 * Hello:
    I am fairly new to coding/websites. Recently I noted an issue with my
   blog Mindful Shopper, [http://mindful-shopper.com/](http://mindful-shopper.com/).
 * The page titles are wrong. May have changed after updating some plug-ins. Page
   titles say About”>About instead of About. When I hover over the page title it
   says <span class= instead of About.
 * How do I find the code for this in wordpress? How do I change it?
 * Thank you,
    Amy Kelsch

 * you are not alone –
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-titletitle-problem-with-wp3-1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-titletitle-problem-with-wp3-1)
 * in this case it seems to have been a conflict with a seo plugin:

 * or – totally untested – try to edit header.php;
    find:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'link_before' => '<span class="item-left"></span><span class="icon">' , 'link_after' => '</span><span class="item-right"></span>' ) ); ?>
       ```
   
 * change to:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'link_before' => "<span class='item-left'></span><span class='icon'>" , 'link_after' => "</span><span class='item-right'></span>" ) ); ?>
       ```

 * Thank you so much for the info!!!!! Due to your helpful info I was able to fix
   the problem. It was related to my SEO plug-in that I had recently updated.
 * Much appreciated!
