Useful Info On All In One SEO Post Title Settings And A Huge Shout Out to Jay

Hi WArrirors and WArriettes

I've recently started a new website using the Generate Press Theme and when I wrote a post a few days ago and did my SEO Title, the character count went way above the 60 max that Google allows (well, 'prefers'), even though it should only have been 41 characters long.

The reason was that somehow unbeknownst to Yours Truly, my Website Title was being included along with my Post Title.

Since I hadn't encountered this problem with other websites using different themes, I naturally assumed it was an issue with Generate Press....

WRONG!

It was to do with the settings on my All In One SEO Plugin, which as you know is the default SEO Plugin that we get with our sites here at Wealthy Affiliate.

JAY TO THE RESCUE!

A quick Mayday call, and the Cavalry came galloping to my rescue in the form of Jay Neil (Magistudios), our outstanding Live Training Coach. And BTW, if you're a Premium Member here and you aren't checking out his live trainings, then you are doing yourself a terrible dis-service. If you can't catch the Live, they are all uploaded within 24 hours.

See the LIVE EVENTS section of your Dashboard on the left of your screen.

The solution is copied and pasted below:

This has nothing to do with the GeneratePress theme.
It is a setting in All in One SEO.
Go to All in One SEO > General Settings
Go to the section Title Settings and look for 'Post Title Format'
From there, remove the part that says | %site_title%
Scroll back up and press Update Options.

Job done - took me a couple of seconds!

Thank you so much, Jay, you're an absolute diamond. Remind me to buy you a beer in Vegas!

Hope you all find this useful, folks.

Cheers

Rich :-)
