported.
* The fix is to remove one of those two lines (preferably the manual title tag
in header.php). Alternatively, if you really don’t want to edit the theme you
can use this fix (untested!)
* ```
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function(){
remove_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
}, 20 );
```
* (use that in a child theme, or a plug-in).
