How do I edit the title tags?

Post by jhorowitz »

I know that is very elementary, but I'm pretty new to this and am just learning about the importance of the way the title tags are worded with SEO and I cannot figure out where/how to edit the title tags. Any help would be most appreciated!

Thank you,
Jennifer

When you make/edit a page there is Title: box, this is title of page and anywhere you use {title} tag it will show, like in default templates in <head> is <title> {title} {sitename} </title>...

OK. How do I change the structure. Now my title tags are in the format of {sitename} - {title}.

I'd like to globally change the format to {title} | {sitename}.

How do I globally change that format?

Thanks!

For that you must adjust your page template. Like the good Dr. said, if you edit your template(s) there is somthing like

Code: Select all

<title> {sitename} - {title} </title>
in your <head> section. If you change this to:

Code: Select all

<title> {title} | {sitename} </title>
it will affect all pages based on that template.

If you use more than one template (one for the homepage, another one for the subpages and a third one for i.e. a galery page) you must change that in every template, but not in evry page
