This will be in your header.php, something like: <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> | <?php wp_title(); ?></title> Just change the vertical line to be included in the conditional, so that it shows on the other pages but not on the homepage, such as: <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?>| <?php } ?> <?php … Read more

add_theme_support( ‘title-tag’ ) doesn’t belong in your header template. It belongs in your functions.php file. Usually, it’s best to wrap it in it’s own function and hook it to after_setup_theme in order to allow plugins and child themes to override it later if they need to. So… function wpse_add_title_support() { add_theme_support( ‘title-tag’ ); } add_action … Read more

Usage of wp_title() is not recommended anymore. Instead, you can add the title-tag support to your theme, so WordPress can automatically build and output the proper title for you.

Do you have any SEO plugins installed? They usually fiddle with this logic. Having Yoast enabled, the pre_get_document_title does not work for me, instead you should use wpseo_title per their documentation. Having said that, with SEO plugins disabled and add_theme_support(‘title-tag’); enabled, the pre_get_document_title filter works for me without any problem. add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, function () { add_theme_support(‘title-tag’); … Read more

Take a look in header.php of your theme. Some themes have the title output like this: <title><?php wp_title(‘|’, true, ‘right’); ?> | <?php echo get_bloginfo(‘name’) ?></title> So you’ll have to remove the | <?php echo get_bloginfo(‘name’) ?> part. However you should keep the title of the site in the <title> for SEO purposes.
