 * Hi, I have a very strange bug when I activate Yoast on our multisite WP website.
   
   When I activate Yoast plugin a random post title appears as a page title on the
   website frontpage. [https://cbe.aua.am/](https://cbe.aua.am/) – I have hide it
   now with CSS. the title that appears is not the current page title it is a post
   title. this post exists on the website, but its title appears on the frontpage.
   If you need more details I can give you wp access. Thank you much in advance.

 * About your issue with the post title, we checked the source code of your site
   [https://cbe.aua.am/](https://cbe.aua.am/) and can confirm that there are 2 <
   title> tags outputting in the source code.
 * `<title>Home - College of Business and Economics (CBE)College of Business and
   Economics (CBE)</title>`
 * AND
 * `<title>Home - College of Business and Economics (CBE)</title>`
 * We’re not sure a duplicate title tag could be coming from. It’s probably being
   added by another plugin or theme.
 * Just to be sure, we would like to rule out any plugin or theme conflicts that
   may occur. The fastest way to do this is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins
   and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Nineteen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentynineteen/).
 * Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend
   using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
 * As we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like
   to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: 
   [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/).
 * Can you inform us of the results?
 * In addition, we noticed you’re running an older version of Yoast SEO. Please 
   update to the latest version and check the issue.
