# title repeating

 * Hi there,
 * I am fighting to find a way to end this error. My title tag is repeating twice.
   Thus, the header.php code seems to be correct. Is it from here? I tried to find
   it on other posts, and there are similar problems but I think the reason is different
   for mine 🙁
 * Thanks by advance for any kind of help 🙂
    The website is [http://www.artiane.com](http://www.artiane.com)
 *     ```
       <!--Meta Tags-->
       <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
       <?php if(theme_get_option('general','enable_seo_settings') == 'yes') : ?>
       <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo stripslashes(theme_get_option('general','meta_keywords')); ?>" />
       <meta name="description" content="<?php echo stripslashes(theme_get_option('general','meta_description')); ?>" />
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       <!--Title-->
       <title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>
   
       <!--RSS Feeds & Pingbacks-->
       <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS2 Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
       <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
       ```

 * Are you talking about the title tag or about a post or page title?

 * Hi Peter,
    It is about the title tag.
 * It is like that:
    Galerie Artiane « Honfleur Galerie Artiane
 * And Galerie Artiane shouldn’t be added twice.

 * On header.php, I did that:
 * `<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>`
 * Change it to:
 * `<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>`
 * Do you think it is ok? Because the title tag is not repeating now, but I am affraid
   of bad consequences on other part othe the website.

 * By using this
    `<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title
   >` You tell wordpress to fill the title tag with the name of the blog, followed
   by the title of the page or post being viewed.
 * If the title of the page or post is the same as the name of the entire blog, 
   you’ll get the same text twice.
 * Not a bug and google will not ban you for this.

 * Thanks Peter for your explanation.
    Then my problem is to be able to edit the
   home page title. Maybe I can’t due to the theme I use which is using the blog
   title as homepage title.

 * If you’re using a page as home page,
    go to dashboard, pages, the page your using
   as home page, change title
 * if you’re using the blog front page as home page, look into the index.php file.
