    Dear, Sybre

    As many before we struggle with duplicate titles, and I have tried the solutions you have offered to others, with no luck.

    The standard page title (title + sitename) are showing in the browser/google, and in the source code the overridden title is visible.

    I have tried the title fix extenstion, and still nothing.
    Also used this parameters in functions.php

    add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_force_title_fix', '__return_true' );
add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );

    I am using the Marketing theme, but the support there are not finding any solutions.
    The <title> </title> line are missing in header.php.

    Do you think you can advice on how to find a solution? Switched from yoast to SEO Framework (about time yes), after your good review on wpmudev. If yes, what kind of information do you need?

    Hi @tonyhnor,

    Edit: I couldn’t find the Marketing theme, could you contact me here, so I can look into the details?

    Cheers 🙂

    For reference, in most cases, this would be the solution:

    1. Make a backup of your theme files before continuing.
    2. Do not use Title Fix, it has no effect for you because you use title-tag theme support.
    3. Remove the filter, because you will no longer need Title Fix.
    4. Keep this snippet in functions.php: add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
    5. Go to header.php, and remove the <title>...</title> code.
    6. Upload new theme files.

    That’s it!

    Note that the <title>...</title> code might span across multiple lines.

    Sybre, I removed the title fix and kept add_theme_support and after using the quick edit function and implemented the meta data it suddenly worked.

    Thank you so much for answering.

    Keep up the good work. No more yoast is the new slogan 🙂
