Title Showing Up as "Home" (5 posts)

    I just noticed on technorati that my main site is called "Home" instead of "Chatty Women". I looked under "options" and "Chatty Women" is listed. The titles are correct for all of the blogs that are NOT the home blog. Is there a way to change that main title from showing up at "Home"? I just noticed that it is showing as Home in the Explorer bar at the top as well.

    Look in the header (header.php) of your theme and see what is there between the title tags...maybe you got "Home" hard-coded in some way. If so, replace it with this and see if that helps.

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

    It doesn't look like it is hardcoded, but it looks pretty complex:

    <title><?php if (is_single() || is_page() || is_archive()) { wp_title('',true); } else { bloginfo('name'); echo(' — '); bloginfo('description'); } ?></title>

    You can replace what you have with what Steve suggested.

    The line you pasted just means "if it's a single page, a Page or an archive, do this, other wise, show the site name & description".

    The line steve has up there says "grab the title and the blog name, whatever page we're looking at".

    That gets me closer. LOL! Now I have "Home Chatty Women" but all of the other blogs have their titles correct. It's a step in the right direction. Thanks to you both!
