    I saw some discussion on this in the comments on your Site Greg, but I am unclear on how to make it happen. Yes I want to set a custom title tag to appear in the meta title tag for PAGES, but have the page tite used for navigation, you said

    Then instead of using the template tag for the main title between your title tags, use the template tag for the secondary title in that position and put the template tag for the main title in your page body

    but I am unsure how to do this. I changed the setting under Main Titles in the config area for Single pages to use: %page_title_custom% instead of %page_title% but this does not change anything in my title tag after publishing.

    Nimia has brought forth a valid point though I understand you are speaking from a standards and non interfrence stand point, Nimia was speaking from an SEO stand point. Where i think the ultimate problem lies though is this is need for wordpress PAGES, not the blog posts, as you would optimize any other regular website pages on a normal site but setting a very custom tuitle tag to it. Posts are their own entity and I agree titles should be left alone for them, but pages are used in navigation causing a conflict between good title optimization and having a normal navigation text. Perhaps a limit of wordpress not allowing for pages to set a separate Navigation name perhaps…

    hopefully you are able to point as to how to set that secondary title and the title tag.

    thanks!

    looks like i will answer my own question. a new day always brings forth new ideas!

    i had not added this code to the header.php file replacing the title tag that was part of the template i used. Doing this, then setting %page_title_custom% in the Main titles section, produces the result I was looking for.

    <title>
<?php
if (function_exists('ghpseo_output'))
    ghpseo_output('main_title');
else wp_title('', true);
?>
</title>
