How to fix Duplicate Page Title

[BistosAmerica]

I have so many Duplicate Page Title issue on my website.

www.soobumimphotography.com

Though I had to use NAME + Area + Photographer on every title page so ended up something like this

San Antonio Sports Photographer | Soobumim Photography : San Antonio Wedding Photographers | Soobumim Photography

http://www.soobumimphotography.com/chicago-cubs-at-houston-astros-mlb-soobumim-photography/

What's the best way to fix this problem?

Should I delete them?  Redirect? - to be honest, I don't know how.

I am using Yoast plugin

Hi,

I would recommend using the format [Page h1] | Soobumim Photography. For your example, the title would be Chicago Cubs at Huston Astros MLB | Soobumim Photography.

Wordpress has a lot of options for SEO, so I'm sure that there's some way you can set up the page title to follow that format. I don't use the Yoast plugin, but I found a discussion about putting the page title in here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-yoast-plugin-duplicate-page-title

Hope this helps,

Kristina

Ok this is in fact two issues, page title and URL length.

To fix the issue with the page title, there is probably a global setting within the Yoast plugin (I don't use it myself) and you have the following title above added in this section.

Failing that it will be in the Site Name section of the wordpress settings.

I would use page name | site name - in some cases I don't even bother with site name (on a blog for example), having just viewed your site it looks like you have fixed the page title issue?

Regarding the long URL's, if you wish to change these Wordpress should automatically 301 the old page to the new URL that you chose (but test this by changing and trying to visit the old URL above and confirm that it redirects).

Hope that helps...
