# Remove trailing hyphen

 * I can’t remove the separator/ hyphen from my archive categories post titles.
   
   I removed the separator from every instance in the Search Appearance settings
   but it still shows up after every title on archive pages. I can’t find any other
   information on how to remove this hyphen other than editing the search appearance
   settings which is not working or disabling the plugin which I can’t do because
   the client uses it for the seo. There has to be some way to hide it. Anyone with
   a working solution please help. Thanks!

 * I found the setting. If you leave the Categories SEO title field blank it seems
   to default to the outputting trailing hyphen.
    Adding Term Title to the SEO Title
   field outputs the post/category title without the hyphen.
