Yoast plug in - title settings
-
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 JournalSo 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?

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?
-
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.

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

No problem, you must spend few hours to learn full potential of yoast plugin at the beginning it can be confusing. Good luck!

That was fix. Thank you so much
-
go to yoast seo > title & meta > under post title template set only title
may be your problem will resolved...

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

Online shop - Long Titles & URLs acceptable?
Hi guys, We have this new online shop with over 1000 products (very technical products), synchronised with the SAP system of the company. So basically the page URLs are generated based on the following structure: Domain Name / Language / Product Category / Subcategory-1 / Subcategory-2 / Subcategory-3 / Product Name and Model Sometimes the URLs are over 130 characters length. Would this harm the shop's ranking, so should we really fix this, or it's something that can be ignored, having in mind the technical products in the shop? I would really appreciate your advice! Thanks!

Custom hreflang tags in WP & using with Yoast
Hi My clients dev has added custom fields for adding hreflang tags to head of pages such as: "Rel Type", "The URL", and "Language Code" Am i right in thinking that until a different language/country version of the site is created these can remain empty or should they still be populated once added say with some sort of global reference or best left blank since will leave the head content global by default ? Also how important is it to add charset to the language code ? since seems optional ? Also this set up is on WP multi-site with Yoast and devs asked me the below: _One thing to note is that Yoast generates its own "canonical" tags - so if _
Technical SEO | | Dan-Lawrence
_you are going to use hreflang tags and canonical tags then you don't need to _
_add a canonical using the custom fields I have set up - Yoast has that _
sorted. _But if you are going down the route of NOT having any canonical tags - and _
_using a x-defult for the hreflang tags, I will need to try and suppress the _
_Yoast canonical tag so you can do this. Much depends on your approach and _
what you think is best. So how do i know if using canonicals or x-default, i take it best simplest to leverage Yoast and hence not add canonicals to custom fields ? Isnt x-default just for indicating language selectors/redirector not specific to 1 region? So long as havnt got those then good to proceed with Yoasts generated canonicals ? Cheers dan0 -
