On my site at http://www.jamesserra.com, I use “James Serra’s Blog” as my site title. But in the browser tab (Chrome or Edge), it shows as “James Serra\’s Blog”. Any ideas on how to remove the “\”? Thanks!
I suspect WordPress is having a problem with the apostrophe…
@weaver, any idea why the apostrophe of the site title ends up preceded by a slash in the browser TAB label adn if we can do something about it ?Searching google, it confirms my fear.
Someone mentioned replacing the apostrophe by its HTML character & #8217;
so try making the title
James Serra& #8217;s Blog
Ok, here is what is weird: If I go to General Settings and change the Site Title, it does NOT affect the browser TAB label. So any ideas on where the info used in the browser TAB label is pulled from?
No luck after clearing the cache. It seems where the TAB label is created from when on my sites home page is a mystery. Other pages will show the TAB label correctly, for example “Microsoft Ignite Announcements 2021 | James Serra’s Blog”.
When you change the Site title to something else, are all the pages showing the new title except the home page. or none of them show the new title ?
Are you using Yoast ?
Site title and tagline not showing on homepage tab | WordPress.org
If not test deactivating ALL non weaver plugin and see if that makes a difference
That was the hint I needed! Turns out the plug-in AIOSEO – The World’s Best WordPress SEO Plugin and Toolkit has an option to set the site title for the home page, which had the “\” in it. All fixed now! Thanks!
