   How do I get the home page not to use the blog title without just emptying the field in settings? For SEO purposes, need the title to say:
   Precision Investment Castings | Dal-Air Investment Castings - Point TX

   However, says Dal-Air Investment CastingsPrecision Investment Castings | Dal-Air Investment Castings - Point TX - where the first Dal-Air is coming from the site name on the settings page. The second part comes from an SEO plug-in that works great on all pages, but since the Home Page is not an actual page, it populates as above.

   Development site is
   http://66.147.244.213/~dalairca

   Thanks.

   Hey,
   the title is generated in header.php. Search for following code:
   

   <title><?php if (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } elseif (is_category() || is_page() ||is_single()) { ?> <?php } ?><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

   and change the title as you like.

   Furthermore, is it possible to change part of the title so that it still shows the main page's title plus a subpage?

   For example, main page would be titled HOMEPAGE

   Then the "about" page would be titled HOMEPAGE | About

   Thanks!

   Yes,
   just replace following code in header.php:
   

   <title><?php if (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } elseif (is_category() || is_page() ||is_single()) { ?> <?php } ?><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

   with:
   

   <title><?php if (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } elseif (is_category() || is_page() ||is_single()) { ?> <?php } ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

   I've made both of the changes above and now my home page reads Bookkeeping Services | JNW Business SolutionsJNW Business Solutions |. My other pages seem to read correctly. Did I make an incorrect change?

   My site is http://www.jnwsolutions.com

   Thanks.

   I played around with it some more and fixed it. Sorry if I wasted your time.

    The code James posted was this
    <title><?php if (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } elseif (is_category() || is_page() ||is_single()) { ?> <?php } ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php wp_title(''); ?></title>
    and this the correct one
    <title><?php if (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); ?><?php } elseif (is_category() || is_page() ||is_single()) { ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php wp_title(''); ?><?php } ?></title>
    I changed the place of <?php } ?> !
    because if they use the code James provided they will face the problem mrwalker mentioned.
    I'm no expert but I just wanted to put the right so if someone else wanted to do the same thing to their site they wouldn't face any problems. :)
