I want the pipe instead of the dash symbol. Or like Yoast has a special character…very tricky! * [cq3abn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mprewitt3abn/) * (@mprewitt3abn) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-wrong-post-separator/#post-3083461) * I have the same issue, in my header.php the separator is defined as `wp_title('& rang;', true, 'right' );` … i.e, the right-angle character. However, WordPress SEO outputs all my titles with a plain ol’ dash. * [cq3abn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mprewitt3abn/) * (@mprewitt3abn) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-wrong-post-separator/#post-3083462) * Nevermind, I figured it out. In my case I had to disable the checkbox, “Force rewrite titles”, which had been enabled by default. After that, it worked as expected.
