hterrag Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I've searched and could not find a way to remove "Forums" from the site title. How can I remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hterrag Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Tried that, it just hides the "Forums" in the index page but it is still on the site title: Edited May 28, 2020 by hterrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklcfc Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This is what I do. Go To SEO > Meta Tags > Add Meta Tag In Page Address put * I'm not sure if Page title will work, it might but I leave that blank I clicked Add and selected other and then put 'og:site_name" Then type what you want it to show in the box hterrag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will replace the page title on every page with whatever you place there. That will mislead users and degrade SEO. You will just want to change the page title for your forum index, which you can do via the meta tag live editor if you are unsure of the page address: hterrag, All Astronauts and Miss_B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you didn't do "/" instead? That will be for the software's index page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testing that myself, that is what I'm receiving. As you've left the Title tag empty, it won't replace anything for Title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the site name meta tag to be on every page as it was missing in source, I thought it would help google. Does it not? For @hterrag instead of doing what I said, put / in page address then just edit the Page Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The og prefix is for open graph, this is mainly for when your website is shared to Facebook and other websites. Little information on that: https://ahrefs.com/blog/open-graph-meta-tags/ Just now, marklcfc said: For @hterrag instead of doing what I said, put / in page address then just edit the Page Title That would only be if they are using Forums as their default application is at their community index. As mentioned, it would be better for them to assess the situation and use the information provided in my post if they are unsure: hterrag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
