I don't know if its on the home page (page) or in the plugin set up but when you change that bit in the header.php, wordpress doesn't know what to do for a page title so it has to rely on Yoast.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-97158 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 06:29:22 +0000 cpwilson2 97158@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks Peter</p> <p>A new issue has arisen now.</p> <p>It is all fine EXCEPT the home pages (English and Indonesian). IF you look the titles are not working and they are certainly not what I wrote in the SEO dashboard.</p> <p>Any advice? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-97156 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 06:26:01 +0000 Dude 97156@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> Glad that you solved the issue :) </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> Peter </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-97138 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:12:24 +0000 cpwilson2 97138@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Solved it. Strange this has been a problem for weeks and then after writing to you I crack it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-97116 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:03:56 +0000 cpwilson2 97116@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>By the way - the home page is interesting. It displays non of the text that I have written in the SEO title box. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-97115 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:02:04 +0000 cpwilson2 97115@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I followed this advice.</p> <p>replacing </p> <p>&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php bloginfo('name'); ?&gt; | &lt;?php is_home() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(''); ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;</p> <p>with </p> <p>&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php wp_title(''); ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt; (also a general advice on a wordpress plug in support forum although the text to be replaced seems theme specific).</p> <p>I am using Yoast.</p> <p>It still does not work.</p> <p>The title tags are repeated and seem to be drawing from two sources (one I write in the yoast plug in and one from somewhere else).</p> <p>The best example is the contact page</p> <p><a href="http://www.indonesiadetective.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://www.indonesiadetective.com/contact/</a></p> <p>The second Indonesia Private . ... . . . . . . . . should not be there.</p> <p>Basically I need to only display what is written in the Yoast SEO title box.</p> <p>By the way it has nothing to do with the rewrite Yoast option and nor am I using another SEO plug in.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Paul </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-87978 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 07:25:42 +0000 Dude 87978@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Not sure why this happens. I checked your title and meta tags and all contain the right text string which is: "Reasons Why SEO Campaigns Fail - SEO Cognition | SEO | Search | Marketing". Also the share buttons above the "About the author field" showed me the correct page title. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-87869 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:18:53 +0000 j1980mac 87869@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thank you. That's partially fixed it. However, whenever I go to use bit.ly, or other sharing tools, it still displays like the screenshot I've attached.</p> <p><a href="http://seocognition.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-Shot-2012-12-12-at-11.17.20-AM.png" rel="nofollow">http://seocognition.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-Shot-2012-12-12-at-11.17.20-AM.png</a></p> <p>I'm not sure why this is doing this… </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-87772 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 07:45:47 +0000 Dude 87772@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Your title is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;title&gt;SEO Cognition | SEO | Search | Marketing Home - SEO Cognition | SEO | Search | Marketing&lt;/title&gt;</code></pre> <p>If you're using a seo tool you might want to change the default title structure. Open up header.php and replace:</p> <pre><code>&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php bloginfo(&#39;name&#39;); ?&gt; | &lt;?php is_home() ? bloginfo(&#39;description&#39;) : wp_title(&#39;&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;</code></pre> <p>with:</p> <pre><code>&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php wp_title(&#39;&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-title-tags-upon-posting-and-social-mediasharing#post-87714 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:43:06 +0000 j1980mac 87714@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes,</p> <p>Could you tell me how come whenever I post to social media, or use bit.ly to share posts, I always get my title in the share two times?</p> <p><a href="http://seocognition.com/" rel="nofollow">http://seocognition.com/</a></p> <p>Here's a picture of what I'm talking about attached.</p> <p><a href="http://seocognition.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-Shot-2012-12-11-at-7.41.07-PM.png" rel="nofollow">http://seocognition.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-Shot-2012-12-11-at-7.41.07-PM.png</a></p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Josh </p>
