Wordpress duplicate titles - can't find original title tags

[lauratagdigital]

I added new code to rewrite the page titles <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

But I can't find the normal title tags in the Header PHP file in editor so I now have duplicate titles tags in the source code

This is the code - can't see what else would be titles?  This is the website ...

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

eFavIcon(); ?>

eCSS(); ?>

enabled('Theme')) { ?>

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic,700italic" />

Hi Laura,

That would depend on the theme you are using

If you can't find it in the header file you could check the other files

It looks like it's actually the nav bar that's coming on the title

Hi Laura,

If I remember correctly (it was a while since I messed around with these things), doesn't wp_title() actually add the <title>tags itself? If so you would just need:</p> <blockquote style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #f7f7f7; padding-top: 5px; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 2px; padding-bottom: 5px; white-space: nowrap; overflow-y: auto; font-family: monospace;"> <p><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" /></p> <p><?php wp_title(''); ?></p> <p>    <?php sg_header_meta(); ?></p> </blockquote> <p>There is more info here : <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_title">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_title</a></p> <p>If that doesn't do it, you could always try reversing your changes and use an SEO plugin, like the awesome Yoast Wordpress SEO (<a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/</a>) which should allow you to change the titles without mucking around with the wordpress code itself.</p> <p>Hope that helps!</p> <p>Stuart</p></title>

Hi Laura, has your issue been resolved?

Hi Christy,

No - I still have two sets of titles in the source code but only one that I can see in the theme editor.

Hi Laura

I've used this theme before, so I'm going to look into how I got it to work with Yoast and I'll get back to you here.

One quick question first - did you try checking of "force rewrite titles" under title settings in Yoast?

As mentioned below, I have this theme on an active website now with Yoast running and seem to have it working.

This is the Felis WordPress theme by fireform if anyone else is curious.

Try;

• removing the extra title tag code you added the header.php

• select "force rewrite titles" in title settings

Let's see if that does it - I don't recall editing any other code to make it work, but I could be wrong, in which case I'll dig a little more for you.
