Wordpress Title Element tag too long?

[hmhuber]

So apparently when I add the name of the blog within Wordpress, the name of the blog shows up after the the main title of each blog post and page. So trying to keep the title element >70 characters, how does one name the Wordpress blog as mine is/was: Lake Tahoe wedding photographer / Heidi Huber Photography and keep that only on the intro page and leave each page of the blog and the titles of the blog posts to not have "Lake Tahoe wedding photographer added to the end of the Title Element?

Anyone have any idea? I also had gone in at one point and updated every single Title on each page/post using Yoast's SEO and the SEOMOZ crawl is still coming up with over 216 caution errors for the title page.

Thank you so much for any advice!

I'm not that fluent with Wordpress Yoast, but I think you should have in the preferences top option to include or remove the title tag at the end. However you would also need to pay attention to your template, because this too could be adding its own title tag and appending stuff at the end.

Aha. Thank you Jonathan! I think I found the culprit within the Wordpress template. We'll see if this works.

To avoid a template change, you could also try using the "Force Rewrite Titles" option in Yoast.
