      Hi,

      I am using yoast plugin and having problems with title.

      For example, my recent post http://www.soobumimphotography.com/bulverde-realtor-headshot/
      It's showing as "Bulverde Realtor Headshot | San Antonio Headshot PhotographerSan Antonio Wedding Photography Journal

      So basically, homepapge title is followed on every single page and post.

      I would like Bulverde Realtor Headshot | San Antonio Headshot Photographer

      Could you help with this?

        You have another title set in General Settings in Wordpress. That's why you have duplicated title.

                This is only SEO plug in that I need to learn so it's worth spend sometime.

                Thanks again

                  Here's how I've set up the plugin:

                  Under Yoast plugin settings: Titles & Metas > Check <label for="forcerewritetitle">Force rewrite titles</label>

                  Cautions: Any default title will be re-written by the plugin, I'm using this option because I'm optimizing titles & descriptions on all posts & pages.

                    I'm having a similar difficulty on my own site - the words "Philadelphia SEO Company" are being appended to end of every post, not pages, posts only.

                    • I've ticked "force rewrite titles" on the Yoast General tab.
                    • I'm using "%%title%% " in the title template for both pages and posts on the Post Types tab.
                    • I have not touched the header.php file.

                    Any ideas?
