      I have got a site that requires to have a custom title tag for its home page (primarily). Its using Joomla 3.3.1. I am not using any SEO components as of now. I have checked the the global configuration, It has Polymer Resources as the site name.

      I am also attaching copy of the Menu Manager>Main menu> home

      I would like to see the Home Page browser Title to read:

      Custom Engineered Plastic Resin | Polymer Resources

      But my current settings does not let me change the home page title.

      Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

      Thank you in advance

        Do it through the menu items, rather than the main dashboard. Much easier. This will also allow you to add a custom title, and meta for each menu link you have, which will help your rankings if done correctly

        If it will not let you over ride the setting, I would install RSSEO, which will allow the page title over ride. Out of curiousity, why is it required that you have that tag attached to the home page? Doesn't really offer you any benefit.

          Dear David,

          Thank you for your answer. I have actually tried doing it directly from the menus and it did not solve the issues. As for your question regarding having the title tag for the home page, my understanding is that the title tag is one fo the important tags from ON Page perspective and I want my title tag for the site home page to have that keyword included. Please correct me, if I am wrong.

          Do you have any idea about what might be causing it not accept the changes in the menu items?

          Thank you.

            PM me the site link. I'll take a look. Yes, you will want to have a very distinct page title for the home page, I thought you were trying to assign a tag to the home page, which would add that into every page, my mistake.

            Also, make sure you have your home page menu item and article set to default. Here is an article that may help you:
