* What you’ve got there is wrong in two parts – the `
` tags and the `
` tag.
* But… this is assuming that this is the entire string, and not jsut part of it
that you’ve cut out as that wudl make a very big difference.
* This needs to start with `
` and end with `
`
* The `` tag should not be inside a `
` tag.
* I have never seen Yoast re-write anything like that, so just from that for me
I wouldn’t think that it’s Yoast that’s doing it.
* Do you have a link to a page so we can see that for ourselves?

* Also, you may want to consider updating your WP.
* The current version 4.6.1 is a security and maintenance release for all previous
versions.

* That’s… really something that I wasn’t expecting. From the source code it looks
like your theme is doing some strange things with the page titles. I’d start
there, and work back.
* I highly dougt that Yoast is doing anything with that because Yoast doesn’t make
any modifications to the page titles anywhere, but if you think that could be
an isue, remove it and see if that changes things back to how they were before.

* See the word yoast in there? Yoast wrote over my code. All I need is the code
for About Us: I just have the code in the wrong positions.

* I do not believe that Yoast did that. I use Yoast on every site that I’ve made,
and I have never seen this… ever.
* Having said that, did you delete the Yoast plugin? If that is what’s causing
the problem, then remove it and the problem will stop.

* The “correct” code is just as you’ve got it on here.

About Us:
`
* BUT, that’s not correct HTML code, and it should not ever be part of your title.
There is something very very very wrong going on either in your theme or the
way that you’re entering your page titles.
* If you are entering your titles as plain text (eg: ‘About Us’) then your theme
is doing soemthing very bad with them, and you’ll need to contact the themes
author or vender for support on that. If you are entering the title using the
HTML code that you’re uisng above, then you are realyl doing it the wrong way
and you should only be using the the plain text and not the rest.
