   Hi,

   I'm using SEO by Yoast for my website. However, I noticed that there is no way to customize the frontpage SEO settings. In Angular, I have set the frontpage to be "portfolio", and I have already set all the SEO settings for that page. It works out fine when you click on the actual "portfolio" page, but if you just go to the home/frontpage, the settings are no longer there. The title of the page is reverted to what I have set in "general settings".

   How could I work around this?

   Hey,
   in header.php replace:
   

   <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php is_home() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(''); ?></title>

   with:
   

   <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

   your missing ´´.... should look like:

   <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

   Tried that - didn't work neither.

   I have the SEO title for my portfolio page set to:

   Jeff Huang — Art Director & Illustrator | Illustration & Design

   but it's showing up as this on the homepage

   I actually just changed the title in my general settings to prove that it is indeed not working.

   You could see it there.

   Again, in angular, I have my frontpage set to my "portfolio" page, and in the portfolio page, I have the SEO set to:

   Jeff Huang — Art Director & Illustrator | Illustration & Design

   I must fix this since this is the homepage...

   It's an issue with the seo plugin then because it hooks into the wp_title function. You can try to deactivate the seo homepage title output and use the standard code instead.

   @hectortarifa - thanks for spotting this. I corrected the code.

   Fixed it -

   Turns out I had to go into General Settings -> Reading, and set the frontpage manually to portfolio instead of "latest post". Now it works.
